good style, and will be yielding large

This company Is extracting Its prin-
cipal supply of ore, about 200 tons o
day, from the ninth, o1l4OO-foot level.
They are also continuing the work Of
exploration on this level north and
south of the present ore breasts. On
the tenth, or l50O-foot level, the east
DRIFT has passed through tho west vein,
and Is now being pushed forward to-
ward the eastern or main ore body.
The ore body already passed through
BY this drift Is of good quality. A

This Is one ofthe old locations at Sill
yer City now being properly brought
out and developed By Superintendent
Lamson. The mine Is situated In the
big hill south Of the old Trench mill,
and a tunnel go feet In length is just
cutting through to the ledge. This
mine was worked In 1S62-34 and good
ore found, but this tunnel Is the only
systematio working Of 1t. It has al
ready passed through a front ledge con-
tanning good ore, and the back ledge,
100 feet further, Is thought to be
abouht 80 feet wide. 1t contains both
silver and gold, principally silver, and
looks precisely like the ore from the
Belcher mine, or others along the
Comstock.

They are engaged In retimbering
and charging the main shaft, which Is
now down 225 feet. The erection Of
the hosting works Is progressing rap
idly. The machinery Is now on the
ground, and the only hindrance expo
rienced In the completion Of the works
Is the tardy arrival Of the lumber,
which Is In transit from Boca. A large
force of men Il now employed In the
construction Of the building and the
erection Of tho machinery. This ma
chinery is Of tho best workmanship.

On the 500. foot level from the main
shaft, the south drift Is now being con-
tinued; and the two east cross-cuts
from this drifs are also being continued
In the vein toward tho east wall. All
three of these drifts ara In solid blast
inc quartz, of the quality Of which we
cannot speak with certainty. The
drift on the ll60-foot level from the
Gould & Curry mine Is advancing
northward with all possible speed.
The side tunnel Is nov retimbcred, and
a substantial plank track laid the en-.
tire length. The vein was reached
yesterday.
Tho old shaft being found to be in
too bad condition for practical use, a
