suit in the same satisfactory show
ing.
ally good indications have been
encountered in 892 southeast cross
cut, which recently was sent out
from S32 east drift in an en-
deavor to pick up the extension of
the south vein on this level. The
past weeks work was marked
by the intersection of numerous
punches of quartz lying in the
Mizpah trachyte formation, some OF
which carried small values, and the
crosscut is being advanced as rapid
ly as possible in the hopes of cut
ting a profitable body of ore. East
drift S93 is going out from north
crosscut 8S4 on a small vein, which,
while only showing low values at
the present time, may at any time
develop into a worthwhile body of
ore. A slightly better showing has
developed in raise IL, which is 60
ing up from sol west drift on the
I'll vein, with the intention of ulti-
mately connecting the workings on
the two levels which are at present
developing this orebody. Last week
the vein was " feet in width,
and the present report states that
the vein has widened to 2 feet,
with the good values consistently
maintained. Raise IS, which was
started last week on the same
up from $50 east DRIFT, made about
the same rate Of progress as the
raise towards the west, and the only
change that occurred during the
week was in the matter of values,
the grade having shown a slight de-
crease since the last report was
issued, when the ore vas described
as being of good grade. At the pres
emit time the values found are
classed as medium. Another fault
has been encountered in 1888 east
drift from 866 north crosscut, since
the previous fault was solved and
the vein recovered. The drift was
continued for only about a week on
the vein after it had been picked
up, when the second fault inter-
vened. Crosscutting to the north
from the drift has been started for
the purpose of locating the faulted
segment, and it is not expected that
this work will take long. The for
nation through which the last
named crosscut is advancing at the
present time is West End rhyolitc
On the 9OO-foot level, the purpose
of southeast crosscut 99S, which
had been going out from $50 east
drift for the purpose of recovering
the faulted segment of the north
branch of the Rhyolite vein, was
accomplished during the week, and
the crosscut was turned into a
drift, designated as east drift 998,
for the purpose of developing the
vein beyond the fault. The show
ing, according to the present weeks
report, consists of a 1-foot face of
medium-grade ore. There has been
no change of any substantial nature
shown in 997 west drift from 956
north crosscut, the width of the
vein being about the same as men
toned in our previous issue, and
the same excellent values stated in
that report being consistently main
tanned. This small vein has moi as
yet been designated by any name or
number. A slightly better showing
is reported to have beer made in
994 west drift from 971 north cross
cut, the width of the Shoestring
vein, upon which this drift is max
ing the regular progress, having
widened from the 1-foot face re-
ported last week to 1k feet during
the past week. The values found
in the vein have not altered to any
great extent. The face of 995 south
west crosscut was projected the
usual distance during the week from
northwest crosscut 991, in pros
pecting for the faulted segment of
the Rescue vein, but as yet the pur-
pose of the crosscut has not been
accomplished. The crosscut is still
making progress in the %trachyte
formation.
On the intermediate level be-
tween the 900 and 1000-foot levels
only two of the lateral workings
were extended, both of them being
on the Favorite vein. An appreci-
able betterment, in the matter OF
width, has been developed in the
east drift from raise 81, the vein
having widened to 3 feet, as COM
pared with the 2k foot width
stated in the preceding weeks re-
port. On the other side of the vein.
however, the showing is not quite
so good as reported during the pre-
vious week, when the vein vas
