It is Much More Valu- able Now Than When We Placed the First Allotment on the Market Some Two Months Ago. CONSTANT DEVELOPMENT AND 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 tho ledge. In this crosscut we have opened up a body of ore sixteen feet in width caryiug good commercial values. In speaking of commercial Taluos wo moan ores which have a sufficient value to pay for the extraction, milling and all othor incidental expenses thereto, with enough of a margin left over to pay good dividends to tho stock holders. This largo body of oro was uot in tho naturo of a sur plse, wo simply expected it, as tho surface developments showed this same largo body of oro, and thoro was no reason why it should not bo oncouutorod in this crosscut and at this depth. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Wo uro uow turning to drift on tho lodgo to tho west from tho crosscut in order that wo may open up tho richer ores at a grcutor depth which nro found on tho surfuco throughout tho Miumockbiirii claim.

It will demonstrate that tho Highlnud will rank us ono of tho largest producers in the district.
