to put in a new spur wheel. All will
be running again this evening. The
DRIFT north from the incline, and south
from the ore slopes at the l0OO-ioot
level, connected with each other on
Tuesday last. A strong current of air
commenced passing through at once,
which Is gradually cooling oft the hot
slopes. As soon as the proper arrange
ments can DO made, the ore from this
point will be run out to the incline at
the new station. The main incline Is
now down $50 feet below the ll0O-foot
level. and at 167 feet. on the slope, 1t
will be deep enough for the l2OO-foot
station. II will, however, be carried 90
or 80 feet deeper for n stump. before
the station Is opened. The north drift
at the S50-foot level Is In 295 feet. The
ore breasts Of the 1000 and ll00-foot
levels are looking finely as usual, and
a winze Is commenced 200 feet south OF
the Crown Point line at the llOO-foot
level, to 90 down and connect with
the south Drift at the level below.
CheIIar.Potssi.
Daily yield, 100 tons Of ore, the as
say value of which Is $32 per ton.
There is little or no change IN either
the yield or the appearance OF the diff
ferent breasts during the week. The
work of repairing at the head Of the
incline is making steady progress,
though the damage being much greater
than was expected, the work Is neces.
sarily slow. The new air compressor
Is in place, ready to be started up as
soon as the necessary pipe for conduct
Ing the air can be laid through the
mine. The new Root boilers will be
ready for work by the middle Of the
coming week.
Crown Point.
Owing to the repairs to the pump
tho watr Of the lower level rather got
the best of it the last day or two-a
mere temporary advantage however
flowing through the kentuck into the
Yellow Jacket. The usual amount
Of ore Is yielded from the HOO and
l200-foot levels, and the ore breasts
and slopes arc looking Splendidly us
usual. The future of the Crown Point
Is full Of brilliant promise.
Yellow Jacket.
Yielding little or no ore at present.
Nothing developed IN the main drift
or cross-cuts ut the 1900 foot level
north. Still drifting east at the 400
foot level, from the incline. A heavy
influx Of water from the Crown Point
mine during the last two days has
caused total suspension of the drifting
east at the Is a0.foot level from the in
cline.
kSntuck.
Nothing doing at tho lowest level,
developments not being encouraging.
Not deep enough for good ore. The
only work being done in the mine Is at
the old workings about the 600 and
70O-foot lovcls, cleaning the leavinSs
Of richer times.
Buclcye.
The mine never looked better than
ut the present. Prospecting the diff
ferent levels still goes on as usual, with
the most f~lattering results. No ore Is
being extracted nc present, tho dumps
being full, and 1t being impossible to
obtain wood to keep the mill running.
The work on the new machinery
and other surface improvements Is
fast approaching completion. Every
thing will probably be In readiness to
again start the work Of draining the
SHAFT by the 18th Of this month.
Baltimore Consolidated.
Shaft down $40 feet. Drift at the

troubling, good progress Is made, and
everything works smoothly.

The north aud south drifts at the
first level are making good progress,
with the face of both drifts still In
low grade ore. No ore Is being ex-
tracted from the mine, the dumps not
being yet ready to receive 1t.
Danoy.
All work suspended for the present.
Too much water In the shaft. Opera

part of the mine next, where good ore
Is known to exist.
