great confidence that 100000 tons of
6 per cent ore and 100000 tons of 4

A most interesting and important
piece OF development work has been
done on the 9th level-after going
south for 200 feet THROUGH intrusives

vorable for oDening up an ore body
that will extend to the surface-600

In the Douglas Hill section OF this
mine. the most important develop

large body OF shipping ore in the
Maybe drift. 1t is estimated that there
has been developed within the last two
