Daily yield 300 tons. all Of which Is
hoisted through the company's own
shaft, having no further use for the
Yellow Jacket shaft except in getting
timbers, men, ETC.. through into the
ore slopes Of the l000-foot level. The
main incline Ia now down liz feet
below the ll00-foot level. The main
south DRIFT at the l20O-foot level Is In
l76 feet from the Crown Point line.
with the face still In hne orc. A
cross-cut cast Is commenced at this
point. The old cross-cut or DRIFT east
from the winze Is also being reopened
In order to extend It farther east,
where Crown Point developments show
that good ore exists. The ore breasts
ut the llOO-foot level still yield and
hold u admirably. At the 1000-foot
level the DRIFT south from the ore
slopes is In 252 feet from the Crown
Point line, toward the shaft, and from
the shaft the DRIFT north tn connect Ia
in 229 feet. Ninety feet more will
connect the two drifts, and give a much
desired outlet for the ore, as we'll as
thoroughly ventilate that part OF the
mine.
Hale Il N~srersss.
The hosting engines have been thor
oughly overhauled and repaired, and
that part Of the machinery Is now In
excellent working condition. The
foundation of the pumping engine and
the walls Of the bob pit have been
greatly strengthened, though It Is still
found necessary to increase the solidity
OF the abutments. as the strain upon
the pumping gear Is very great and
gradually Increasing as the working OF
the mine Is extended downward. All
the needed improvements to the hoist
ing machinery having been completed,
the mine Is now IN readiness for ac-
tive operation when a supply OF that
indispensable necessary, wood, Is re-
ceived.
silver Hill.
The prospecting drifts on the first
level are still vigorously pushed for
ward. These drifts are being run In a
northerly and southerly course near
the west wall Of the vein. No rich de-
velopments have Jet been made,
though the south drift Is In nearly far
enough to reach the ore body discov-
cred and worked from the old upper
adit. This drift has already passed
through quartz showing steadily In
crea,ing assays, and It Is the daily ex-
pectation to strike the chimney.
Utah.
No work has been done In the new
shaft for the past week. The cessation
Of operations Is only temporary and IL
in consequence Of the inability to pro-
cure the necessary supply Of fuel. The
reopening OF the closed chambers In
the old mine Is continued through the
old upper adit. A fine looking vein
has been opened. but the ore Is not OF
sufficiently high grade to DO reduced
with profit. An assessment Of 81 per
share has been levied. This Is the FIRST
assessment Of the company.
Consolidated v~irsiaia.
A partial supply Of timber hav-
Ing been received, work has been
again resumed on tho rev holsting
works. The shaft Is down thirty feet
below the 500-foot level In good work.
ing ground. The cross-cuts and drifts
south on the 500-foot level show no
change Of consequence since our last
report. The main west diift on the
ll67-foot level from the Gould and
Curry Is still driven ahead, the face In
hard blasting porphyry.
Ye,isw Jacket.
Daily yield 90 tons Of fine ore from
the old workings, above the 100000
level. The DRIFT north ut tho l3O0-foot
level rs we'll as the cro,scut east shows
nothing new or important. The new
pumping arrangement works splen-
didly aud by Monday next IL Is thought
the water will be sufficiently drained
to allow Of work being resumed at the
l5O0.foot level.
Occidental.
The northern adlt Is pressed vlgor-
ously forward by the new contractors.
The advance Is very steady consider
Ing the exceeding hardness OF the rock.
The main tunnel Is carried forward
parallel with the ledge No discover
les have yet been made Of sufficient
value to warrant 3 change In tho
course of the drift.
Julia.
Sinking the shaft Is making excel
lent progress, the ground working
finely. The main east drift Is In $50
feet, the rock In the face working
somewhat harder. The new building
is completed and everything in good
working condition for the Winter. An
assessment Of 81 80 per share Is just
levied.
Caledonia.
About the usual progress has been
made with the prospecting drifts OH
the 400-foot level Of the new works
with 10 change Of interest to report.
The south drift on the 300.foot level OF
the old works has cut through the
heavy body Of clay encountered last
week and Is again in ledge matter.

Sinking the incline and prospecting

with no material change to note. The
surface improvements are being crowd
ed to completion as fast rs the dura-
billty OF the work Will admit.

The incline Is down SO feet, the en-

the incline entirely on tho under side
of the ledge.
