cry, 90 that half Of the ore production
has to DO holsted through the Yellow

will DO obviated in abouta week. when
the ore will be hoisted through the

north at the 10O0-foot level Is In 25l
feet from the incline, and the DRIFT
south to meet 1t $50 feet ; 20 feet more
will complete the connection. The
l200-foot level looks as promising as
ever. The Incline Is down 12S feet be-
low the 1l00.foot level, In hard blast
ing rock. The Kelsey, Sunderland, Pa.
ciAc, Eureka and Santiago mills are
all running on Belcher ore.

The incline Is down IS feet below
tho 17OO-foot level, making steady pro
gress, though the rock Is quite hard.
Tho prospecting drifts on the other
levels have made about the usual pro-
gress during the week, with no new
developments or changes worthy OF
notice. The surface work for tho new
