IViALONEY CROSS-VEIN. Next to Chance, this is the most extensively developed vein on the property. It runs in a north- - esterly and southeasterly direction across the Chance; Anchor and Anchor No. 2 claims, for a distance of 0o feet and intersects the Chance vein at a point about t 50 feet. north of the main shaft. It was dis- y~e vered by R. M. Maloney a few months prior to to the expiration of his lease on May 1st, 1896, and doped en A h nsequently a very small amount of ore was stoped by him. Very little prospecting has been done on this oug to Bete nnme in to the west of the Chance vein, but to the east, it has been explored at the third level. (2t8 feet om the surface), for a distance of 325 feet, showing a continuous ore chute as far as developed., No e from this vein has been stoped below this third level, which is 6o feet above the main first level. ' `` At a -point where it intersects the Chance vein at the first level, a drift was started and run on e vein to the southeast, a distance of 364 feet, showing good values, both in the roof and foot, the ' February 7891 I tire length of the drift. At the second or 35o-foot level, another drift was run on the vein to the , . t ma Anchor and Anchor No p utheast, a distance of 242 feet. The ore found here was of a low grade, however. It was again , , as worked by five t 'peed xt the fourth, or. 500-foot level, and drifted on to the southeast, 120 feet. The vein filling here se s ut also of a low grade, averaging from S8.oo to 575.00. ` It is estimated that only one-third of the ore above the first level has been stoped. This is a re- ce that time developmrn " arkable showing, when it is remembered that this vein has been worked steadily for more than a year, t adepth of 278 feet and , td that the bulk of the output, for the past twelve months, has come from this stope.
