<br />CHANCE VEIN
<br /> .
<br /> 'this vein was discovered and opened up by leasers during the month of February, 7891. It ma
<br />_ in a northeasterl}' and southwesterly direction, and extends across the Chance, Anchor and Anchor No
<br />p
<br />j ,
<br />claims for a distance of 700 feet. Up to the ]st of May, ]896, this vein was worked by five sets ut
<br />i leaser, and up to that time produced a little over 5200,000.00.
<br /> On ,Yiay ast, 1896, these leases al] reverted to the company, and since that time developmrn;
<br /> wort: has been steadily pushed forward. A station was cut in the main shaft at a depth of 278 feet ani
<br /> a cross-cut driven west to the vein. From this point a drift was run on to the vein to the norlhem
<br />
<br />I boundery line.
<br />r!, No stoping has been done, either by leasers, or on the part- of the company below this first level.
<br />'" By refering to the accompanying maps, it will he seen that only about one-third of the vein above this
<br />~,[ level has been stoped. During February of this year, an uprise was started on the vein, about li fer
<br />``~'
<br />1. from the northern boundary line and extended up 70 feet, where a cross-cut was driven about 6 feet into
<br /> the foot wall, revealing from 2 io i feet of very good ore. Although only one month's stoping has her,
<br /> done here, 200 tons of 7-ounce ore have been marketed, besides 2,230 pounds of ore averaging 5;,ooG.a
<br /> per ton. The vein at this point flattens out to the west and the stope has been carried up high enough
<br /> to demonstrate the fact that what is called the "Old' Glory" vein, is really the apex of the Chance vein.
<br />
<br />~~> and the reason that none of the leasers found ore, until a depth of one hundred feet or more, was reached,
<br />i5-- was because they sunk almost vertical shafts, and did not cut the main vein anti] a point was reachz<
<br /> about where ii straightened up. It will be seen from the above that the chances for large ore bodies about
<br />1 the first level are very good. At the second or 3io-foot level, a drift has been run south on the vain
<br /> a distance of 68 feet, revealing fair bodies of smelting ore. The drift to the north, at this level, is iii
<br /> feet long and shows large bodies of ore running from 510 to 530 per ton.
<br /> The vein was cut again at the third station, by a cross-cut to the west. Only low-grade ore seas
<br />4 found here, and no drifting was done on the vein in either direction.
<br /> At the fourth, or io0-foot station, the vein was cut within a few feet of the shaft and was dnhtd
<br /> on to the north a distance of 1'39 fPPt Tr,a a,<t an too. ,.c a:_ ., :L. _~_-_._~ .. ~__. _~ ___ _..__:_.

<br />from 2 to 9 ounce=_. The rest of the vein showed low-grade ore.
<br /> The lowest point at which the vein has been cut was when it crossed the shaft between tht
<br /> fourth and fifth stations. At the seventh station across-cut was started for the vein, but on account o
<br /> the large flow of water, it was not reached. Work will be started here again as soon as larger pumps
<br /> are put in place to handle the water.
