better than V and at the lowest
levels good bodies of ore are found,
continuing to an unknown depth. The
Akta says "The reports Of the Washoe
mines are, indeed, full of promise, az
ter struggling through n year in q
transition to a lower level. The indi-
cations are that richer ore will be
found on the lowest level, and more to
the west. The Hale & Norcross has
found rich ore below LOO feet. The
Imperial-E Empire, ut LOO, drifting
towards the Alpha, has found pay ore,
and the opinion is held by experts that
that depth will be productive for the
whole ledge" As we before stated.
the future Of our mines is pregnant
with cheering hope and bright promise,
and we have good reason to look for
ward in that respect at least, for a
"happy new year"

Water in new shaft about 200 feet
deep. and being slowly reduced by rea-
son Of the late earthquakes having
shaken open fresh sources of water.
The, heavy shocks Of last Sunday night
and also the n of night before last,
on each occasion caused the water to
increase and rapidly raise in both the
old and new works, despite the most
active and efficient pumping and bail
ing efforts to the contrary. They have
it all right again now, and win get it
pretty well reduced in the course o!
another week, unless more big earth
quake shocks interfere.
IMPERIAI-EMPTRE.
The little streak of good pay ore
found I'M drifting north toward the Al
pha is about q foot wide and yields
quite n quantity Of ore. They at
tempted to work upward on 1t by
means ola "raise," but We're prevent
ed by the extreme heat. The Alpha,
IMPERIAL, and Empire companies are
now working together in efiecting a
Wine communication between that
lower drift. and the bottom Of the old
Alpha incline. This will give excel
lent and much needed ventilation
throughout those lower levels.
HALE s NoRcRoss.
About 140 IONS per day being eS-
tracted. The great ore body at the
9th or lowest level is looking better
and better rs more of it is developed.
Wines sunk below that level show the
body TO continue at least 30 feet deeper,
They employ an additional mill now
to assist in the reduction Of ore. II
