and consists of 80 patented claims
with one shaft down 500 feet, Sew
eral drill holes have proved the prog

utter about 1900 feet Of churn drilling
and diamond drilling had been done
that the titles were perfected. The
surface has been leased to parties
who are permitted to work to only
a few feet In depth but the ore pre-
