In the event that we do not strike tins seconoarv zone of enriched en-riched ore we will have at any iate developed de-veloped a larpe amount of low-crade ore which will be valuable milliter ore. In the 6"0 stone at the Ludwic we are still mining about the same tirade of ore as renorted In our previous letter. We have connc ted the 7'- stop with a raise from the S"0 and are now drlftMi-r north and south on ore that will run a bout fi per cent. This is practically all new ground ami we ha ce not determined the extent of our hlyh-jrrade deposits. We are dointr development work on the 3") and 4 foot lp Hs on stna 11 streaks oT hfph-prade- ore, which In former times have been very productive. The forty level Is still producing the usual tonnage of hich-grade ore. These deposits are Irregular, but from appearances we will be able to maintain tlie present rate of production.
