 The crosscut being run by the Arl zuna-Tom Reed management is out from the Pioneer shaft a length of lgO feet at the time of forwarding this dispatch. the objective being the LiHah vein which lies about 60 feet from the side line of the Pioneer and about TO feet beyond the present face of the drive. The latter is being ad vanced by Superintendent Moser ai the rate of five feet per day and under normal conditions should reach con tact with the Lillah vein by Thanks giving Day. It is passing through an intrusive audesite dike similar to tha' lying between the Tom Reed and United Eastern veins and is at inter vals iutersectiug seams of calcite that show a little gold when banned.
 Trend of Lillah Vein.
 The trend of the Lillah vein is sim liar to that of the Tom Reed and Colo Road Iodes, its course being north 4 degrees west. and lt appears to have a slight dip toward the Pioneer Th' latter condition holds out the hop that the crosscut will intercept shortly after passing the side line O the Pioneer.
