Superintendent Lou Mcrrinian states that the development work that has been undor way for sonic littlo time on tho mine's 700 level, has just resulted in the opening of a largo body of quartz, containing some values. The vein was oucountered early in the week and at tho point where it was tapped by ihc drift it is fully ton feci in width," making mak-ing it one of tbo biggest bodies of quartz that has yet boen found in the deepest workings" of the property. The management has decided to not only drift on this voin but to develop the quartz to greater extent by moans of a raise. The dovolopmcnt of tho Beck tunnel vein is also being handled under very favorable conditions, and according to Mr. Mcrriman this prospecting is now opening a section of mineralized ground that is full of small caves and loose lis suring. Xothing of importance has yet been found, but thoro is not a more promising piece of dovolopmcnt work under way iu that particular soction of the district. Brooklyn Gets Vein.
