AT the sixtyiaihom level and near the bottom OF No
shaft we have rnass Of about 80 tuns now in pro-
Qrss al cuttn0up The last II feet Of driving here Is
uncovering another mass, about two feet thick, AMI
dripping east. This shaft is now IN readiness Tor snS-

10 the 20. and preparing TO sink TO the 81 west o
this shaft j. good stopping ground Tn the east II Is
connected with No shaft and this block OF ground
coed for mass and barrel work. We are now cutting
mass IN this drift ofabout 10 tuns, with several other
smaller masses. No. shaft Is sunk 10 the ninety
fatbcn level carving all through good vein and IN
drifting both east and west, the vein Is as rch "a IN
sinking Wet of No. 1, Al the 80 Is good Stopping

very rich One mass s cutting At this point OF
about 60 tuns and 10 all there cannot be less than lVo

good prospects. No. | shaft is down to the go and
The diifts from both east and west are producing
small masses and barfework. No. shait II also NJ

In the sixty -fathorn level, east of No. s. we are
opening good stopping ground. In the NIFTY -iathom,
east of No no. the ground Is soft Tor drifting ana rch
corner. The tweuty-falhom, east OF Nc 10. Is con-
uected with No. Q shaft, and ope's good block oil

about go feet and considerable Stopping had been done
nj this point with good success. The eastern part OF

No shaft has heretofore been kept clear 10y horse

No. engine.
Tie conglomerate workings between Nos. 4 and
shafts are Welding we'll about % tuns beng taken
from this point during the last month.
These statements show decided improvement IN
the underground appearances since my last report;
and ms we are now getting good VEN, With hand
some show of mass copper at many different points
in the nine We can hardly fail to increase our future
production.
RocKLASD MINE.--Herewitb hand yOu return for
October Al tuns. This mine continues 10 show well
for CONFER We have a fair vein in the foriy-iahom
level which ia opened some 200 feet in extent, not
more than one bird Of which yet stopped out. No.
Shaft Is down 20 the fits -iahon level and IL now
preparnQ for drifngn sinking tho last ill., the vein
i promising showing MAS copper. No. shan - Do
Il below the forty-fathom level and the vein TO that
eLh is rich and productive. No. shaft - also below
the forty .fathom level and improves in sinking. We
shouid lave mad larger return from the stamps this
month bu, the breaking of the axle, heretofore r.
potted soueN hat delayed us-all is now, however, IN
good working order, and we shall run them during the
| entire Winter.
| SUPERIOR MlSE.-1he vein at this mine has i'm
proved somewhat since my last adyices, having more
barrel work and fine stamp lodeit IL some twenty
inches thick M the end OF level carrying sheet copper
of considerable size. The work being carried on at
cOmparatyely small expense and we expect still FUR
tber IMPROVEMENT during the winter as We get further
west aud more in the settled rock 0fthe bluff. Copper
