Work 011 tho Willie Hoy rnsscut will lo Urnt taken up. TIiIh tunnel Ih how in 4 HO feet and It Ih vHtlmatod will reach the Willie Hoy vein within tho next thirty or forty foot, which, when it roaclm tho ledge, will give a depth of over 1100 foot. TIiIh crosscut Ih being driven to pen etrate a pay shoot which assays on tho cropping above $4f to $'l'iR, 'The illHtaiico between thlH crosscut and tho point where the drift on the Standard vein croHHCtitH the Willie J ley vein, a little over H00 feet from ' tho Htaudard tunnel, there Ih already n drift, on this vein of about 100 feet! toward tho Willie Hoy crosscut.

All qf this development can be car ried on in ore with very little dead work.' It will. e seen that practi cally all of tho rock taken out In driving theso drift a on those veins will be ore and will be sufficient to keop a largo mill busy from simply tho dovolopment work without doing a foot of stonlmr. It is not tho In tention of tho management according to tho plans mado known to do any stopiug at all for a long tnio, per haps yoars, becauso it will be doing dovolopment work on so many differ ent veins and In so many different plftcos that tho ore product will amount to a largo tounago each day. It will"tie socn also that this method contemplates tho creation of such Im moiiHO pro reserves as will mako this ono of tho most valuable mining as sotH In tho country. HIiih a,ro bolng constructed to ro- colvo tho oro that will bo takon out in the dovolopmoiit work under way until a suitable milling and concen trating plant can be installed. Tho mauaegmout Ih not yot ready to givo any dotal Is iih to tho character or aizo of tho plant, though It was admitted that tho mill will bo of good slzo and thoroughly up-to-date. A largo com proHsor plant will probably also bo installed. Tho company is to bo commoudod for theso very conserva tive and yot doicdodly progressive plans and mothodH. ORE GETTING BETTER.
