Wright, Smith and Hughes, to whom we
trust it will prove fortunate discovery.

tells us that the tunnel is
now something over 200 feet in length.
The work is being urged forward as
rapidly as the nature of the ground will |
permit. About halfway from the mouth
of the tunnel some rich ore was struck, |
and shaft is being sunk on the vein
containing it. 1t is down about % feet,
and the vein shows well at the bottom.
Assays have been made from the ore
which gave big figures. As an example
of the extreme richness OF some of this
ore, yesterday Capt Ketton took eleven
ounces Troy and had the silver extracted
at the Assay Office, when, much to his
establishment, he received one ounce of
silver, 925 fine, as the returns from the
eleven ounces of ore. 1t is thought that
the ledge, which is 21s feet wide, will
average $3.50 per ton.
PIoCHE.-On calling at the Office of
this company our reporter was most
courteously received by Mr.. John Mel
son, the new Superintendent, who, in
answer to inquiries concerning the
workings of the mine, stated that the
work OF sinking the incline had been
temporarily stopped-a depth of AGO feet
having been attained. The work of
st topping and drifting on the several levels
was steadily proceeding, and that other
wise there was but little change to
report. .r,
FLORAL MILL.-The grading for this
mill is nearly completed. Acontract has
been let for the mason work. A board

agement of Mr.. j. c. Clark, superinten-
dent. seconded by the foreman of the
works, Mr.. Hutchins, matters are pro-
crossing as rapidly as circumstances per-
init.
BALTIc.-Work is going on vigorously
on this mine. The incline has reached
a depth of 80 feet, showing ledge at
the bottom of about three feet IA width.
The vein carries considerable ore which
assays about 1925 per ton. From pres
ent appearances and the favorable situa-
ton of the mine-being located between
the Ivanhoe and Townsend-the owners
believe it will soon prove to be valuable
property. . ..

has been sunk $50 feet from that point, a
cross-cut run 80 feet. from the further ex-

quite a favorable appearance.
MARIoN.-Of this mine Mr.. Charles
Dale is Superintendent. The shaft is
about 100 feet in depth. II is intended
to form station when the shaft attains
depth of 100 feet, from which point q
drift will be started. The ledge is five
; feet in width in which rich ore is found
assaying as high as $500 per ton. witt
