with a little fluorite. The ore, however, assays 6 ounces per ton and is shipped as 
taken out. 
On level 11 No. 1 vein is not seen at the station, but appears 80 feet to the 
northwest. It is stoped for 500 feet up to the basalt dike, where both shoot and 
vein seem to be cut off. The stopes on No. 2 continue from above, 500 feet north- 
northwest of the shaft. A new vein called No. 3 here appears, 35 feet to the north¬ 
west of No. 2, diverging slightly northward. Excellent stopes have been opened 
on No. 3 at the northern boundary line, the shoot pitching steeply northward. 
No. 3 shows first 400 feet northwest of the shaft as an oxidized seam, 2 inches 
wide, often assaying 7 ounces per ton. The screenings of the drift run 31 ounces. 
It then widens and forms a shoot 180 feet long and up to 15 feet wide. The latlte- 
phonolite is fresh, but contains a little pyrite. No well-defined central seams are 
here visible, but there are irregular cracks, oxidized in places and trending in every 
direction, horizontal as well as vertical. 
On level 12 the shoot on No. 1 vein was very productive and extended from 
near the shaft up to the basaltic dike. Extremely rich ore was stoped from the 
Vindicator spur, beginning at a point 100 feet northwest of the shaft and continu¬ 
ing for 200 feet. From a dark-brown oxidized streak 1,500 pounds were here 
mined which contained $15,000. The stopes on No. 2 vein are small, but those 
on No. 3 are very extensive, reaching to the northern boundary line of the prop¬ 
erty, where the values are cut off by the same basic dike which affects the shoot 
on No. 1 vein. 
On level 13 the workings on No. 1 continue as before to the basic dike. The 
Vindicator spur is small. No. 2 vein carries a large stope up to the basic dike, but 
No. 3 vein is not known and, it is believed, joins No. 2 above the level. 
On level 14 the No. 1 shoot was 400 feet long and very rich. Some of the 
stopes are 28 feet wide. As on the upper levels, it is cut off by the dike at a point 
650 feet northwest of the shaft. The shoot descends below this level, but does not 
reach level 16, the deepest in the mine. Stopes on No. 2 vein, 500 feet north- 
northwest of the shaft, also descend to level 14. The vein has not been crosscut 
as yet on level 16. 
Some work was being done in 1904 by lessees on level 7 of Vindicator No. 2 
shaft, which is 12 feet above level 10 of No. 1 shaft and 625 feet below the surface. 
The veins worked here, 250 feet east of the shaft, correspond to No. 2 and No. 3 
veins, and are also known as the Wood and Campbell veins. These veins intersect 
the basic dike, and the values are said to stop against it on its west side, as they 
do on the east side in the lower levels. 
DETAILS OF WALLACE VEIN. 
The Wallace vein, together with several spurs near the surface, has been 
stoped for a horizontal distance of 200 or 300 feet from near the collar of shaft 
No. 2 down to level 13, the shoot pitching slightly northward. The vein appar¬ 
ently forms the extension of the Sigel vein in the'southern part of the property, 
but probably does not actually continue across. Branching off to the east from 
Wallace vein are several seams of less importance. On one, called No. 4, some
