winze is being sunk on an unusually
good prospect, 81 feet from the 81
ezra Nevada line, the ore is holding
up we'll and the bottom of the Wine
is all in pay ore. Some of the cars
taken out recently have shown val
ues averaging from $24 up to above
500 to the ton. A hoist is being
placed on the Wine, and develop
ments carried forward as rapidly as
possible. On the 2400 level the east
crosscut is encountering more quartz
this week and the outlook is most
encouraging, as the work is in q
large area of virgin ground. On
the $500 level prospects continue
good in the north drift, where ex-
cellent assays have been obtained.
