feet II is now proposed to extend
this crosscut in a southwesterly di-
rection to the limits Of our property
approximately $500 feet, attaining O
depth of from 900 to 1000 feet.
Near the west end line of the Rol-
and claim a shallow tunnel has been
driven on vein carrying quartz and
iron. The vein filling is similar to the
vein filling of the original Callahan
vein at shallow depth Although
there are many other surface cuts
and shallow tunnels in this territory
no early prospecting was done. due
largely to the inaccessibiity of the
ground the heavy vegetation and the
depth of the overburden over practic-
I ally the entire area.
I'm many of the mines of this dis
trict there have been found produc-
tive veins, parallel TO the original
vein, which show very little outcrop.
In the Tamarack & Custer, Hecla
and Hercules properties parallel veins
have been developed at depth, which
have produced large tonnages of good
grade ore II is with the idea of pros
pecting a wide stretch of ground hith-
erto unexplored, for the purpose of
developing ore bodies in these parallel
veins. that this crosscut is being driv

Galena Mining Co.
After describing the location, ex-
tent and geological conditions of the
property Of the Galena Mining COM
pany, Mr. Newton says
THE ore occurs in two types of
veins the siderite vein and the ga
The siderte vein is the filling of
narrow but consistent fissure having
an easterly and westerly strike and a
dip of rs dgrees to the south. The
sheared zone along the fault has been
referred to as the galena vein. The
ore values are silver and lead occur
ring as galena, which replaces the
sheared quartzite. The gangue is
fractured quartzite and quartz. The
galena vein has been developed by
No. tunnel and the 100, 200 and 400
levels from the shaft.
"The 100 level: 1858 feet of work has
been done on the 100 level, 1873 feet
of which was drift east on the ore,
with ore still showing in the face.
"The 200 level: 9S9 feet of cross
cutting and drifting has been done
on the 200 level In this work ore was
to the east for a distance of
100 feet At the western end of the
shoot the ore was nearly ~ feet in
width and contained considerable
high grade galena, the value and
quantity decreasing to the east
THE 400 Level. 1868 feet of drifting
and prosecuting has been done on
the 400 level In the east drift lead

"The drift on the lead vein in No. 6

itions will permit more extensive
