"On tho Midway," said Mr. Kerr, "below the 800 level wo are following fol-lowing a contact on tho edge of one of these daclte tongues, and with greater depth it seems favorable that tho ore will improve in value. At tho first station, 100 feet below thn 800 level, tho adjoining adjoin-ing quartz body will b prospected, bilt this will not interfere with the continuous continu-ous sinking. At another 100 feet prospecting pros-pecting will bo again continued, and it is hoped to obtain higher values by this work.
