  eastward, 
  1 
  was 
  inclined 
  to 
  believe 
  before 
  seeing 
  the 
  record 
  of 
  the 
  

   Dawson 
  shaft 
  that 
  the 
  seam 
  they 
  were 
  working 
  was 
  No. 
  6, 
  and 
  that 
  

   No. 
  5 
  was 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  some 
  thirty 
  or 
  forty 
  feet 
  below. 
  But 
  on 
  

   comparing 
  the 
  record 
  of 
  the 
  shaft 
  at 
  Dawson 
  with 
  that 
  at 
  Kiverton, 
  

   I 
  am 
  convinced 
  they 
  are 
  both 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  seam, 
  though 
  the 
  dip 
  

   between 
  these 
  points 
  is 
  scarcely 
  more 
  than 
  one 
  foot 
  to 
  the 
  mile, 
  

   while 
  from 
  the 
  western 
  outcrop 
  of 
  No. 
  5 
  to 
  Eiverton 
  it 
  averages 
  

   about 
  seven 
  feet. 
  From 
  Dawson 
  to 
  Niantic 
  it 
  averages 
  nearly 
  the 
  

   same, 
  while 
  from 
  Niantic 
  to 
  Decatur 
  it 
  increases 
  to 
  at 
  least 
  twelve 
  

   or 
  fourteen 
  feet 
  to 
  the 
  mile.
