CAPS CUTS SHAFT
VEIN ON 500 LEVEL

White Caps officers are elated
over the prospect of coming into
very rich ore body when the
west drift enters the west ore body
which was found in the upper levels
to be extremely rich. The drift
is now in what is known as the
shaft vein which carried low values
around SO and sS in the upper levels.
On the 300 level the ledge gave
values Of SIS. $40 and s2O which
are so much better than what was
obtained higher up that the man
agement is confident that when
the west vein is cut in the next IL
feet the returns will be as rich IN
proportion as the different between
the values of the shaft vein on the
two levels. The west vein is ex-
pected to be reached about Thurs
day.

NEW YORK, April S.-The steam
tf Aztec, first armed American
vessel to sail from a port on this
side Of the Atlantis was sunk sun
day by a German submarine off an
Island near Brest, France. The
cable message from the American
consul at Brest to her owners, the
Oriental Navigation company, gave
10 inkling as to the fate OF her
essw. An Associated Press dispatch
from Paris, said. however, while
some Of the men on board the Aztec
were rescued, number of them
we're missing and probably had per-
Ished.
The Aztec under command of Cap.
tain Walter o'Brien. was manned by
crew OF 80. Seventeen of this
number, including the captain, were
American citizens.
The Aztec's owners believe she
mad no chance to fight because she
vas sunk at 9:15 p. m, In a heavy
yea. The vessel was armed with
1wo 5-lnch guns, one forward and
one AFT manned by naval gunners
under command OF a warrant Off
Ger.
IN expressing the fear that the
Sunners on the Aztec had no chance
70 show their skill, It was recalled
mat the Cunard liner Laconia was
sunk at night and that no submar-
ue was seen. although vigilant
watch was kept.
The Aztec, slow moving freight
" OF 1927 gross tonnage, steamed
uom New York for Havre March
a. with full cargo of foodstuffs
aau general supplies, valued at more
man 100000. She was due at
