Drifting and prosecuting on the 800
level Is still continued with no new
developments to note. The erection
Of the new hosting works Is making
all the progress possible, taking Into
consideration the unavoidable delays
In obtaining the necessary supplies,
caused by the railroad blockade.

The incline Is down 3l7 feet below
the l5oo-foot level, and taking into
consideration the extreme hardness OF
the rock, the sinking Il making excel
lent progress. Aside from sinking the
incline and cutting out for q new
pump station at the 1700-foot level,
but little has been done In the mine
during the week. There are rumors of
n strike OF some kind having been
made somewhere on the lower levels,
which may or may not have q founda-
ton, it being literally impossible to
ascertain the truth Of the report.

Daily yield 100 tons Of ore, worth
s2S per ton. The different ore breasts
of the old mine are still yielding well,
though the average quality Of ore Ia
not Of so high a grade as heretofore.
Retimbering the station at the head Of
the incline preparatory to clearing 1t
out and then sinking and prospecting
the lower levels Is progressing steadi-
ly. The pumping and other new ma
chinery works splsndidly, and the
holsting works and shaft were never

lower levels than at present.

The main west DRIFT and tho north
west drift on the 400-foot level Of the
new works are still pressed vigorously
ahead with no material change since
our last report. The south drlE on
the 300-foot level Of the old works Is
In q mixture OF clay. quartz and por-
phyry, the body OF clay cut through at
right angles last week appearing to
form a semi-clrcle and again cross the
line Of the drift. The water In the
shaft is being rapidly lowered, which
will soon allow the resumption Of
work on the 700-foot level.

Nc ore is being extracted from the
mine, on account Of the stoppage Of
the company's mill, It being lmpossl-
BILE to obtain a sufficient supply OF
wood to keep the mill running. The
mine was never looking better than at
present. Opening and prospecting
the different levels, preparatory to fu-
ture operations. goes steadily on. Du-
ring the week a large body Of excel
lent ore has been developed 10 the
south mine, between the first and sec.
ond stations, giving promise Of q valu-
able deposit.

The north DRIFT at the first station
has cut, and 10 still running through q
body Of fine ore. The Wine from tho
old upper works to connect with the
north drift Is passing down through an
excellent body Of ore, supposed to b
part of the same struck In the north
drift, showing both valuable and ex-
tenslve deposit. Tho south drift Is
still driven ahead with no change Of
interest to note.

The main east drift Is In 100 feet In
good working ground, having passed
through the fine body Of ore struck two
weeks since. That body bears the ap-
pearance OF becoming both q valuable
and extensive deposit when prospected
the north and south. Sinking the
shaft Is making rapid progress, the

This company has been enabled to
accomplish comparatively little during
the week, owing to the delay Of their
machinery occasioned by the railroad
blockade, but hope to receive the most
of 1t to-day, which, II they do, will
enable them to again commence
work In the shaft and drifts.

The new SHAFT Is down q little over
800 feet, the sinking again making sx-

water Is steadily decreasing. greatly
facilitating the work In the shaft.
Prospecting the mine through the old
works goes on as usual.
