It will be noticed how the rate of boring decreased when the 
drills left the soft shales, and entered the hard blue slate, and 
although not shown in the section, bands of quartzite were also 
met with. As seen by the record the cores would seem to show 
that the vein had feathered out into the shales or that the angle 
of dip was much more nearly vertical than at firstassumed. In 
support of this latter theory it must be stated that the cores 
showed the dip of the rock to be practically vertical throughout. 
The drill was now moved over to a position 12 feet to the 
north or actually on the hanging wall of the vein, and No. 3 
hole was commenced on Nov. 26th. It should be mentioned 
that Mr. Burnett (the Drill Company’s expert) left towards the 
end of October, and Mr. Phinney took charge of the drill on
