Daily yield $50 tons, keeping six
mills steadily running. The caved
portion Of the mine has all been clean
ed out and properly secured, and the
mine Is In pretty good shape. The
HOO and l2OO-foot levels are both
Welding as we'll as usual. The 1900
foot level is all cleaned out and cross
cutting Is resumed. Good progress is
also being made In the wines being
sunk FROM the level above.
All work In the shaft and drifts Is
suspended. The stone foundation for
the new engines Is fast approaching
completion. Two large boilers for the
new engines were received yesterday
via the Virginia and Truckee Railroad.
Work on the new machinery will be
pressed to completion as fast IS con-
slstent with finish and durability.

The cross-cut shows the ore vein to
be 80 feet wide and no west wall
reached yet. As soon as a mill can be
purchased, a lot of the ore already Oh
the dump will be milled. A new tun-
mel, to intersect the ledge 900 feet be-
meath the highest groupings, will be
commenced next Monday. The pros
poets Of this excellent mine are deci-
dedly In the ascendant.

between the 900 and 1OOO-foot levels.

in working position, the foundation
being completed.

Utah.
Sinking Of the new shaft IL still en-
ergetically progressing. 1t has now
attained a depth of 1874 feet below the

quire repairs for many years.
