11 !, <br />Through shafts we are opening up the 1,750 Level, and up to this date have undercut <br />shout 300 ft. of milling ore., some of which is high grade. <br />The most encouraging feature of the year's work in this group is the result of our <br />development work in and from No. 123 P,aise in the Fraction Claim. This raise is intended as <br />a base fm• future operations in the upper portion of the 3line• For several months past the ore <br />found in this raise, and the levels driven from it, has been of good grade, and we are hopeful of <br />finding a continuous body of good ore to the surface workings of the P.ed Cloud Claim, which <br />are '1,000 ft. above our main levels. <br />For the proper development of this property, we are now engaged in installing a new <br />air compressor, which will be need in connection with our present large compressor in the <br />Tomboy engine room. <br />As soon as this work is done we will proceed to enlarge the Cincinnati Shaft, making it <br />a three-compartment shaft; and when enlarged to the 1,750 Level, will proceed with shaft <br />sinking. For this purpose we are well supplied with hoisting engines, and have in readiness a <br />pair of small air compressors, whose work will be limited to shaft sinking and drifting in the, <br />vicinity of the shaft. <br />TriE MOUNTA[N Gft1EF. <br />`Phis claim, which contains the western extension of the Tomboy-Belmont Srein, was <br />acquired by purchase on June 10th. Development work was commenced immediately on <br />obtaining possession. Considerable ore of a milling grade has already been opened up, and I <br />consider the prospects for finding a Mine on this claim as most encouraging. <br />TI[E ELDORADO AND COLUMBIA-MENONA GROUPS. <br />Vi'e surrendered our options on these three properties at the beginning of the winter <br />Some good ore was found, but not in sufficieni quantities to warrant their purchase. <br />MINE DEVELOPMENT WORK. <br />Car development work for the year is shown in the following statement :- <br /> Drifts.
