' RESULTS A crew of men have been kept constantly at work ever since we acquired this property and tho Glasgow crosscut has now encountered and fully crosscut the ledge. Iu this crosscut we have opened up a body of ore sixteen feet in width carying good commercial values. In speaking of commercial values wo mean ores which have a sufficient value to pay for tho extraction, milling and all other Incidental expenses thereto, with enough of a margin left over to pay good dividends to tho stock holders. This large body of ore was not in tho nature of a sur pise, wo simply expootod it, as tho surfaco developments showed this samo large body of ore,- and there was no reason why it should not bo encounterod in this crosscut and at this depth. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Wo are now turning to drift on tho lodge to tho west from tho crosscut in order that wo may opou up tho richer ores at a greater depth which aro fouud on tho surfaco throughout the Bauuockburu claim. This lino of development, wo bollove, will prove very interesting to all who aro interested, or may bocomo iu terestod, iu tho Highland mino as it will certainly opou up ore bodies rich in quality aud in largo quantities. It will demonstrate that tho Highland will rank as ouo of tho largest producers in tho district. From now ou the development work will bo compara tively easy and not very expensivo, as wo will bo drifting along on the lodge whoro tho grouud is much easier to work than iu tho country rock which encases tho voin. ... , Urn If you wish to secure any of this stock while it is selling at the low price you should send in your order," as. quick as possible.
