probably a couple of weeks to get GU
the forty feet Of mud and debris at tn,
bottom. Considerable repairing also
has to be done to the timbering of The
shaft. The new building over the boil
ers is completed, aud n new carpenter
shop, % by by 40 feet square, with l;
feet posts, is nearly finished. The Yolc
tunnel, in the surface workings of the
north mine, yields about so tons Of ore
per day. The south mine yields about
$50 tons per day, from the two lower
levels. A winze connection flom the
90O-foot level to the 500 of the Kentuck
will be completed to-day, giving an in
creased circulation Of good air in both
mines. The 7o0-foot level is still tight
ly closed, as from the gas leaking u it
is fully evident that the fire still burns
there and in the two mines south. This
fire is evidently above the 700.foot level
between there and the surface. 1t
may burn for months yet, but that will
make little or no difference, as the mine

di,ion, regardless of the upper legels'
A splendid new boiler is being put in
at the hosting works to take the place
Of the one formerly belonging to the

VIRGINIA CONSOLIDATED.
The new shaft is ell feet deep to-day,
very substantially timbered from top to
bottom, and thus far is as fire and work
manlike n job Of the kind MS ever was
done in this section of country, very
c~reditable to the contractors. The eS-
cavated material from the SHAFT is hoist
ed to the level Of the Latrobe tunnel,
1873 feet from the surface, and sent out
through it to the damp, $500 feet dis
tant. They will have their new steam
hosting works completed and started
into full operation the first Of next
week.
HENTUcK.
Running the Sunderland aud Pioneer
mills on ore from the upper levels, as
usual. The winze connection between
the soO-foot level of this mine and the
0OO-foot level Of the yellow Jacket will
be completed this evening. 1t is ut the
south line of the Yellow Jacket and i:
100 feet in length. This will not only
give q good and much needed circula'
ton Of air at that point, but also opens
out q way to extract large amounts OF
good pay ore known to exist in the
lower portion of the Kentuck.

month will be made next Monday, and
from the quality Of the ore run, it bids
fair to come fully up to the satisfactory
yield heretofore realized. Tho third
monthly dividend Of so cents per share
on the new stock issue was declared last
Saturday, aggregating $500. Every
thing in and about the mill and mine is
progressing finely and under good man
agement.
iNPERIAL.ENPrRE.
Ii will take three or four weeks longer
to complete the repairs to the shaft.
Meanwhile, neither sinking nor drifting
at the lower levels can be done. The
old Imperial mine yields about 80 tons
of ore per day, and Mr.. Terrill, the new
foreman, estimates that there is enough
yet in the mine to last for six months
longer Mt least. The Empire yields
about 80 ton per day.
OCCIDENTAL.
The new lower tunnel is being driven
ahead at the rate of over two feet a day.
The rock, which has been Of II very
hard, intractable nature, shows q deci-
ded improvement at the present time.
The mine itself keeps up its regular
yield month by month, not only paying
its way, but also for all prospecting
work, improvements, etc., never requir-
ing any assessments.
CROWN PoIST.
Nothing new or interesting to report,
except that the heavy hody of water
struck at the l~,l00-foot level has
very materially decreased. The assess.
ment of So per share, levied on the
9Th, aggregates c $1,000. The last as
sesment called for by this company was
levied December Is, 1868, and amount
ed to 800, 900. No dividend has been
paid since September Of last year.

The extensive body Of ore developed
ut the 4oO.foot level is nearly GO feet

and hight as it is followed. The mine
Yields about Is tons per day, but this
amount will be largely increased shortly,
additional milling facilities being
already demanded.

stockholders will be held in Virginia on
Tuesday, September 18th, to decide
upon n proposition to increase the capt

shares OF $500 each to 1900 shares Of

Average yield u little over zoo tons
per day, principally from the Blue Wing
stopc, and assaying over $50 per ton on
the average. An excellent body Of ore
is also developing in drifting south from
the New Tunnel level.
HALE 4 SoRcRoSs.
This mine keeps up its regular yield
of about 100 tons per day, principally
from the fourth station level. Some oil
the upper levels yield u fair amount oil
good ore. The repairs to the shaft are
still progressing.
BELcHER.
The drift northeast from the lower
level to connect with the 900.foot level o
the Crown Point is progressing admir-
ably, and the mine generally bears al
improved appearance.
