 of which pass to the possession of | the Coloradoans The latter will be- gin development work in the main shaft on June list. under mineral con- ditions that bespeak the treatment of ore at an early date
 It is the intention to lower the shaft to a depth of 500 feet and at that level Go crosscue tho large ore bodies exposed on the 100 and iOO- foot levels The crosscut and drift to the north on the lO0-foot level show a 295-foot ore shoot that samples from S5 to $16 per ton and that aver i ages SS.50 per ton. while the develop ment work to the south on the 4OO- level shows a 25o-foot ore shoot that samples an average of SIP per ton.
