The Halifax vein which is believed
to be the western extension of the
great Belmont vein has been
opened up in trachyte formation on
the 1100-foot level of the Halifax
mine at a point about ESQ feet south
east of the shaft.
At this point the cross-cut passed
through the downward extension of
the north and south contact from
the 1000-foot level, the north side
of the cross-cut showing some quartz,
east of the contact. The cross-cut
was extended southeasterly about 60
feet and then turned to the south,
all in trachyte formation.
At a point near where the cross
cut was turned south, a ross assure,
showing quartz, was encountered
and drifting north on this vas started

countered, showing a width of fully
20 feet before the h~anging-wall was
struck. Drifting east on this side of
the vein is now in progress in ore
ranging from 81 to 50 a ton in
value, and it is thought that about
80 feet of drifting will be necessary
before the downward extension of
the ore-shoot on the 1000-foot level
is encountered.
AT a point in the southeast cross
cut where prosecuting north was
started, a raise is being put up on
the vein also in low-grade ore and
about SO feet southeast another
raise has also been started which has
not yet entered the quartz. One of
these raises will be extended up to
the level above.
On this level drifting north has
now been started on the body of
quartz in the contact and from this
drift, raises will be put up to the
downward extension of the quartz
bodies cut on the levol above.
A hig station will now be cut on
this level and a station will also be
cut on the 12OO-foot level, from
which a northeast drift will be run
to the downward extension of the
vein.
West End
A great body of mill ore has been
opened up in the past two weeks in
the West End mine on the 5O0-foot
level, where a cross-cut was started
from the footwall side of the West
End vein to determine it's width be-
tween walls.
This cross-cut was extended south
for a distance of rs feet before en-
countering the hanging-wall of the
vein, and for that distance the ore
will average SIP a ton AS the vein
dips at a very fiat angle, the cross
cut does not represent the exact
width of the vein, which, if standing
vertical, would be about 40 feet wide
between walls, but it demonstrates
the existence of an immense body OF
mill ore on the hanging-wall side of
the vein and a width of fully 7 feet
of high-grade ore on the footwall
side, already previously proved by
the west drift.
On this level the vein was drifted
on on the footwall side, from a point
east of this cross-cut westward for
about 800 feet in good mill ore, and
another cross-cut has now been start
ed west of the No. l cross-cut to de-
