The new machinery was started up
day before yesterday, everything
working with the most clock-like pre-
ciSion and perfection. Tho work Of
draining the shalt was commenced yes
terday morning with the two large
water tanks, since which time the
water has been lowered In tho shaft
about 100 ieet, the two tanks holsting
at the rate Of about $4,000 gallons per
hour. AS soon "a the water In the
shalt Is sufficiently lowered to admit
of it, the pump will also be started up,
and the water soon be drained SO as to
admit Of a speedy resumption Of work
in the mine.
All work In the prospecting drifts
north, In first, second and third levels,
Is stopped for the present. the quantity
Of ore In sight being sufficient to keep
the mills running for the next six
months. The face Of the drifts when
stopped were still In good ore, but
without more facilities for crushing
the ore, further prospecting Is deemed
unnecessary at the present. The mine
certainly never looked better than at
this time. Sufficient ore 10 being ex-
tracted from the deposits already de-
veloped to keep the Hope and Sher-
man mills steadily running.

Daily yield $50 tous Of ore worth
$3l per ton. The work Of retimbering
the station ut the head Of the incline,
and repairing the incline, Is steadily
progressing. The new air compressor
is ready to DO started up a. soon as a
supply Of air Is needed on the lowe
levels. Tho ore breasts IN the differ
ent ore producing stations Of the mine
are yielding about the usual amount OF
milling ore.

All work..in. the Incline b. stopped 1t
present on account Of inability Of the
machinery to do the holsting. The pros

crosses as usual, with no new develop

the new addition to. the main hosting
works building, for the new mac hlne-
ry, is being rapidly raised aud will
soon be ready for enclosure.

Notwithstanding u report OF last
week, work in the shaft has not yet
been resumed. on account Of a disap-
pointment In procuring the necessary
supply OF wood. The delay Is being
taken advantage OF to make some nee
essary improvements to the hosting
works, so that when a supply OF fuel
Is obtained no further stoppage may
be ~apprsheded.
CsIedssis,
Cleaning out and repairing the main
south drift OIL the 400-foot level Of tho
new shaft is making good progress.
The north DRIFT on tho 400-foot level Of
the new works Is cleaned out and re-
paired, and work In the face Is again
resumed. The south drlft on the 800
