pose Of obtaining ventilation, and In
Sures = flne circulation OF air from
north to south, through all our work
ings.
Among our improvements during
the past year has been the Introduction
into the mine OF the Burleigh Com
pressor aud Pneumatic Rock Drill.
We have used the drill very Success
fully In opening the l4OO-foot level,
and will resume Its use on the 1900
foot level as 500 as tho station Is SUI
lciently opened.
Aside from tho use Of compressed
air for rock drilling, VIC have used 1t
for the purpose Of running steam
pumps, to pump out a winze 80 feet
deep; also, pumping at the bottom OF
the iucline, while sinking the same,
forcing the water 200 feet vertically
to the l3OO-foot level pump. We are
now using the air to U hoistlng
works, with a 6xl2 Inch cylinder ell
glne, raising rock and water from the
bottom OF the above winze, all Of which
work has given satisfactory results,
and I am confident that the use Of COM
pressed air rs n motor for such UNDER
| ground works, aside from It's use for
rock drilling, will become general In
the majority Of our deep mines.
During the year We have holsted
6U,4l4 tons of orc for the Belcher Sill
YER Miuing Company, which has been
| quite q source ot revenue and profit
b US.
We have built, Jointly with the
Crown Point and kentuck mines, a
water tank for fire purposes, holding
about 200. 900 gallons Of water, aud
situated $50 feet above our works. In
connection with this tank, we have
four we'll located hydrants, and II good
supply Of Carbolized Hose at each,
which should Insure the works against
fire.
In conclusion, | will state that, al
though we have thus far been unsuc-
cessful In our explorations below the
l00O.foot level, we have very promis-
lug indications Of the existence Of ore
at greater depths, and a. we are now
6bout to open new levels. | hope We

away from the ci6c.-FaiJfeld Ill.,
Democrat.
Mr.. W. L. Carter, editor of the Shasta
(Cal.) COURIER, called on US Thursday. Mr..
Carter published the Pioneer, at Fairfield,
some years ago. He finds the country
wonderfully improved during his long alb
sence, and expresses himself as being much
pleased with the thrifty and promising ap-
pearance of Flora.-FlOra n.y. Journal.
Our old friend, Mr.. W. L. Carter, formerly
editor and publisher of the Prairie Pioneer,
one of the numerous predecessors of the Press,
is in town for a short visit among his rela-
tives and numerous friends. Eleven years
ago Lloyd left Fairfield for California and
has since been resident of that state. He
is now publishing the Shasta COURIER live
