" The kind of rock with its width between the quartz lodes, will be of the 

 greatest importance to us in our future work, as we will be able to estimate very 

 closely, what the cost will be to cross-cut from one lode to another. And another 

 important matter, is to be sure what will be reached by going in any given direc- 

 tion. It is uot known how many lodes are outside of those given above, as that 

 is the extent of the borings. I thought these enough to keep a mine running for 

 a great many years, so did not go to the expense of boring further. Another im- 

 portant thing, in connection with the geological examinations, is the fact that in 

 boring south, across the lode we were working, to see if it continued on, straight 

 east, it was found it had shifted south 21 feet at a point three hundred feet east 

 of the old Stuart shaft. This indicated a fault in the whole formation of the 

 country, so I changed the diamond drill and bored at an angle of 90 degrees with 

 the south boring and parallel with the lode, and strata, and discovered a quartz 

 lode three feet wide, about 52 feet from the point of beginning. The strata were 

 found to have been very much broken in the vicinity of this fault, showing the
