that depth a level was driven north for about 70 feet. From the shaft to 
25 feet north., the reef was stoped to a height of from 10 feet to 20 feet above 
the level, the returns proving payable. As the reef has a northerly pitch, two 
winzes were sunt on it, one at 30 feet north of the shaft, the other at the end 
of the level. In the first, the shoot was picked up at a depth of 25 feet. Front 
the bottom of this winze, according to the manager, an inclined drive ( which 
is now inaccessible) follows the reef on its pitch to a point between 90 and 100 
feet from the shaft. Three crushings were taken from the winze and drive, 
the first yielding 3 dwt. per ton. the next 6 dwt. 6 gr. per ton. and the last 
IkJ dwt. per ton. There is now stacked on the surface about 12 tons of quartz, 
which, it is estimated, will yield 1 oz. per ton.

The average dip is 70° W. The reef varies in width between 2 inches and

No. 1 winze.
