Savage.
Daily yield 100 tons ofore worth s26
e ton. The incline is down 1856 feet
below the l5OO-foot Lowell, and the sink
inc 4. harder than at our last report.
Work on the l500-foot level Is almost
entirely suspended for the present.
The ore body on the 661.foot level Of
the old works Is being breasted out
both north and south, and Is still
yielding finely.
Jacob Little.
This mine is looking splendidly at
present. A large body Of good mill
ing ore Is developed In the upper tun-
mel, and the Superintendent Is now In
San Francisco making arrangements
for a 20.stamp mill, and the mine Is
capable, even now, Of yielding fifty
tons Of good paying ore per day regu-
larly. The lower tunnel Is progress
ing at a satisfactory rate.
OphIr.
Sinking the shaft Is suspended for
the present. A new station has been
opened at the l48O-foot level, and a
drift started for tile ledge. The work
Of prospecting the 700 and ll00-foot
levels is progressing finely. The new
developments are proving very salts
tsctory-in fact, realizing all TINT has
been expected. So says the manage
ment.
General prospecting operations are
vigorously prosecuted In the TWO low
est levels. The deepening of the in
cline Is continued without Interrupt
ton. New pumps OF improved ca
paclty are being put In position ior the
removal of the water from greater
depths, should 1t be found requisite.
ChsIIar.Po tssI. 81
Daily yield ITO tons Of ore worth 81
per ton. The orc breasts in the Belvi-
deere, Blue Wing, and other r pro-
ducing sections Of the mine are look
ing and yielding finely as usual. The
pumps are down, and the surfaces
machinery fast approaching compile
ton.
Csnsslidassd virEIuIa.
Work on the excavations for tho
new hoisting works is being pushed
With vigor. The cross-cuts OIL the 6OO-
foot level ara still being driven ahead
through low grade ore. The main
north drift OIL the ll87-foot level Is be-
Ing pushed steadily forward with tho
face In porphyry.
Bolcher.
Daily yield $50 tons. The orc breasts
at the lOOO-foot level show improve
ment, otherwise tLere Is nothing new
to report. The main incline Is sink
Ing at a good rate Of progress and the
llOO.foot station will DC ready for
ore hoistlng In about two weeks.
Caledonia.
The progress made In pushing the
prospecting drifts and cross-cuts on
the iO0-foot level Of the new shaft Is
necessarily slow OIL account Of the
heavy flow Of water. Nothing new In
the way of ore developments to report,
though the main ledge may be cut any
day.
Crswn Point.
Daily yield $50 tons, from the 100
and l2OO.foot levels. The winzes and
cross-cuts indicate the ore body at the
l3OO.foot level to DO Of great width,
aud the orc Is Of fine quality. The ore
producing sections are all looking and
yielding well.
The now shaft designed to tap the
eastern ore body, has now attained q
depth of 40 feet. The water In the
lotion OF the shaft has increased ; the
capacity of the pumping apparatus,
now In position, Is sufficient to remove
the water at present flowing Into the
shaft.
Sierra Nevada.
The orc breasts In both the upper
and middle portions Of the mine are
looking and yielding finely, keeping
the mill steadily running. Cleaning
out and retimbering the drifts In the
5OO-foot level is progressing finely.
OccioeuSuis
Work In the lower main adit Is con-
tinued without cessation. The north.
ern face Of the tunnel Is now In a hard
composition of rather less favorable
appearance than was prevalent during
the preceding week.
GouId & Curry.
Good progress Is made In sinking the
lucline. The l600.foot station Is opened
and a drift started for the ledge. Pros
pecting the different levels aud drifts
Is progressing as usual, with nothing
new whatever to report.

Sinking the main shaft Is carried on
continuously. Drifting west on first
level Is also continued uninterruptediy,.
The ledge Is expected to DO cut with
this DRIFT within three or four days.
Jaiia.
The shaft is down 900 feet and the
sinking resumed. The main west drift
OH the SO0-foot level Is In l36 feet.
The holsting works are nearly COIN
pleted, aud prospects looking favora-

work fast drawing TO a close. II Will
Oe two or three weeks yet before oper-
utions In the mine will be resumed.

Tho erection Of the new hosting
works Is being driven ahead eneiget-
