Of the capital advance 130 feet were in ore, as were 69 feet of the operating development. Number 1 Shaft was sunk 30 feet. The 2260 Crosscut East was advanced 50 feet and was stopped. Drifting will be started when the ventilation improves. The 21242 Drift South has been stopped and a service raise is being run to 2000 level. The raise is on the No. 2 Vein, which is 1 foot wide and runs in average ore. The 20262 No. 1 and No. 2 were advanced 13 and 22 feet on the No. 2 Vein, which is 1 and 1.2 feet wide respectively and runs in slightly less than average ore. The 18270 No. 1 Drift North was advanced 19 feet on the vein which has widened to 2 feet, with ore assaying an average grade. The 1850 Crosscut East cut the No. 4 Vein, which is 1.5 feet wide and runs approximately average. This is encouraging on the 1800, as values were not encountered in the No. 4 Vein on 1700.
