A splendid grade of ore continues

this grade of ore, having a gross
value of over $4,000, are broken in
the stope, ready for the mill. The
extension of this ore is now being
proved in an east drift which has so
far been extended for so feet east
of the stope and continues to show a
full face of this splendid grade ore
and it is possible for the vein to ex-
tend east a further $50 feet before
encountering the Extension fault and
it has therefore immense POSSIBLE
