The face Of the slopes on the uppel

as the old workings continue to yield
a large quantity of high grade ore that
assays very high In gold ; the Wine

metal bearing quartz. At the first sta
ton the face OF the drift continues In
ore that assays an average of $95 Al pei
tons In this, as In the upper station,
the percentage of gold over silver Il
about 5 to /. Mining experts have ex.
amined this Claim and made careful
estimate of the ore In sight which they
compute at $500 to 5000 tons which
can be extracted at a very small cost.
The company are negotiating for the
purchase Of q mill, which, when con.
summated, will be q great saving In
the working Of the ore.

No work has been done in the shaft
since our last report. Nj. Coleman,
the Superintendent, has just returned
from San Francisco, where he has pur-
chased a holsting engine and other
machinery, for the prosecution Of work
at the mine. The foundation for the
machinery Is being laid, and the en-.
CINE Is expected to arrive tomorrow.
IA soon as the new machinery Is
erected work will be resumed In the
shaft, when 1t Ia the expectation to be
able to extract sufficient ore to pay all
running expenses.

Daily yield 90 tons Of ore, the assay
value Of which Is go per ton. There is
little or no change In the appearance
or yield Of the different ore breasts
since Jul last report. The several
prospecting drifts on the $50 and $50
foot levels are still pushed with all the
yigor possible. No material change
to report during the week. At q meet
Ing Of the Board OF Trustees held In
San Francisco February 18th, AL as
sessment Of IS per share was levied,
aggregating $4,000, delinquent tho

l60O.f level to connect with the
south drift on the same level from the
Gould & Curry shaft is making good
headway, with no change Of interest
to note. The main south drift on the
l6OO.foot level Is still driven steadily
ahead to connect with the winze from
the level above. About the usual
quantity of ore of the average quality
Is being extracted from the 14O0-foot
level and the old upper works.

At the third station the north drift Is
In twenty-five feet, carrying very fine
ore across the entire face. The south
DRIFT is In IS feet, the ore assaying very
high In gold. At the second station
the pay body Is three feet wide, and
assays $40 81 to the ton. The dump
pile Is full of ore, and the promise Of
the bullion product Of this mine Is ex.

new level will be opened, ready for the
extraction Of ore, by the lst of March.

This mine Is still shut down for

but the management expects to obtain
the necessary supply In \ short time,
when work will be again resumed.
