The country Is of a good description. The Exrtiange re«f Is> Improving. During the week about 14Jbs of picked stone were selected, and the general quartz showed gold freely. The reef at present ls of a I rnbbly nature which renders It Impossible for the lode to be stripped for any length as It breaks away nearly every shot. The I drive is In 1155 ft from the low level cross- I cut. The qnartz won from No. 0 level contlnnes to show gold, and Us of a fair grade.
