on only to and tho the a. a comparatively shallow depth fact tat that the ore has not been recognIzed recognized until now makes it 1 still more uncertain as to what direction the vein eln takes The Wendon Vendon Copper company's company compans s prop- prop adjoins the Critic on the north and Wand this has been opened to a a. a depth that makes it it almost impossible that the values should not have ha e been 1 if It the tho vein trends north and south I Into that ground Over the tho hill hi to the tho south lies les the ground of ot the Deseret Mining Development company compan which lias bas also been opened to a considerable depth without the occurrence of ot anything anything anything any any- thing resembling tho the Critic ore being noted These facts would seem to point to the vein running east and west paralleling par- par all el ing the well known American I Flag Ia vein of ot the Vindicator property to th the north and of ot which the Little Litte Giant was formerly a a part In whatever direction tho the vein may run there thero is little Itte doubt but that it I will wil be picked up in some ono one or more of ot tho the properties which adjoin the Critic and Is
