A streak of high-grade silver-lead-copper ore worth more than $40 a ton is said to be visible in the roof of the drift for a distance of forty feet or more. In places it appears to be widening above the drift and the management believes the vein will expand into a number of large ore deposits before it reaches the surface, a distance of about 700 feet.
