intersection of the dyke by the quartz veins pitches northward, and the 
shaft was sunk to work this northern portion. Where the shaft cut the 
intersection, the quartz yielded about i oz. of gold per ton of quartz.

Alabama Dyke : Vertical Section 50 feet south of the Shaft. 
A flattish fault, which dips northward and is of the same class as the 
fault in the Star of the West mine, was met with about 70 feet above the 
tunnel level. 
Thirty-seven feet west from the Alabama reef is Polar’s Leader. This 
reef is about parallel to- the Alabama reef, and it has been worked by levels 
for 100 feet northward and for 100 feet southward of the tunnel, and 
stoped right to the surface (140 feet) as well as for 25 feet below the tunnel 
level. The pitch of the shoot is N. 20 deg. The lode cuts a dyke at the 
level. The quartz of this leader averaged about 1 ft. 8 in. thick. 
Further west 120 feet along the tunnel is Hughes’s reef, which runs from 
6 to 12 inches thick. It has been worked for 100 feet north of the tunnel
