9l9-toot level-Stoping continues
on the Shaft vein 10 the
east of the shaft In the east end Of
the stope. work was started TO cut
into. a fault and with one round of
shots the fracture was penetrated
and about feet OF good ore was
picked up. The same drift has
hit another fault. Crosscutting in
waste to fill up the stope is now in
progress and as soon as it is filled.
prosecuting will be resumed to get
through the new fault The yield
of the stope in value continues about
the same as for some time past.

565-foot intermediate level-The
crosscut south from the western |
portion OF the Macdonald vein. was
extended 20 feet in trachyte. cutting |
several stringers of low grade quartz.
This drosseut viii be sent through to
connect with the Martha vein about
so feet distant from the present face.
Quite a bunch of quartz has been
being very good but spotted. After
the objective connection is made, a
drift will be run on the quartz cut

Shaft vein, northeast Of the shaft,
is producing a very good grade of
ore, which is showing considerable
improvement.
615-foot level-The crosscut being

up into the hanging wall of the east

!. quite heavily mineralized in spots.
Stopping operations on the north
branch of the Triangle vein, about go
feet north OF the eastern portion OF
the Main Triangle vein, are giving a
small tonnage of good ore. There
:. are two branches of the vein, two
feet against the footwall being high
the hanging wall measures from tt
feet of good ore. II is apparent
!, that the two branches of the veiI

the level and it is probable that 1

intermediate level so feet below
