level, Is opening out much better thar
was expected. The ore Is being breast
ed out ut that point six sets Of timber
In width, and assays run high through
out. The face of the south drift Is ir
porphyry, and quartz with q streak o.
ore. This drift, as we have before
stated, is being u between the main
ore body and the west wall, In
a direct course toward the incline. The
l3OO.foot level Is not opened yet, but
from what Is known of 1t through the
Grown Point, and by wines sunk from
the 1900, 1t bids fair to prove the rich
est level of any. The sinking of the
incline, and work at all points In the
mine progresses as at our last report.
The second dividend for the year was
declared on the 9th instant Of 80 per
share, aggregating $4,000 payable
next Monday.
Crown PsInt.
Daily yield about 500 tons, a large
portion Of which Is from tho lSOO-foot
level. The ore body Il opening out at
this point better sven than was ex.
pected by the most sangulne, the ore
being of extra fine character. The
other levels are looking finely, as
usual, and In fact the whole mine Is In
II wonderfully prosperous condition,
developing splendldly toward the
south at the lowest level. A dividend
of s. per share, aggregating $500. 900.
Is declared today, payable on the 18th
-next Wednesday.
yellow Jacket.
The 1500.foot level main drift east is
being driven ahead and has. 1t Is estl-
mated, about 30 feet to 60 In order to
reach the ledge. Nothing new at the
14OO-foot level orin the north driit and
cross.cuts at the l300-foot level. The
winze being sunk from this level down
to the 400 Is nearly completed. 1t Is
300 feet from tho north line Of the
mine, and will form q much needed air
connection.
The shaft Is not being sunk deeper
ut present, owing to the great influx OF
water from the ledge at the bottom,
where sone very fine, rich silver sui.
phuret ore Is developed. The Super
intendent Is now In San Francisco COLI
tracing for the requisite holsting ma
chinery which will be erected rs soon
rs possible and the development Of
this valuable mine proceeded with.
silver Cleud.
The slopes and face Of tho upper and
lower drifts are looking aud yielding
splendidly. Twenty tons daily, OF
high grade ore, Is being shipped to
mills, and the Superintendent esti-
mates that there Is fully 1000 tons Of
ore in sight, which can he extracted at
very small cost and excellent profit.
The prospects Of this niue are at least
rs good as any In the district.
Bounty.
This mine is situated In Spring Val
ley, DEVILS Gate District. A shaft las
been sunk to the depth Of 100 feet on
the ledge. which at that depth shows a
fine vein of good ore ~ feet In width.
A quantity Of ore taken from the
Quinn, an adjoining claim on the same
ledge, milled 81 per ton. The owners
feel confident that they possess q valu-
able mine.
Buckcye.
Owing to the bad state of the roads
the ore could not be transported to the
mills from the mine, but there Is
enough already hauled to keep them
running for n week yet. Meanwhile
tho ore extracted Is accommodating on
the dumps of the mine. The mlne
itself Is looking aud yielding excel
lently as usual.
Baltimore Co~nseiidated.
Shaft down 443 feet with the bottom
In very hard blasting rock at present.
The drift west at the 250-foot level Is
In 3Ol feet with the face In porphyry
and quartz. some Of which gives low
assays. IN three or four weeks longer
the shaft will b. deep enough to allow
Of another station being opened.
CheliuF-Potosi.
Daily yield 80 tons, the assay value
of which Is $3S per ton, showing a de-
crease In the daily yield of 40 tons Of
ore per day for the week. The pros
pectlng drifts on both the $50 aud O5O-
foot levels are pushed with all the Wig
or possible. and no change Of conse-
Quence during the week.
Alamo.
The labor Of hosting by hand from
the shaft being too great for the Nell
to endure. preparation b. being made
to erect machinery with which to do
the hosting. The main north tunnel
is In l2O feet, making fair progress
though the rock In the face works quite
hard.
The main DRIFT from the shaft In the
canyon has cut a vein Of ore ~ feet
in width, aud the course Of the drift
was then changed so rs to follow and
prospect the vein. Nothing doing in
the new shaft east Of the hill yet.
Justice.
Work Is resumed IN this mine, under
the most favorable auspices. There Is
considerable water to conteud with.
but It Is being brought under control.
Good developments may DO looked Tor
shortly.
The drift to connect with the shaft
is in 43 feet. The raise from the main
tunnel Is mp 80 feet, the face showing
some excellent Indications Of good ore.
There Is not sufficient water to impede
the work.
Picteu.
Work In the tunnel suspended at
present until the requisite timbers aud
car track material eau be procured.
Sinking the incline deeper Is progress
ing, and q cross.cut being made from 1t
about 200 feet below the surface.
Overman.
The pump continues to handle the
flow of water with ease. and Is gradu-
ally draining the supply. The main
west drift Is still driven ahead as usual.
