promises to produce a very large ton
mage of rich ore.
C~rosscutting to pick up its up
ward extension on the 1166-foOt

will have encountered the orebody.
What is known as the Middle vein,
which was also cut on the 18th level,
about two weeks ago, is a big body
of low-grade ore about Is feet wide,
and drifting east and west on this
for an ore shoot is in progress.

foot level as also commenced, the
ore now being 2 feet wide OF very
good grade with every indication
that it is widening as drifting pro-
crosses.

cate that when the vein is
tered, it will carry splendid values.
