<br />During the month of January, 1896, a working shaft of ample proportions for deep mining was started,
<br />and, at the time of your last annual meeting, it had reached a depth of 300 feet. During the year just
<br />closed, it has been put down an additional 440 feet, and cross-cuts made to the vein, at the various levels,
<br />besides a pumping station, which was cut at the sixth station. The following are the distances of the differ-
<br />ent stations from the surface:
<br />First station, 278 feet.
<br />Second sta#ion, 350 feet.
<br />Third station, 430 feet.
<br />Fourth station, 500 feet. •
<br />Fifth station, 582 feet.
<br />Sixth station, 655 feet.
<br />Seventh station, 725 feet.
<br />This shaft is of three compartments, each 4 x 4~ feet in the clear, and is built in a very substantial
<br />manner, being timbered with square sets of 10x10 timbers every five feet. It has been sunk in a solid
<br />formation, away from the vein, thus avoiding any chance of a cave-in. As an extra precaution, Stull
<br />plates, or cazriers, have been put in every fifty feet below the first `ation. It is estimated that the pres-
<br />sent hoisting plant is sufficiently large to sink main shaft to a depth of from twelve to fifteen hundred feet.
<br />VF.TNS,
<br />The following veins, within the boundaries of your property, are known to contain valuable ore
<br />bodies:
<br />The Chance vein-on Chance and Anchor claims.
<br />The Maloney cross-vein-on Chance and Anchor claims.
