Morrison, tho mining wMTi engineer, reports as follows. As many jmSj) local people aro heavy stockholders, It Mtt 'IM bo of Interest : BflS "Tho uppor workings, or what 1b K known ab tunnel No. 1, runs east and ',ij north a dlstanco of about 1,300 fcot. A WJla wlnxo has boon sunk about 140 foct mtigi from tho end of thla tunnol to n depth SjE , of about sixty fcot, there bolng two M$ stops or benches In that dlstanco, and m nt tIint polnt tno vcln ls ncarlv vortl. &l cal.

This branch of tho tunnel Is In MT' tho direction of tho winze connected Hr,J from tho upper tunnol nbovo doscribed.

Ilj "Tho left hand tunnol or fork has mm been driven about 400 feet nnd Ib In mi Kill almost northerly direction, and Is v mm tho direction of tho flsauro commonly wj known as tho Empire llaBiire, as shown ku by tho work In this flBsuru on tho nur- J faco above.

Would Seek Depth. Wfik "-''As to the' furthor development work on thla property I would suggest sug-gest that tho lower tunnel, nt both forks, bo driven to n point which would Intercept the oro zono ns ahown above, and then ralao from that point, bollovlng this mothod will detonnlno the character property nt greater dopth, and I firmly bellovo that you will uncover bodies or oro In both branches or the tunnel, being tho two distinct fissures nbovo referred to. "Tho lower or third Assure referred to would be a matter for further consideration, con-sideration, nnd It Is posslblo that the two largor llsBures mny Intercept the smaller at a point near tho base of the mountain. "I would ndvlso that a survey be mnde of the property to determine the nearest point nt which these tunnels tun-nels should bo driven in order to establish es-tablish a point at which to rnlso from the tunnel. There Is also it possibility possibil-ity Hint ore mny tic Intern pted in either branch of this tunnucl ns ore chutes Indicate this. "Tho general condition of tho lower tunnel la good and tho character of (ho tunnel, with very little additional work, can bo made a permanent working work-ing tunnel. "It is also my opinion that thla property la well worth tbo development develop-ment contemplated, as I regard- the showing made by tho development thus fnr ns warranting It." |
