being also bad the workmsn could only
work a short time each. When com
pleted, this winze will only be used for
ventilation, and another sunk for ore
hosting purposes. The 900 foot level
drift is still! being continued north, with
plenty of good ore in the face.
OCCIDENTAL.
The face Of the lower tunnel still
promises well, aud good progress is
being made drifting. The old mine
never looked better, and keeps up its
regular good yield as usual. A general
survey of the mine is being made for
the first time, by competent engineers,
in order to determine the precise situa-
ton Of every part Of the mine, and
especially the relative position of the
lower tunnel, thus determining definitely
just how deep it cuts tho ledge, and
where it will be intersscted by WINES
from the old mine. The affairs of the
company are in a very prosperous con-
dition, and the mine under good man
agement.
VIRGINIA CONSOLIDATED.
The new shaft is 1913 feet deep to-day.
Our last report made it over 400 feet,
but this was a slight mistake. They
are making over two feet a day, although
the rock is considerably harder than it
was, but it blasts well. Everything is
opersting satisfactorily, and they have
laid in plenty of lumber, wood, ETC., for
the winter. Ross & Co., the contract
ors, have thus far prosecuted their con-
tract with the greatest energy, and done
their work in a thorough, workmanlike
manner /; 500 feet is the extent OF their
contract. An assessment Of 81 so per
share on the capital stock Of this mine
is jus. levied, delinquent on the s,h Of
December.
A considerable advance has taken
place in the stock of this niue, within
the pas, few days, based upon material
improvements which have taken place
in the south drift, A. the It'll level,
about 200 feet from the Hale i Nor.
cross north line. Thirty feet above
the track floor, in n WINE, they have
drif,ed north Is feet in u body OF ex-
cellent ore, over, 10 feet in width, aud
which will mill $33 per ton. The deep
er sinking of the shaft is progressing
satisfactorily {; the bottom Of it is In
barren white quartz.
LADY RYAN.
The station at the bottom OF the
shaft, l72 feet from tho surface, is COM
pleted, and the sinking Of The incline
| from it is commenced. The main south
drift at tho SO.foot level shows plenty
OF excellent pay ore in the south end,
where it is being breasted out 10 feet in
width, some of it soft picking rock,
the frs, yet found in the mine. The
WINE below that level, Is feet, shows a
continuation Of the same good ore. The
new mill is running we'll, as usual.
HALE L SoRcRoss.
Drifting both north and south is still
actively progressing at the 9th or LOO
foot level in the east wall of the ledge,
and several cross-cuts into the ledge
will be made simultaneously in about
six or eight days from now. 1t is
thought that plenty Of good ore will be
encountered. The upper levels are look
ing well, and the average yield Of the
mine ia at present about $50 tons OF ore
per day.
GOULD 4 CURRY.
A small stream Of water is encoun-
tered in the south drift, at the 18th
level, but neither in this nor the north
drift, at the Same level, are there any
more favorable indications found. The
old mine is yielding about the same as
last week.
c~HoLLAR.PoTosI.
Yielding about leo tons Of $40 ore
per day. The breasts and slopes Of the
Blue Wing section. are looking n little
better than last week.
KgSTUCK. |
Nothing new to report since our last,
except that some little improvement in
the ore is manifest from tho receipts.
The Crown Point remains the same.
ALPHA.
The drift north into the Alpha, from
the l,OsO-foot level Of the Imperial, is
now in 50 feet aud progressing well.
ovERNAN.
Yielding u little less than 100 tons OF
ore per day. No particular improve
meut to note since our last report.
