rrom ISTo. 5 to JN’o. 6 level, a depth of 100 ft., the reef continued in 
the shaft. Good specimens are reported to have been obtained in sinking, 
but no driving has been done on the line. At the JSTo. 6 level (731 ft.) 
the reef is 6 in. wide. 
Maetin^s Reef. 
This is a small laminated reef, about 8 in. wide, west of the Golden 
Bar reef. It is 15 ft. west of the shaft in the Ho. 1 cross-cut, 30 ft. 
west at Ho. 2, and 20 ft. west at Ho. 3. It does not show in the Ho. 
5 cross-cut, hut appears to turn flat to the west at the Ho. 3 level, and 
probably joins the Ho. 1 reef. At the Ho. 1 level there is a drive 35 ft. 
in length on this reef. At the Ho. 2 level it prospects about 15 dwt. 
per ton, but where intersected it is too small to be payable. The stone 
is laminated, and has a favorable appearance. If this reef increases 
in width it may carry a payable shoot. 
The Ho. 1 or Higgins^ Reef. 
This reef, which outcrops 200 ft. west of the Golden Bar reef, has 
been the mainstay of the present company. On the surface it averages 
2 ft. wide and dips 85° east. Two main shoots have been worked on 
the surface—one 100 ft. long, just south of the main shaft, and the 
other, about 150 ft. long, to the northern boundary of the lease. The 
first-mentioned shoot was worked to a depth of about 100 ft. from a whip 
shaft. The continuation of this shoot has been worked by the present 
company with payable results down to the Ho. 3 level at 423 ft., the 
shoot being 300 ft. long. Over the Ho. 1 level the reef was displaced 
by a slide pitching south; a similar slide displaced the reef over Ho. 2 
level. 
The continuation of the shoot worked on the surface to the north 
boundary of the lease has been worked over the Ho. 3 level for a length 
of 170 ft. with payable results. Seventy-five feet above the level the 
reef was cut off by a slide pitching north. This slide is probably the 
same as that near the cross-cut at Ho. 3 level, the pitch altering from 
north to south. 
In the Golden Bar Extended Company’s ground this slide was 
proved to displace the reef about 40 ft. The reef above the slide has 
not been tested by the Golden Bar Company. The shoot on the surface 
was 170 ft. long to the boundary of the lease, and is said to have been 
worked to a depth of 150 ft. This would leave a depth of 100 ft. from 
the old stopes to the slide. This portion of the reef should be tested 
by a rise from the Ho. 3 level. Below the Ho. 3 level at 423 ft. the Ho. 
1 reef is poor. At Ho. 5 level (621 ft.) a drive goes north to the lease 
boundary. Two rises have been put up connecting these levels—one 
220 ft. north of the shaft, and the other 100 ft. from the north boundary 
of the lease; these are now known as Chancellor’s and the Ho. 2 winze 
respectively. 
At the Ho. 5 level a slide pitching south was cut 400 ft. north 
of the shaft, and the drive from this point to the boundary is on this 
slide. In the face of the drive the slide appears to be pitching north. 
At the Ho. 6 level (731 ft.) this slide was cut in the west cross-cut at 
110 ft. from the shaft. The Ho. 1 reef went underfoot below the slide.
