The Success company. whose prop

tract for crosscut on the 40o-foo'
tunnel level. This crosscut is for tho
purpose Of tapping the vein under The
S5-foot winze which was sunk from
the upper tunnel. In the bottom %
this Wine the ore body was crosscu'
and shown TO be IL feet wide. while
the value of the ore is greater than a
any other point in the Success minr
nowledged to be excellent. This cross
cut will give an additional depth c
115 feet, and if the values continue t
increase with depth--or even hole

be considerably augmented.
The Flake.
On the Flake development was slow
last week owing to most of the force
being engaged in hauling logs anr

formation here resembles that of the
National district. the veins being gen.

regular.
One Of the best in this section is that
