YELLOW JACKET.

DAILY ylelu SiU tOIs, IIOu the "
and S0O-foot levels, only a few tons
per day of low grade ore coming from
the upper levels. The l,00OLfoot level
has suspended Its yield at present, and
drifting north will IN about u week or
ten days intersect the rich ore body
found In the level above. Drifting
north at the l,100-foot level, from the
Crown Point mine, has progressed
rather slowly Of late, owing to water
impedimentS, but at the present rate
of progress in five or six weeks the
drift will reach where it should inter-
sect the good body Of ore found In the
1,000-foot level. The ore body In the
900-foot level, and being worked north
and upward toward the S00-f0ot level,
Is by far the best ever found In the
mine. It Is being breasted out over 50
feet In width. The east wall Is found,
but not the west wall, therefore the
width Of this splendid body of ore Is
not yet known. The finances Of the
| company are in a healthy condition,
and q dividend Is not far of.
oPHIR.
Both southwest drifts at the lower
level of the new works are progressing
well, with good indications. and a de
crease of water. At the 20O-foot level
of the north upper works the DRIFT west
will o intersect the ore vein found
in the level above, and at that depth 1t
may prove to be of better quality, and
less charged with base metal. A pros
pecting drift Is also being run north at
this level. The shaft Of the pump
broke day before yesterday, so now the
lower levels are filled with water. It
will take about a week to get things
straight again.
ALE q NoRCROSs.
The repairs to the shaft being con-
cluded and work resumed at the low
est levels this last week, the daily
yield Is again increased to about 200
tons daily, principally from the lowest
or l,200-foot level. The fine body of
ore developed at this level shows no
sign whatever Of falling, either In
quantity or quality. At 4 point 100
feet north of the shaft prosecuting Is
being done, and the developments
there are exceedingly fiattering. Yes
terday, the last dividend declared, Of
81 80 per share, was discussed.
vrRGISlA CONSOLIDATED.
n heavy increase Of water was tap
ped last Tuesday in the drift west from
the 500-foot station of the new shaft,
which drove the workmen out, and has
kept the battling tanks in full opera
ton ever since. They expect to get
at work In the drift again about next
Tuesday. Considerable ore of a very
good grade Is now being taken out
daily from the old upper workings,
through the Sides tunnel.
OCCIDENTAL.
The old upper portion of the mine
Is yielding at the same regular rate as
ever, and will do so for many a long
month to come. The lower tunnel Is
still being theoretically driven ahead,
and the connection with the winze from
the upper mine will be completed
about the 4th of July, ii the rock gets
no harder. No increase Of water Is
perceptible. Work on the new mill is
progressing satisfactorily.
GOULD q CURRY.
Daily yield about 50 tons. considera-
BILE of an increase since u last report.
No new developments in the way of
any large or extensive body Of ore Is
made, but the present ore producing
sections are looking we'll. The first
and second levels are now connected
BY a winze, giving a good air circula-
ton. Nothing yet developed at !th
or lowest level In prospecting at that
point.
BEI.CHER.
The ore yield shows somewhat Of q
falling of, owing to the surface slopes
above the l52-foot level, and the ore
seam above 262-foot level giving signs
Of exhaustion, rs we'll showing poorer
quality of ore. Some very fair grade
ore, however, Is found near the north
boundary line which bids fair to lead
into a good dcsposit. An assessment
of 81 per share was levied last Thurs
day.
SACRAMENTO 3 MEREDITH.
The new mill Is running splendidly,
with a plentiful supply Of water, and
Of good ore from the mine. AS
to the mine. they have ore enough In
sight and on the dump to last for many
long month. to say nothing of what
is not In sight. Some very rich free
gold specimen ore is occasionally met
with.
cHoLLAR-PoTosI.
Daily yield. l75 tons. The Belvidere
section still continues its extra good
yield, and the other ore producing sec
lions are looking well, showing no
signs Of falling. Receipts for May,
Sac, 1888 70. The regular monthly
dividend of 81 per share was disbursed
yesterday.
SIERRA NEVADA. |
Nothing new. Both mill and mine
running steadily, and at a satisfactory
rate Of production.
OSERMAS.
Nothing new since u last report.
