The most notable Improvement
which occurred as a result OF me
development work in the
mine during the week was in raise 80
which is going up from east drl1t
1881 on the 1000 level. This raise
was started on good ore but there
has been a steady improvement III
values until at present the entire
product is high grade ore. Best OF
all is the fact that the width OF
this rich ore is greater nan .ua'
of the raise. just how much VIII De
determined when more development
is done. At this time it is one OF the
best looking places in the niue.
There was an improvement also IN
west drift 1887, which is llow!
a branch of the favorite vein tha'
;s rather narrow but which has wld-
ened in the last few days. WORK
has not yet been resumed on east
drift 1881 and west drift losz on
this level.
On the 500 level there was an IN
crease in the values in east drl1t
$40. which now shows three and a
half feet of very good ore. the raise
on the Occidental vein also shows an
Improvement, there being several
streaks of very good ore now IN
sight.
Work has been suspended on raise
10 which is going up from the east
drift on the 955 vein on the 900
level, owing to the fact hat 1t be-
came too hot to work to advantage
, Northeast crosscut S31, on the level
y above, will connect with this raise
and provide the necessary ventila-
tion Raise %, off west drift 952
now shows two narrow streaKs Oh
