in the world. and It's ore Is shown to
occur In close relation to this fault sys--

in quantity. with some Of high grade, on
the Conqueror property, and new dis

face on the Crackerjaok property. lying
between the Orc and Conqueror. All OF

theory held TO by Ransome, Spur and
| all the other prominent biologists and
authorities who have examined the
geology of this part OF tho district and
1t IS the firm conviction Of most well in

destined to make the next big and rich
gold mine Of the Goldfeld district.
Adjoining the Orc on the northwest
and hence at less depth, is being eX-
plored on the Booth property. The work
is now being conducted on the 50o-foot
level. and a large quartz mass has been
penetrated by the croSscut at this depth
and Is to be thoroughly explored by
drifts. The main Booth vein was pene-
trated on the 35o-foot level. but the char
acter of the vein here led TO the conclu-
sion that sufficient depth had not been
attained TO gain the best results.
On the Blue Bull property the cross
cut on the 700-foot level is now appar-
emily about to cut the main Victor vein;
and there is good ground for the belief
that the exploration of this vein, at this
depth. will bring forth important re
