Drifts are being extended by the
Spearhead Gold Mining company at

the trend of the general formation.
On the 450-foOt level development
work is being carried on ar to the

within the vein. This cross-cut has
reached a point nearly east of the
face of the north drift driven by
the Jumbo Junior company, into
the ground leased from the Ke-
wanas, following the hanging wall
of the vein.
This situation is accounted for
by the presence of a fault of con-
siderable extent, the action of which
has resulted in throwing the south
ern segment of the vein far to the
west. This fault has lately been
exposed in the work of the Jumbo
Junior company. 1t is planned to
eventually connect the workings OF
the two companies here. which are
at approximately the same level,
thus affording desired ventilation
for the workings of both companies
and facilitating their operations in
important measure.
In the northern part of the Ke-
wanas property, about 500 feet
from the operating winze and at a
depth of $40 feet, ore of excellent
grade is now being broken in the
drift that extends south from the
east cross-cut.
Apparently there is a deposit
here of more than ordinary impor-
lance, as the ore has been exposed
ontinuOuslv for over 100 feet in
the drift, as well as by raises far
Their to the west. This ore-body
lies in the shale contact one and
in addition to the ore of shipping
grade, a large tonnage of good flo
tation ore has been placed in sight.
