Samples and check samples from along entire side of dump where ore is being dumped from full width of vein yields, this result. Stringer? of quartz could be seen in the shaft and in the sta- tion. The crosscut continued through this conditionfor 19 feet at which point it broke into the-vein. Since the above information on the 15 foot vein width further word has been received that the crosscut is being continued and at 40 feet from the shaft was still in good looking vein matter.

A telegram received from H. L.' Donaldson, May 16th states: "Crosscut 19 feet south at first level just broke into north/side vein Number s. Very heavily mineralized and plastered with free gold.

The grammar is often a little loose - deliberately so - for often the persons are not grammatk cal persons. They might not be very entertaining it they were. .
