The explorations in the ledge at the
lowest or 1000 and ~l,l00.foot levels
develop nothing in the way Of good ore
or very encouraging indications as yet
no ore continues to be yielded by the
niue, although plenty of the low grade
article exists in the west ledge at the
upper levels. From the leakage of gas
through the barbados the fire is still
considered to be burning in the upper
portion Of the east ledge, although the
7o0-foot level has been penetrated lately
to o considerable distance, showing that
the ere has extended upward above that
level.
SIERRA NEVADA.
The excellent body Of ore recently
developed in the car track tunnel in
creascs in both size aud quality as fur
Their developed, and the same may be
said Of that at the westerly end OF the
surface workings. Besides these two
good deposits, there is an unlimited
supply Of paying ore at other points.
The mill is steadily pounding away on
the second run of the month, which is
expected to turu out extra good at the
cleanup, which will be made next
Thursday. Monthly dividends come
regularly, and both mine and mill are
under the most efficient, economical and
productive management.

The yield from the upper levels shows
somewhat Of a falling off, but the breasts
throughout the fourth and fifth levels
show an improvement. The yield Of the
mine is about las tons per day. Ops-
ratisns in running the west drift from
the fifth level are somewhat impeded by
water at present; it has cut through the
west vein, showing q width of nearly
90 feet of good pay ore. The main
shaft is fully repaired throughout, and
in perfect working order, and the sink
ing 100 feet deeper for the ~l,l0o.foot
level is progressing satisfactorily.

This excellent mine, under the present
efficient management, is looking exceed

ton Of 500 tons of ore in the dump, but
as the Kelsey mill commenced running
on ore from this mine last Thursday
afternoon, that dump pile will soon be
reduced considerably.

Yielding about lis tons per day, prin-

good body developed recently in the
New Tunnel section, improves both in
quantity and quality, giving a material
addition to the yield of the mine. The
general assays of the mine average over
| $50 per ton. Work in the Grass Valley
section is suspended, the ore being Of
too low grade for profit.
oYERMAN.
The winze was completed last Thurs
day connecting the 400 and oo0-foot
levels, giving m excellent and much
needed circulation Of air to the 400,
where u body Of extra good ore is devel-
oped. About 25 tons Of $50 ore are
being daily yielded from the mine, prin'
cipally from the 5OO-foot level.

New shaft 335 feet deep this morning
and the bottom is in hard blasting rock,
therefore not quite so good progress is
made as formerly. Three shifts of men
are now being worked-thres men on a

OCCIDENTAL.
The new tunnel is progressing favor
ably in picking rock-a kind OF ledge
matter. The tunnel is now in between
LOO and 1900 feet, and will probably
have TO DO driven IS feet further before
striking the real lead. This distance
would about correspond with the sur
veys that have been made; however,
even the experts differ in opinion in
regard to the distance to the lead. Mr..
Bonuer-judging from the present indi.
cations-thinks it is still some $50 feet
to the true lead, though he calls the
stuff they are now drifting in ledge
matter. The tunnel is being run dag.
