The liabilities aggregate $33,666. and
the assets 1886. exclusive Of supplies
valued ut $7.l2l. There was 8,435
tons OF ore mined and worked, which
averaged 81 80 per ton.
Union Consolidated.
This mine, claiming 800 feet on the
Comstock lode, north Of and adjoining
the Ophir, Is being very ably worked
under the superlntendence Of F. A.
Marston, n very efficient and thorough
" practical miner. A fine tunnel has
been run Immediately under the old
Colwell groupings, 230 feet In length.
cutting the ledge Mt a depth Of 200 feet
from the surface. The face Of the drift
Is IN six feet In solid quartz. with good
indications Of ore. Two hundred feet
from the mouth the tunnel cut what
appears to be the top of a body of blue
clay and quartz mixed. Thisis thought
to be the outcroppings Of the ore body
found In the old United States Tunnel
several years ago, about 400 feet lower
down. That body, although Of too low
u grade to pay tor working at that
time, would undoubtedly pay we'll
now. A winze has been started Mt this
point and good developments may be
looked for in q very short time.
Crown Psini.
Daily yield 400 tons from the HOO
and l2O0-foot levels. The ore breasts
are all looking very we'll, and the sup
ply is daily Increasing. The water be-
Ing all drained out Of the l300-foot
level, operations ut that important
point are being actively resumed with
excellent results. the assays OF ore run
ming high. Lack of proper ventilation
causes this lowest level to be yeIy hot,
probably hottor than any other place
In the Comstock. but a connection will
soon be made with the level above By
n wiuze which will materially reduce
the temperature, which Is over 100 de-
grees ut present. The Yellow Jacket
or Morgan mill, belonging to the COM
pany which has been idle for the last
few weeks from lack OF ore to work,
started up again last Wednesday and
Is now running to Its full capacity.
BeIcher.
Daily yield, 2GO tons. from the 1000
and ll0O.foot levels. Since the con-
nection with the main incline and shaft
has been completed, the mine has been
gradually cooling of, the hot dir pass
Ing out and allowing Of excellent ven-
tllation, extending up TO the seventh
floor above the 1l00-toot level; the
two floors above are still very hot.
The main incline Is being continued
down, and the station for the ll00.foot
level Is being cut and opened out for
regular ore delivery. The main DRIFT
east from the incline ut the l000-foot
level Is In 1875 feet, and the north drift
from it IS feet. The north DRIFT from
the ore body In the l000-foot level, to
connect with this last mentioned drift
Is in 200 feet, and is being pushed
ahead rapidly In tine ore, working four
six-hour shifts Of men.
Hale Il Noreross.
This mine is producing 80 tons Of
ore per day, onc-half Of which Is taken
from tho upper levels of the mine.
The work Of exploration Is being con-
tinued IN the 1900 or lowest level ; this
level Is now explored from the east 70
the west wall by cross-cuts which cross
the vein at q distance of rs feet apart.
There Is also o main DRIFT Which, runs
from the north to the south boundaries
of the mine. No ore Of value mas been
found OH this level. The sinking OF
the incline Is being continued day and
night with six hour shifts. II Is now
sunk and timbcred 100 feet below the
l500-foot level, An assessment OF 70
e share was levied OH tho sgd inst.
Consolidated Virginia
On the 5O0.foot level the south drift
Is being run south In quartz Of very
low grade; they are also cross-outtlng
east and west at n point 200 feet from
the southern boundary. No ore OF
value has yet been found. All the
drifts are In o solid vein Of quartz, and
productive pres may be encountered
any hour. On the ll86.foot level the
west cross-cut ID now In 81 feet from
the north DRIFT, and has NOT as yet
encountered the west wall Of tho vein:
The north drift Is now north from this
cross-cut so feet. 1t Is being run IN good
working ground, and east OF tile vein
another cross.cut will soon DO mado.
Savage.
The incline Is down 140 feet, In
much better sinking than heretofore.
The south drift OF the l50O-foot level
Is still pushed ahead, to connect with
the winzs from the l4O0-foot level. the
face in good picking ground. There
Is 10 difference to note In either the
quantity or the quality Of the ore ex-
tractcd. The new engine for pump
ing air to the lower levels works spleii-
didIy, forcing down n much better
supply than the old one. and greatly
facilitating the work In oil the lower
levels Of the ming.

The incline is down l29 feet below
the l5OO-foot level, In fair sinking
ground. The north drift, eighth sta:
ton, Is In 40 feet In n mixture OF
quartz and porphyry. The east DRIFT,
tenth station, Is In 23S feet. the face In
p%orphyry. The south drift, tenth sta
