The work in the mine with the ex-
ceptlon OF some repairs to the incline
"a stopped for want Of wood. 1t being
impossible to obtain q supply. The
men repairing the incline descend by
way Of the Savage shaft and enter
through the connecting drift on the
l5OO.foot level. Taking advantage Of
the stoppage Of the works the manage
ment has commenced the work Of over
hauling and repairing some OF the
hosting machinery, thus ooviating q
delay at some future day.

The surface work for the new ma
chlnery Is almost entirely suspended
for the present on account Of q lack Of
the necessary timber, caused BY the
railroad blockade. The main west
drift on the ll67-foot level Is still
pushed vigorously ahead, the face In
porphyry. Prospecting the 5Oo-toot
level Is still continued, with no ma
terial change to note. Sinking the in
cline Is making fair progress.

A prospecting drift north from the
irss station, developed n new body Of
fine ore during the week that promises
to add largely to the yield of the mine.
The drift at the fourth station Is In 50
feet, and will have about 30 feet more
to run to reach the ledge. The mill
was again started up last Monday,
working finely, and good returns may
be looked for.
