This fismness or advance, however, Is
not the result Of new developments,
but simply because of a better feeling
OF confidence and appreciation Of the
developments already existing and be-

Hill section. The Alta says: "The

Belcher. The machinery of both these
great mines Is running splendidly and

know about the mines:
Crewn Point.
Daily yield nearly 600 tons, keeping
all the. mills Of the company again
running. The water being once more
out Of the 1300-foot level, the ore de-
velopments being made at that point
are of the richest and most important
The pumps are working
most effectively and rs fast as the
water Is drained, the WINES below the
1907 foot level are being sunk deeper
and in f~lrst-class ore, showing the vast
ore body to extend below any previous
exploration or knowledge. The bot
tom certainly Is not found yet, neither
are any signs Of 1t perceptible.

drifts both north and south at the HOO
foot level show a much more favorable
appearance, giving good promise OF

Daily yield % tons from the old

any new ore bodies as yet. Water In

incline as yet, but with better pump
ing arrangements and the drainage Of
the Crown Point the difficulty will be
obvlated during the coming week,
when the 15iO.foot station will DO

Ksntuck.
Daily yield 90 tons Of good milling
ore from the old workings. The water
from the Crown Point being about
drained out again, prospecting ut tho
level OF the kentuck will be re-
sumed forthwith, and good ore devel-
opments arc confidently expected,
Judging from the way the lowest level
of the Crown Point Is turning out, ut
such a short distance from the kcntuck

progress Is being made. The drifts at

Justice.
Yielding daily about 20 tons Of good
paying ore from the south mine. The
new pumping arrangements will be
completed and running next Monday,
and the water will DO pumped out OF
the shaft as soon as possible. Thus fur
no mining operations havc been re-
sumed in the drift at the 400-foot level,
other than clearing out, repairing, etc.,
which was interrupted by the water.
Savage.
Daily yield a little over 200 tons,
assays averaging $22. Tho principal
yield is from the lower levels, with a
good contribution also from the upper
mine. Considerable prospecting Is be-
ing done at the l5O0-fo level, with
no new developments rs yet, and the
main incline Is being sunk for q new
level below. 1t Is now down 20 feet
below the 1900.

The tunnel running northerly devel-
ops a fine ledge Of paying ore, which

cut will be made shortly which will
define the full size Of the ledge. Where
1t has been cut into, 1t shows plenty OF
ore carrying both gold aud silver.
Over 100 tons OF 1t Is OH the dump
