A H efi winzo has boon sunk about 140 feet mm fi from tho end of thla tunnel to a depth w Ib ' a')0Ut sixty feet, tberu being two m 18 1 steps or benchea In that distance, and fjg Ja at that point tho vein Is nearly vertl. 51$ RJ cal, I find thero n wide flssuie cou- Hm , mi talnlug some oro and n great deal of m k oxidized Iron or a leached condition, IM M' "Tho lower tunnel, which Is about Vm R 4CS feet lower than tho upper tunnel.

R j r ' Would Seek Deplli. l ' ''As to the further developgient work on this property I would suggest sug-gest that the lower tunnel, nt both forks, bo driven to n point which would Intercept the oro zono ns shown obovo, nnd thon raise from that point, bollovlng this method will determine the character property nt greater depth, and I firmly believe that you will uncover bodies of oro In both branches of tho tunnel, being tho two distinct llBsures nbovo referred to. "The lower or third flssuro referred to would bo n ninttcr for further consideration, con-sideration, nnd It Is posslblo that the two larger fissures may Intercept the smallor nt a point near tho bane of tho mountain. "I would advise that n survey be made of tho property to dotcrmlii" the neiireBt point at which these tin.-nels tin.-nels should bo driven In order to establish es-tablish a point nt which to raise from tho tunnel Thero is iiIbo a possibility possibil-ity that oro may bo iutcrciptiil In either branch of this tunnnel ns ore chutes Indicate thla. "Tho general condition of tho lower tunnel Is good and tho character of tho tunnel, with very little additional work, can bo mndo n permanent working work-ing tunnel. "It Ib also my opinion that this property Is well worth tbo development develop-ment contemplated, aB I regard the showing mndo by tho dovolopment thua fnr n warranting It." |
