holes have been drilled on the twen-
ty, two Of which showed ore assay
ing between IL and IL per cent, one
80 per cent but the last hole is con-
sidered one of the greatest finds in
the field. A water course was found
in every one of the holes, in one of
which the drill dropped ten feet. A

neighborhood of the big strike and as
the depth is only a few feet it will
only be a matter of a few days when
it will be possible to learn what the
