Tho oro on tho 350 level, In my Judgment, cannot bo anything else but the came. "From tho point of discovery tho management man-agement lu-us at least 600 feet to lho east to drift before the big dlko is oncountercd, oncoun-tercd, beyond which Is still more drl fling fl-ing ground. I do not know whether or not this dlko will cause tho ore to stop, but there are lho 600 fcot anyway, with thu possibility of more. Then tho company com-pany has from 10QO to 1200 feot of the Eagle vein to explore, and there Is still a third vein which should bo productlvo which has not been operated on at all yet. Tho seventh level looks fine; In fact, the mine Is In splendid condition In every way." |
