being taken from the incline at the
335-foot level, near the Crown Point
line. The good streak held out we'll,
but at the depth of IS feet seems some
what disturbed and irregular, In fact
| seems to give out. The quartz
beneath, however, looks we'll and
shows spots Of good ore. The raise
above the 420-foot level is discontinued
OIL account Of foul air.
SAVAGE.
Daily yield 95 tons, principally from
between the eighth and ninth levels.
The old works also give a contribution
to this amount Of Is or 10 tons daily.
The connection Of the south drift at
the ninth or lowest level with the DRIFT
north from the seventh level of the
Hale & Norcross was completed four
or five days ago, aud owing to survey
ing Inaccuracies 1t was found to be
nine feet higher than the NorcrosS
daft. 1t is therefore being continued
further north. The connection, how
ever. affords good air circulation. and
when the drift reaches the Hale 4 Nor
cross mine it will be made available in
the cheap and advantageous extraction
of the ore at and above the ninth level
of the Savage mine. The main Savage
shaft is now sunk Sc feet below that
level. November receipts, $47,330.
HALE & NORCRoss.
Daily yield 40 tons, from the sew
enth level, with the usual contribution
Of 20 or 30 tons per day from the us
and 300-foot levels Of the old upper
mine, and n few tons taken ont in
drifting at the new lowest or eighth
level Just being opened. The main
working drift north ut this level is be-
ing run in the west edge OF the pay
streak and has reached 100 feet north.
The cross-cut east from 1t, 20 feet north
Of the main east drift. Is into the pay
ore % feet, and will very shortly con-
meet with the winze at that poirt sunk
from the level above. The main east
drift has been extended farther east
and has cut into the pay ore also %
feet. This ore Is fully rs good as in
the level above, and doubtless Is fully
as eXtensive-perhaps more so. Re-
ccipts for November, $ll5.oiS.
IMPERAI-EMPIRE.
Daily yield 30 tons, from the old
upper mine. The east drift Mt the
lower level is now in 20 feet, and the
face shows only barren quartz. The
west drift is in l35 feet, aud the face
shows hard porphyry, which Is thought
to be tie west wall. and probably Is.
| Nothing new since our last report.
The annual meeting Of the Empire
Company will be held next Wednes-
day.
ovERNAN.
Daily WELD 20 tonS-nearly all from
the lower tunnel. Nothing new devel-
oped. 4 survey Is ordered by the
Court in the matter of the dispute be-
tween this company and the Caledonia
Company. An assessment of 81 80
per share was levied December 9th.
pANEY.
The shaft is completed 300 feet deep,
with y stump Of 10 feet deeper. The
station l. now being opened for the
3OO-foos level. which is to be run 200
feet in order to strike 50 feet below the
bottom of the old shaft where 4 body
Of very rich ore Is known to exist.
GOULD s CURRY.
Daily yield 20 tons, assays averaging
$40 per ton. The ore breasts in the
PotoSi body are not looking quite so
well. giving n materially diminished
yield owing TO the vein narrowing con-
siderabiv rs further developed.
vIRGISIA CONSOLIDATED.
The face of the west drift ut the 500
foot level, from the new shaft, Is in
easy working porphyry, showing indi'
cations of proximity to the vein. An
assessment Of 81 so per share was
levied December 9th.
SACRAMENTO Ant MEREDITH.
We have nothing particularly new
to say about this mine, except that 1t
is proposed to consolidate 1t with the
Sierra Nevada. adjoining. the new
arrangement to 90 into effect on the
9Th Of next month.
YELLOW LACkET.
The work of putting In the new
hosting machinery progresses as we'll
rs could be expected. Meanwhile the
two lower drifts north are being con-
tinued. working through the Crown
Pint mine.
JULIA.
This company is now resuming' work,
proposing to sink their main shaft 100
feet deeper than its present depth Of
$50 feet. They feel morally certain OF
cutting a good body Of ore In fifty feet
deeper.
orIIR.
Nothing new developed at the low
est level. where all the work Is con-
centratcd. The annual meeting OF the
company will be held next "Wednesday.
SIERRA NEVADA.
Looking finely, rs usual. and yieia-
ing well enough to warrant the diVi-
dend Of 81 per share disbursed day
before yesterday. O..
