Entire length 2,sS3 feet. The face
Ia in hard blasting rock, but improv'
ing. The various ore shafts along the
line of tho tunnel are being actively
sunk. and building and all other oper'
atIons connected with tho tunnel are
f~iourishing. Contracts are let In San
Francisco for supplying the heavy
pumping and holsting machinery fol
the shafts. etc. The annual meeting
of the stockholders for the election Of
Trustees for the ensuing year will be
held at San Francisco March 4th.

Daily yield 100 tons, from the old
workings. Nc new Developments. The
main shaft aud incline Of the company
Is being cleaned out preparatory to
deeper sinking and prospecting. In
hosting from the incline up to the
bottom of tho shaft a small donkey
engine, driven by compressed air, will
be used. The hoisting works of the
shaft are to DO considerably enlarged,
and new and powerful machinery
added to its effectiveness.
Imperial.Rmpire.
The two drifts toward the Imperial
and Empire mines respectively, at the
185O-foot level have neither reached
the ledge as yet, but will shortly. 1t
Is a very critical and important point
and much Is expected. Nothing fur
Their done with the drlft which has cut
the west wall of the 1500-foot level,
and will not be till the lower level Is
opened by reason OF the disadvantage
which might result from tho tapping
of a body Of water.
Jacob Little.
This Is an old mine newly opened,
on Cedar Hill, at the north end Of the
Comstock, lying west Of the Sierra
Nevada. Some good ore Is being taken
from the ledge for milling. 1t Is prin-
cipally gold orc, but there Is consider
able silver ore also entering into tho
composition Of the ledge. A tunnel
about 100 feet In length has nearly
reached the ledge, which will prospect
1t at a greater depth than yet attained.
Ophir.
The main south drift at the 1100-foot
level IL now In 400 feet, and cross
cutting east from the end of 1t was
commenced last Tuesday. No good
developments thus far. At the 1900
foot level little progress made, owing
to retimbering and necessary repairs.
Sinking the shaft deeper for a new
level will DO resumed shortly.
Buckeye.
A new and very promising devel-
opment Of $50 ore Is made In the south
drift at the 100-foot level. 1t ia In ell
tlrely new ground, and much Is ex-
pected from It. Preparation are being
made to stope 1t out. Sinking tho
main incline deeper is about to be re-
sumed. The Hope mill Is yielding
splendidly, and the affairs of tho COM
pany arc In a decidedly tlouri,hing
state.
Shaft 40 feet below the 500-foot level
and still sinking, although with con-
siderable water to contend with. Drift
ting north at the 500-foot level Is still
going OH theoretically, and cross-cut-
ting into the ledge will be done short
ly, where good ore developments are
confidently expected.
Rcd Jacket.
This Is a very promising mine sltua-
ted Just south Of the Justice, showing
q goodly quantity OF fair grade ore In
the surface groupings. 1t Is one Of the
carly locations, now being energetical-
ly made available, by proper and effi-
Client development. 1t will be made a
producing mine, paying Its way from
the first.
The new tunnel has tapped the back
ledge, and good milling ore Is being
taken out. The working force has
been increased, and the ledge Is OPEN
Ing out finely, showing all extensive
amount of ore. This Is one of the most
promising mines on the south end Of
the Comstock.
Julia.
The S00-foot station has been reached
by the shaft, which progresses deeper
at the rate Of three feet a day. The
rock Is looking better than ever, and
the prospects Of finding q good body
OF orc are very flattering.
Gold Hill Tu.nel.
The new shaft of the 10OO-foot sta
ton Of the tunnel, or rather 1000 feet
| from the entrance Is fairly commenced
and being sunk as rapidly a possible
In a very eligible and promising ore
locality.
The incline Is being sunk at tho rate
of three feet a day, tho rock being
softer and easier worked. The east
drlft from the tenth station Is also pro-
crossing satisfactorily. Nc new de-
velopments.
New shaft down 80 feet, and work
progressing we'll. The usual amount
Of ore 10 being taken from the mine
enough to keep the company's mill
running steadily.

Shaft enlarged and thoroughly 70.

work now energetically concentrated
upon the erection OF the extensive and
powerful new hosting works.
