The shaft now has a depth of about 700 feet and recently a large quartzite contact was cut which is said to be a very important change in the formation. John Manson, manager of the property, says that he feels confident that development work In the East Tin tie section will soon be In full- swing again and ihat his company Is going ta be due of the first to push work tolthumit. At present tha forth Standard Is installing a new pectrle motor, one which Is much larger and faster than the one now in use and which will be large enough .to carry the shaft down to any depth, and Just as soon as this la In place sinking operations will be pushed along with at 'least one more shift. It if the intention of Manager Manson to bring about twelve or fifteen of the largest shareholders of the company out to the property next Sunday lor the purpose of inspecting the mine and equipment and showing them what is being done In the development line and how their money is being spent. The visitors may also be taken over some of the other East Tintie properties during their stay in the district. Everyone realises that no property can be placed in the shipping list without assessments for development purposes and the North Standard Is no exception to the rule, but officials of the company feel that the assessment period of the mine will not be very lengthy. Development . - IgiiL - Gwcagin,- - off Water From Ruby Hill Shaft For Tintie Mill On. John W. Tgylor says that the shaft at the Central Standard of East Tin-ti- c, has now reached a depth of 645 feet and that fairly good program is being made with the sinking. There have been some delays owing to the fact that the porphyry formation, through which the upper part of the shaft was sunk, keeps breaking the shaft timbers but the Accessary repairs, are' qpickly ura inexpensively made, rat afar 100 feet the shaft has beenJMa promising lime formation wewthere has been no water since the lime was reached. The reservoir on the 400 level takes care of the water encountered above that point and from the reservoir It Is pumped to the surface where a part of It is used In the operation of the mine.
