ore producing levels continue looking
and yielding finely as usual, especially
the l300-foot level, which bids fair to
yield better than either OF the Others
and hold out longer. The cross-eut
east from the fifth floor above this level
Is still In ore which will average over
$40 to the ton. and the Wine from the
l200.fcot level Is down 103 feet, all the
way In fine ore. The main incline Is
down to the 1900. foot level, and the
station timbers being put In for that
level. The drift south at the l400-foot
level is in l57 feet. The receipts for
the month Of April will foot up to
over $l,l00.O 600. The dividend de-
clared on the Sth instant aggregates

This mine, from Its extremely eligi-
BILE and important location, adjoining
the Baltimore Consolidated on the
south, Is attracting considerable atten-
ton among our local stock sharps.
The recent development Of rich body
of ore In the latter mine, showing con-
tinued Improvement. has oaused quite
a stir among the holders Of franklin.
The stock. however, Is pretty closely
held, with more buyers than sellers.
The claim hiss none to conflict with 1t,
and is covered by U. s. patent, making
the title perfect.

mills are kept steadily running to
their full capacity. All the ore slopes

Nothing new since last report. Still
sinking In the ore body and taking out
ore for milling, as the prospecting de-
velopment goes ahead. This mine be-
ing In the immediate vicinity Of the
Baltimore, Franklin aud Knicker-
booker, Is liable to paFtake OF their
value. The company are making pre-
parations to sink q largo new working
shaft east Of their present works for the
more direct facility In working the
mine.
The drift south at tho 400-foot level
is progressing with favorable indica-
tlons. Some very good ore Is being
taken out near the south lilo 200 feet
below the surface. The old Waller
Defeat shaft at this point IL being sunk
for a new level 800 feet below the sur
face. The new level will be opened
about the first Of next month, when
drifting north will be commenced to
connect with the 400 level OF the old
Justice works.

Upper tunnel In $50 feet, develop
Ing a large, fine ledge Of both silver
and gold. The latest assays run from
$50 to 5000 to the ton, about one-third
of which Is silver. All the ore taken
out In running the tunnel Is carefully
saved for milling, and there is over
1000 tons OF 1t on the dump already.

A working shalt, for deeper develop

been taken from the old workings aud

The east drift at the 1900 foot level
