ployed during the week in blasting of
and leveling the surface Of the krotnd
for the new hosting works. Sinking
the new shaft has been commenced
and Is making good progress. The
erection Of temporary holsting works
for the winter will soon be completed.
The prospecting drifts In the old Sac
ramento ground are still driven vigor-
ously ahead, with flattering prospects
of the development Of paying bodies
of ore. The ore slopes In the old up
mar works are both looking and yield
Inc finely. Daily yield, go tons Of ore,
keeping the company's mill steadily
crushing. A shipment on the 22d In
slant amounted to $3.50 "a, being the
result OF 10Y days run.
Argent.
This mine Is an old location, is situ-
ated on Middle Hill, west Of the Ophir,
between the Cole mine and Cedar Hill.
A shaft was sunk OH the east wall Of
the ledge, 100 feet In depth, In 1868,
and a considerable quantity Of ore ex-
tracted which mllle1 $34 per ton. But
a severe Winter coming on and all the
owners being poor men, the work was
abandoned for q time. A few weeks
since work was again resumed under
the Superintendence Of Mr.. a.. E.Rice,
OF San Francisco. The old shaft has
been cleaned out and repaired to the
depth of " feet, and It Is the intention
to commence the extraction Of ore as
soon as the level Ia reached from which
the ore was extracted In early times.
Justice.
Daily yield IS tons of ore. The
main north drift on the 4o0-foot level
Is still driven ahead. The west cross
cut from this drift, 200 feet north Of
the shaft. Is daily expected to cut the
ledge. The Wine in the main south
Drift on the 40O.foot level Is making
good progress downward, the pros
pects Of good ore developments In tliis
portion Of the mine being steadily on
the increase. The raise from the north
drift on the 300.foot level Is making
excellent progress and Will soon con-
meet with tho level above.
baltimore Consolidated.
Sinking the shaft Is making rapid
progress, the ground in the bottom be-
ing quite soft and working finely. 1t
Is now down SO feet below the third sta
ton. There is still a steady Improve
meat In the quality Of the ore at the
first station. There Is also considera-
BILE improvement In the ore found In
the crosscut from the north drift at the
third station. Nothing new to report
Of other portions OF the mine.
Julia.
The water In the shaft has been re-
duced 10 within "a feet of the l00O.foot
station. The main southwest drift, at
the 90O-foot station, Is pushed vigor-
ously ahead. the indications In the face
being excellent for good ore develop
monts seon. Inc west cross.cut from
this drift Is expected to cut the ledge
In a very short time. The prospects
Of this mine are certainly quite fiatter-
Ing at the present.
New York Consolidated.
Tho connections between the new
boilers and the engines are completed.
The old pump has been taken out and
the new one Is being put In to-day.
The water in the shaft Is being kept
down by hosting with the tanks, which
are kept steadily running. 1t Will
take nearly a week yet to get the ma
chInery all In place and In good work.

silver Hill.
Owing to the striking Of a heavy
flow Of water In the main south drift,
at the second station, work In the shaft
has been suspended for a greater part
Of the week. Prospecting In the north
drift, at the second station, Is still
proving more concluSively the great
extent and value Of the ore deposits
already developed. The mine Is look
ing we'll throughout and promises an
excellent yield Of ore for the future.
Bclohor.
Daily yield, 500 tons of ore, prlncl-
from the 1000. 1900 and 130O-foot lev
els. The main incline Is down lS4
feet below the 1300.foot level. The
drift OH the same Lowell running south
ward from the Crown Point line Is In
400 feet. still In ore. The Wine from
the l20O.foot level Is down Ill feet.

Dayton,
The main north drifts Mt both the
second and third stations, are still In
good ore. The raise, between the first
and second stations, has been widened
and put In good order for the ex-
traction of ore. The main south drlft
at tho second station, Is also In fine
ore !; In TACT, the mine throughout was
never looking better than at the
present.

Sinking the old incline Is making

still In good orc. Tho ore breast: In
the north drift on the 300-foot level Is
looking and yielding finely. The
erection OF tho new hosting works
building Is making steady progress.
Savage.
Sinking the main incline Is making
better progress, the rock in the bottom
working much softer. The east cross.
cut from the main north drift near the
Gould & Curry limo Is still driven to
the eastward without change OF inter-
est to note.
The west DRIFT from the shaft on the
4c0-foot level Is now 16S feet in length.
There Is no very important change in
the character OF the rock. The tank
pit at the 400. foot level station Is com.
pleted. A pump-tank will be erected
during the coming week.
