When work was started the tun- nel was in 304 feet and it Was expect- that the big high grade ore-shot which has been so‘consistant in the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 tunnels’ would be ‘picked ‘up in five feet. Jf expectntions are correct the Silver Cup will have about. five hundred feet of stoping ground. end the future of the mine as a shipper will be certain, The big shoot of ore 1s two- feet wide of high grade and in the three upper tunnels this high grade is par- arelled on each side by eighteen inches of- first class milling ore. In the No. 2 and No. 3 tunnels this shoot is now eighty-five feet long and still strong How much longer it i» only timie and - work will tell. Stoping has bken going on in the No. 3 tunnel only and this is for the pur- pose of keeping up shipments, An- other carioad of high grade goes. to the smelter this week. A shortage of Wi ater, ‘condition of the roads are the only things which are keeping the Sil- ver Cup from making: heavy shipments and both these difficulties will be ov- ‘jercome by nature as the spring advan- ces.
