Sinking the incline has made fair
progress during the past week, although
the striking Of q strong voin OF hot
water In the bottom has somewhat I'm
psded the work. The flow of water,
however, Is not so strong but what the
pump continues to handle 1t with ease
and the men suffer but little inconve-
nience except from the great heat.
The main east drift on the l500-foot
level Is making fair progress, with no
change Of material interest to report.
The main south drift OH the l800-foot
level, to connect with the north drift
from the Savage, Is making good head
way, with no new developments to re-
port. Prospecting Oh the other levels
continues as usual, with m changes Of
interest to chronicle.

But little ore has been extracted
from this mine since our last report,
the ore-dumps being all full and 1t
being impossible to get the ore hauled
to the mills. A day shift Of n few
men resumed work In the ore breasts
day before yesterday, being but little
more than a sufficient number to keep
the mine In proper repair until the ore
can be shipped to the mills. The main
north drift at the fourth station last
Tuesday tapped a heavy body Of water,
which has stopped all work In the DRIFT
for the present. and which keeps the
pump constantly at work to drain the
supply. The other prospecting drifts
are progressing as usual, with no
changes of consequence to report.
Savage.
The two cross.cuts east, from the
main south DRIFT on tho 16O0-foot level,
are making good progress, with no
changes Of Interest to report. The
main south drift. on the l6OO-foot lev
ell, to connect with the south drift
from the Gould aud Curry, is still
driven ahead without any change
worthy Of note since our last report.
The main south drift OH the 100 foot
level Il making excellent progress, the
rock In the face working well. The
daily Weld Of ore Is about 80 tons, the
assay value Of which 10 about $50 per
ton, extracted mostly from the old
upper works and the 1900 and HOO
foot lovels.

Daily yield, 65 tons of good milling
ore. There Is little or no difference In
the general appearance or yield Of the
different ore-producing sections Of the
mine since our last report. Notwith-
standing the yexatious delays eXpe-
rlenced In obtaining wood to keep the
mill running, the returns for the month
of February show that the mill crushed
during that month an average Of 82
tons Of ore per day. A supply Of coal
has been obtained, with which both the
mill and hosting works are being run
at present. and which, judging from
the short length Of time 1t has been
used, will be a decided saving In the
matter Of expense.

crease Of water from the face OF the
