4OO-foot level. The bottom is in streaks
of CLAW and quartz, the latter carrying
strong traces of silver. The main
ledge Is evidently not far of. On
| Wednesday next it Is proposed to COM
mence drifting at the 400-foot level for
the ledge, which Is to be thoroughly
prospected at that level.
CholIar-PoissI.
The work OIL the new machinery Is
pushed steadily ahead with all the
vigor possible. The shaft Is repaired
to the top OF the incline 300 feet below
the surface. The usual amount OF ore
Is being taken from the upper levels,
and everything in and about the mine
wears a look OF future prosperity.

Good progress Is being made In the
sinking of the main shaft. The influx
of water heretofore has retarded pro-
gress, but the stream Is now lessened
and the work Of sinking IL not HIN
dered. To-day they have commenced
to cut out for the first station, and will
commence to drift for the ore vein
within two days.
Caledonia.
The prospecting drift south, on the
3OO-foot level of the old works, has de-
yeloped nothing Of merit yet. The
west drift, at the 400-foot level. Is in
about 400 feet in the east casing, and
will undoubtedly cut the ledge In n
very short time. The west drift from
the 7OO-foot level is In 9S feet in hard
blasting ground.

The work Of prospecting both the
1900 and 1G0O-foot levels is being
pushed ahead with the utmost vigor.
The ore In tho Wine on the lGOO.foot
level Is improving In quality as depth
Is attained, giving the most flattering
promise OF a fine body.
Arizona and Utah.
Work enough has been done in this
mine to prove that 1t contains a yalua-
bic ledge of pay ore, and an assess
ment of 81 per share has just been lev
led to raise the requisite funds to pur-
chase suitable machinery for working
the mine properly.

The incline Is now sunk TO the depth
of 362 feet. The face of the south DRIFT
Is In fine ore, the various ore breasts
are looking splendldly and the conse-
quent bullion yield highly satisfactory,
$3.50 having been shipped day before
yesterday.

This mine promises exceedingly
we'll. 1t Is worked by means Of a tun-
mel about 300 feet In length, and a
shaft is being sunk from 1t to develop
the ledge below. 1t Is expected to be
yielding good pay orc before long.

The ore extracted this week has
shown improvement v c that Of last
week, and the width of the body holds
out admirably. The new stock OF the
company is issued to-day-37,OOO

Utah.
The sinking Of the main shaft Is be-
Ing continued day and night with three
shifts Of men. The rock through
which they are passing has been very
hard the past five days, but 1t Is now
softer and better progress will DO
made.

into on account of too much water, and
is not likely to be for three or four
weeks yet.

The main ledge continues to show
better and better rs deeper developed,
and some excellent ore Is being ex-
tracted for milling.
