Two large new boilers with 81 3-incf
tubes and 10 feet In length, have been
added to the works, increasing the ca
pacity Of the hoistlug power about one
third.

No ore Is at present extracted from
this mine. The explorations on the
lower levels are principally directed
eastward. The oross drifts on the
1900, 1000 and 100 foot levels are be-
ing driven ahead without intermission.
There Is no change to report In the ap'
pearance Of the ground penetrated by
these c~rosscuts since our last report.
On the l700.foot or lowest level, the
rock Is Of increased hardness. An as

levied.

Ing a new shaft. They have a perfect
title to COO feet of that portion and
will contest vigorously for the remain

most important locations on that Sec

later will assume its proper position

Nevada.
The extraction Of ore from the large
body extending from the south drift
toward the surface has been com
menced. Sufficient milling tests have
been made to give the assurance that
the company have almost an incalcu-
liable amount Of ore near the surface
easily mined and can be taken out
through the tunnel. and which will
pay a good fair profit for working.
