B. C. SILVER PROGRESS REPORT
The report records 365 feet of drifting and raising for the month, approximately 120 tons of ore sacked for shipment, a new and enlarged assay office, a change house and work begun on a fuel oil tank and a central heating plant, while a later cablegram from Vancouver reports an encouraging zone 10 feet wide on the north side of the dyke with values to date low and sinking commenced.
An August report of development progress, issued by the head office of the Selukwe Company in London.
The August report of development progress on the B. C. Silver issued by the head office of the Selukwe Company in London, provides the following data, which confirms in all important respects the reports published by the Herald at earlier periods.
The report says: "No. 3 level: Drift 334 was advanced 110 ft. and 80 ft. of crosscut was done. On August 5 it passed out of the granite dyke and into favorable porphyry on the northern side of the dyke. Cross cutting located a heavy silicified area. It is too early to say whether this is the continuation of the ore channel or not. In July report a 20-ft. cross cut had located part of "C" ore body in drift 334. This ore averages from 40 to 50 ft. in length, and over a width of 20 ft., it averages $27. The crosscut has been continued a further 20 ft. to connect with Drift 336 on "D" ore body, and this last 20 ft. averages about between $3 and $4 a ton. It would appear that "C" and "D" ore bodes came together at this point, giving a total width of 60 feet of milling ore.
Drift 331: In preparation for diamond drilling the extension of the vein system in the direction of the Premier a further 100 ft. of crosscutting was done, and a diamond drilling station was put in. No. 3 intermediate level (50 ft. below No. 3 level) : The raise was continued a further 15 ft. - up to No. 3 level - in $100 ore, and some high grade ore was stoped in this area.
General: A total of 365 ft. of drifting and raising was done during the month. Approximately 120 tons of $100 ore was sacked for shipment. A new and enlarged assay office has been built, and a modern change house for the miners was completed. A commencement was made on the installation of a 60,000 gallon fuel oil tank and on a central heating plant for the camp.
Cablegram, Vancouver, September 17: Drift 334 has encountered encouraging zone 10 ft. wide on north side of dyke; values to date are low. Have commenced sinking.
Office Note: - the work sinking refers to winze No. 352 for the purpose of opening 4th level 150 feet below No. 3 in "C" ore body."
