MINING SUMMARY.
For tho Week Ending August II, 1s72.

yanced rates all next week. Below
we give what we know about the
Daily yield $50 tons, from the lloC
and l0OO-foot levels. The ore breasts
are all looking full as we'll as ever,
giving brilliant promise Of future yield.
The connection between the main In
cline and the west drift at the ll00-foot
level being fully made,a strong current
Of air Is continually passing up the IN
cline, giving splendid ventilation not
only through the Belcher, but also the
Point, kentuck and Yellow
Jacket. The requisite station at tho
bottom Of the Incline is being opened
out, with dumping arrangement, ETC.,
and it will take about a month yet be-
fore all can be completed ready for
hosting ore regularly through the In
cline and shaft. The surface machtn-
cry is all In readiness and working ad-
mirably. The main cas-. drift at the
lOOO-foot level, from the incline Is In
l73 feet, with the face In favorable
vein matter. 4 drift north from 1t, at
a distance of 100 feet from the incline,
is in 81 feet, progressing to meet the
drift south from the lOOO-foot level,
which Is in fine ore. About 500 feet
has to be driftcd to make connection.
Crown Point.
Daily yield about $50 tons Owing
to the cave, the ore from the 12OO-foot
level is n good deal mixed with waste,
rs some of 1t ran down from the HOO
foot level, the cave even extending
above that point. This reduces the
average of the ore considerably. The
weld last month was 1000 tons, aver
aging S25 to the ton, and giving a total
Of $33S5, 900. The opening out of the
1900 foot level Is progressing rs ener-
getically as possible. The ore body at
this level will doubtless prove Of much
greater extent than in'the levels above,
and how much below this level 1t goes
Is totally Il matter for conjecture.
Could g. Curry.
The incline is down 10 feet below
the l5OO-foot level, making a total per-
pendicular depth reached Of 1000 feet.
The north drift from the eighth sta
ton is in 42l feet and shows some lit
tie quartz, but nothing Of value. The
east drift at the tenth station Is In 227
feet, cutting some small seams OF
quartz during the week, but assays
to show any metal The north
drift at the tenth station Is in $50 feet
and the south drift In I52 feet, the face
Of both In porphyry. The new engine
Is working finely. holsting rock from
tho incline in a car carrying three tons
1t a load.
Jniin.
Owing to a breakage in some of the
hosting machinery, work has been
suspended in both the shaft and drift
until the necessary repairs can be ef-
this will probably take two or
three days yet. The foundation for
the engine Is completed. The bed stills
for the hosting frame are laid, and
for the hosting works nearly
I'll framed, ready to be put in place.
Everything in and about the works is
being done in a thorough, durable, and
business-!ike manner.

AL the ore-producing sections arc
looking exceedingly we'll, and yield
ing ore enough to keep the mill
steadily running. The ore Is of better
grade than that produced ten days ago,
md we saw an assay made this MORN
Ing at McCullough's Gold Hill Assay
from the S0-toot or first level,
yielded at the rate OF 1888 to
the ton. 1t was taken from the dump,
and certainly Is a very encouraging
Indication Of the quality Of the ore.
Overmun,
The shaft is down IS feet below the
llOO-foot level. Day before yesterday
the wrist pin of the pump spur wheel
broke, causing q delay Of the sinking
for n couple Of days. The main west
lrift on the l000-foot level has made
but little progress during the week on
account Of having to re-timber a por-
ton Of the drift. The heavy stone
work for the foundation Of the balance
OF the new machinery Is nearly CON-
On the 6O0-foor level the south drift
Is being continued !; . cross-cut is be-
Ing run cast and west from the south
end of this drift. All Of these drifts
are In solid quartz Of a favorable char
lcter. On the ll6G-foot level they are
now prosecuting west, and expect to
reach the vein within two days. This
cross-cut is now in a heavy clay wall.
rhe north drift Is being continued and
an important development Is expected
the coming week.
Ophir.
The shaft Is down 100 feet below the
l3OO-foot level, in fair sinking ground,
and no water to trouble at the bottom.
The north drift of the ll00.foot level
Is in 95 feet, passing during the week
through a heavy body Of black dyke,
and appears to be again entering a
mixture of quartz, porphyry and clay,
with a heavy increase of water, keep
Ing the pump running steadily to pre-
vent Its troubling.
Savage.
Daily yield 175 tons, worth SIS per
ton. The incline is down l23 feet be-
low the l5OO-foot level, making slow
progress. The south drift on the 1900
loot level is in 20 feet south of the
east cross.cut, making $50 feet from
the incline, and will connect with the
In about ten days. No new de-
or change to note In the
1uality of the ore body on the 1900
foot level.
Hale & Norcross.
Daily yield so tons of ore. 40 tons OF
which IS taken from the upper levels.
The work Of exploration in the south
,rn portion of the l500-foot level Is be-
continued, but no ore has yet been
Encountered In this locality. The main
moline is now sunk 145 feet below the
l50O. foot level. Another level will be
,pened when this incline shall have
,ttained an additional depth Of 2Oa
