Daily yield $50 tons Of orc, the assay
value OF which Is $50 per ton. The
yield Of the different ore breasts for
the week Is hardly up to the usual
standard, and the quality, II anything,
a little poorer. The sO0-foot station Il
about completed. and the pump ready
TO be lowered to the head Of the In
cline. The new Root boiler Is In place,
and the framework fast approaching
completion. The heavy solid blocks
Of granite for the bed Of the new blow
er, are ready to DO placed In position,
and everything In and about the mine
wears the appearance Of soon being In
excellent condition for o steady win
ter's work.

A fine supply Of wood being just re-
ceived, enough to last till Spring; the
new hosting works r to be started
up at once. The main incline Is down
1855 feet, and this Is to be retimbered
forthwith and put In the best possible
working condition. The 1rst level Is
IS feet from the surface, and tho Sec
ond or lowest level Is, from the bottom
Of the incline, developing = fine vein
of ore. The regular yield, however,
Of fourteen tons per day, Of high-grade
ore, Is from the tunnel. This yield
will be increased to fifty tons per day
before long. The company still de.

Nothing new developed at the lowest
level as yet. Crosscutting going ahead

Wednesday evening, the following
named gentlemen were elected trus-

$22s, OSS So. Including expenses for Ia
Dor, milling. taxes, salaries Of officers,
frcights, lumber, etc., but no dividend.
Daily yield, $50 tons Of ore, worth
$27 per ton. The ore bodies on both
the upper aud lower levels OF the
mine are holding out and improving
in appearance. The incline Is down
65 feet below the l6O0-foot level, max
ing steady though rather slow prog
ress. The north drit on the 1600-foot
level Is making excellent Roadway,
the ground working we'll. The south
drift on the l6O0.fo level Is making
much slower progress, the rock In the
face blasting and working badly. This
is probably the same tough belt Of rock
penetrated on the level above, and
will not continue long.

The incline, at a depth Of ffty-hvs
feet, has broken through into an old
chamber worked from an old shaft 80
feet to the southwark Of the present
workings. This chamber was worked
In 1854, and some very rich ore ex-
tracted, some Of which yielded us per
on mt tho mill. and creating quite an
excitement at the time. This was the
poiut intended to be reached by the
incline. aud good developments may
be looked for o

The work Of prospecting the various
levels Of the mine Is progressing as
usual, with no new developments dur
ing the week. The yield Of ore from
the different levels Is about l5O tons
Der day. The engine for hosting from
the north winze on the l50O-foot level,
is In place, nearly ready TO start up.
Sinking the incline Is resumed and Is
making good progress.

Both the north and south drifts on
the first level are still In quartz, the
vein showing = regular and perman-
ent formation. Connection has been
made between tho raise from the first
level, and the Wine from the old up
per works, giving a much better circu-
iation Of good air. The distance be-
tfeen the two levels Is 100 feet. The
pumping machinery Is being put In
position.

A large number OF men are employed
In the erection Of the new hoisting
works. The frame Of the new build
Ing is being raised, the furnace work
of the boiler Is nearly completed, and
the new hosting engine nearly ready
to start. Sinking the incline Is max
ing good Roadway, and prospecting at
the 1857 foot level going on as usual
with no change Of interest to report.

Having obtained a supply OF WOOD
the mill and holsting works were again
started up last Sunday morning. With

Of the work. there Is nothing new to
report Of the prospecting operations on
the 5OO.foot level. The different ore
breasts In the upper and middle por-
ton, of the mine continue to yield 10
or so tons per day Of good milling ore.
