which, however, may be 100 feet or
more distant. The good ore body re-
| Gently found ut the south line Of the
Sides ground Is looking better a flevel-

to extend to the surface, a distance Of
$50 feet. The best Of it Is being sacked
up and taken out through the old Sides
tunnel. 10 aE
BELCIIER.
Daily yield, 20 tons; average assay,
$37. The main source of supply Is
from 152 foot level aud above 1t. A
good body is also developed about GO
feet above the 262-foot level In drifting
south. It assays well and Is eight feet
thick. FROM this level the dri6 north
has Yeaohed the Wine near the Crown
Point line and preparations are being
made to extract ore through It. Pros
pecting ut the 730-foot level develops
nothing, and Is discontinued temporsl-
rily at present.
SACRAMENTO AND MEREDITH.
The new mill has not got to running
steadily rs yet, owing to IN unexpected
deficiency In the water supply, but 1t
will be all right shortly. The ore
supply from the mine Is all that could
be desired. and we shall he able TO
give n better and more definite report

Still drifting north ut the 500-toot
level. The face of the drift shows
porphyry, quartz and clay. mixed
no ore. The winze from the bottom of
the shaft will be cleaned out and re-
paired properly down to the lowest. or
1,400-foot level tonight. They pro-
pose to resume prospecting at that

CHoLLAR-PoTosI. -H,r
Daily yield, l65 tons, assays aver
aging about $50. The north portion Of
the mine, in the Belvidere section and
thereabouts, continues to improve.
The ore bids fair to extend considera-
bly, below the old Potosi level. The
other ore-producing sections show no
particular change.
CROWN POINT.
The old upper workings. still coll
tue to yield about G5 tons per day Of
low grade ore, which is being shipped
by railroad to mills OH Carson river.
The incline from the l,000-toot station
of the shaft is being sunk ut Il Satistac-
tory rate, and IS feet further will curry
it to the 1,l00-foot level.
GOULD & CURRY.
Daily yield. 60 tons, asSaying $40 per
ton OH the average. Nothing new de-
veloped since III last report, the ore
sections showing no material change.
Nothing encouraging found ut the
lowest level, although prospecting is
still energetically conducted at that
point.
HOPE.
This excellent mine, ut Silver City.
still continues its satisfactory produc-
ton. The daily ore yield is from 30
to 35 tons of $50 ore, keeping both
mills of the company steadily running.
A very fine body Of ore Is developed
at the lowest level, 200 feet southwest
Of the incline.
Wv f.tNhNNs 1
About the same As at our last report,
except that the ore shows some I'M
provement, and some small spots Of Il
pretty rich article are found. Daily
yield. about 100 tons. from the 226
and 5OO-foot levels. No prospecting
ut the lower levels.
Nothing new developed. and no
ledge yet encountered ut the lowest
level. The southwest drift Is not in
quite. far enough Is yet, but the pros
poets are good for its ultimately find
ing ore.
DANEY.
The east portion of the mine shows
Improvement, and the west breast
looks well. bidding fair to yield u large
amount of ore. What ore is produced
OH the dump will mill $lS per tom.
BOWERS.
Work wis started up In the old Bow
ers mine, in Gold Hill proper, during
the past week, under 4 contract to en-
tract the surface ore, the contract cX-
tending to the G00-foot level.
sIERRA NEVADA.
The east body still continues to yield
the main ore supply for the mill, which
is running steadily, rs usual. Those
surface deposits bid fair never to give
out.
HESrUCK.
Yielding about IS tons OF ore per
day. Nothing new continues to be
developed in this mine, except a lesser
quantity Of ore.
