Go., but that the property is now a real
nhiine. The yein is one of the few. true
fisures. It-hes been consistent and a
zrent depth can be had at compara-
tively small cost. The “work ~ being
done by the company has fully. jus-
tifeid itself and also justifies all the
turther Plans the nunagement has pre-
pared.

On the No. 2 tunnel the arills hare
recently gone through forty feet of
solid, high grade ore that is two feet
wide. The face of the tunnel was in
. solid ore when the above was reported.
This is the largest shoot’ yet encoun.
tered and it is cause for much satis-
faction, ._It is well known that the
“ynlues of Silver. Cup ore are exception:
ally high, and they have been :very
consistent with depth.

Work was resumed on the No. 8 tun-
nel to get under the big shoot of ore

on. the No, 2. There was originally
a hundred feet to drive, but long before
the objective was achieved the ore was
encountered, at first a good“ grade of
milling ore. This'ore was improving
with. each, round ‘of holes ‘and the sup-
erintendant was ‘looking for the high
grade to show up at any time. This
would give a very much longer. shoot
than what was shown in the No. 2. No
3 tunnel.gives an additional _ depth of
'100 feet.

Assay returns on the above shoot of
rich ore give 275 ozs, of silver and: 63
per cent lead or about $300.00 ore,

Up to-date nine car loads ‘of ore have

heen sent to the smelter and, while
hauling has been temporarily suspend-
ed on account of the condition of the
wagon road, the bins at the upper end
of the road are being filled and much
high grade is being sacked, so that ar
soon as the roads ave pasable the ship- |
ments will be doubled up. -
Three shifts are working on three
machines and besides the tunnel worl:
stopes are being raised from both the
No. 2 and the No. 3 tunnels.
