the /, 2OO-foot level and above, through
out, Is also kept perfectly we'll venti-
lated by means OF winze and other
connections, inducing good drafts or
currents Of air, so that there Is no
difficulty In working with as perfect
comfort in any part Of the mine rs can
be done ut the surface. Nothing new
to report in the way of ore develop
ments. The old upper mine Of the
Imperial company still yields about 40
tons of low-grade orc daily, averaging
$l2 or $l5 per ton, which materially
assists in paying the expenses of pros
pecting and sinking the new shaft. 1t
Is estimated that there Is enough Of
this low-grade ore in sight to last a
couple Of years.
Yielding about 40 tons per day OF
fair grade ore, all from the eighth or
lowest level. Nothing particularly
new or interesting to report at that
point. The drift north, which we have
heretofore mentioned as being run to
strike the ore body recently developed
by the Gould d Curry Company at
| their south line. on the D street level,
reached its destination about l o'clock
last night, n small hole being made
| through into the Gould & Curry work
inrs i'm advance Of the main drift. The
track floor of this drift is only about a
foot higher than that of the Gould q
Curry intersection, and n fine draft OF
air Is afforded, v%entilating both mines
ex~ccllently. The Savage drift cut into
the ore streak, Is feet from the line,
but until prosecuting or sinking Is
done. the true value Of that portion of
the streak will not Of course be ascer-
tanned. 1t looks promising, however.
The main Savage shaft is now down
over 200 feet, and the 9th station will
be opened next week, corresponding to
the Hale & Norcross 7th level, 1,2S2
feet from the surface or top Of the
shaft. The "bears" appear to have
got after the stock somewhat of late,
but there Is u prospect Of q reaction.
oPHIR.
Considerable very good ore Is being
| taken from the new Streak developed
recently In the north Ophir ground. a
short distance north OF the Mexican
north line. to which We referred fully
and descriptively in Il last report.
Most of it Is rich In the precious bull
lion. yet contain quite n detrimental
amount of base metal. 1t, however, Is
found better as worked deeper and
further south. Nothing new developed
at the lowest level, from the new
| shaft. An assessment Of - per share
was levied yesterday.
HALE 4 NoRcRoss.
Looking and yielding about the same
as at our last report. The north Wine
below the seventh level, $50 feet north
| OF the shaft, Is now down % feet In
tirst-ratc ore, and the raise at the same
| level 40 feet south Of the shaft isnearly
I'D to the sixth level, also In first-clasS
| ore all the way. The main shaft Is
now az feet below the seventh level,
and sinking deeper at favorable rate.
a dividend of s. per share Is disbursed
to-day.
CROWN POINT.
Daily yield about 40 tom Of fair
grade ore from the upper levels. The
drift south at the l,l00-foot level Is
now In % feet, the face showing only
barren quartz and porphyry rs yet.
The incline Is 80 feet below the LOO
foot level and progressing deeper ut a
satisfactory rate, the bottom being Ill
hard ~porphyry and quartz, with very
little water.
BELcHER.
An assessment of 81 per share was
levied on the 9Th instant, amounting
to $20,S00, delinquent October l4th.
The usual amount Of prospecting is
being conducted ut the 100 and l52-foot
levels. The work Of opening the 42O-
| foot level progresses well, and PROM
ises to develop a good body Of ore
eventually.
cHoLLAR-PoTosI.
A dividend OF 81 so per share was
declared OH the 9th, and Is payable to-
day. The last n was s. per share,
and those previous to 1t, 81. The Bel
| videre and other ore sections are look
ing fully rs we'll rs ut our last report,
and yielding about the same.
ovERMAN.
Some very rich ore is taken from the
fine and extensive new development IN
the south portion Of the 400-foot level,
hut it seems to lie In detached punches.
The ore body. continues looking better
as further developed, especially rs
raised upon.
