The advancement downward Of the
main shaft Is continued without cessa-

opening Is found to be we'll defined,
aud to consist of quartz Of q very
promising appearance. On the first
level the maia adit Is still run west

through several veins OF medium grade
ore. From the main tunnel drifts are
now being made to the northward and
southwark. These passages are de-

The new shalt II now sunk to a
of over 200 feet, aud the work Is
advancing to the perfect satisfaction of
the stockholders. The influx Of water
is less than at the date Of our last visit
to the works. The old adit Is reopened
aud cleaned out for 3 considerable dis
lance north aud west IRON the east
wall. The exploring drifts Mt this
depth are found to be Of much greater
extent than was anticipated. The va
chambers and passageways are
being retlmbered In places where the
Did supports have decayed, prepara-
Tory to q perfect examination OF the
merits Of the vein rs exposed BY these
openings.

The increase Of the depth OF the In
cline is gradual but very slow. This
work Is carried OH with great regulari-
-, and never stops. A part Of the In
cline excavation Is In the dry, barren,
lliuty quartz pertaining to the west
wall. The yield of ore from all the
OF the mine approximate 42o
tons daily. The force OF miners Is coll
siderably reduced OH account Of the
present temporary Inability Of the rail-
road to transport ore as heretofore.

Rsntuck,
Daily yield reduced to 30 tors, keep
ing one mill running. This Is By rea-
son of the ore In the old
workings having become somewhat
reduced. The drift between the 400
aud 500 foot levels Is likely to open
out II considerable amount Of ore when
reaches where 1t ought to DO. Cross
and drifting at the llO0-foot
level Is vigorously being prospected,
but with no new developments.
