1000 and 130O-foot levels, ths orr
breasts Of which all look splendldly,
those Of tho two lowest especially. The
connection was made between the
north and south drifts at the 1200-fopi
level last Wednesday, but through a
slight inaccuracy Of the survey. the
floor of one Is four feet above that oil
the other, nec~essitating the grading
down of about 100 feet In order TO give
an EASY grade to the car track. When
this IL done. the ore from the 1000 and
l3OO.foot levels will pass out through
the 12OO-foot station and up through
the company's incline and shaft. The
main incline Is now down 1N feet,
with the bottom In dry. hard blasting
rock. Drifting south Is resumed In
the main drifts at the l300-foot level,
the drift passing to the west Of the ore
body, and toward the incline. Two
new boilers have just been received
and will soon be put In position at the
north side Of the works In place Of the
Root boiler now In use.
Green Mine.
This ~adjoins the Silver Hill on the
south. 1t was first worked IN 1860. A
tunnel was. run In q distance Of 400
feet, with three branches. cutting sew
eral rich feeders, Indicating a body OF
ore below. This induced the sinking
Of a shaft 200 feet below the bottom OF
the tunnel, which struck q fne blue
ledge OF silver ore eight or ten feet
wide, giving average assays Of from
$50 to $50 per ton. The air being bad
and the facilities for working poor aud
expensive, the company suspended
operations, and In the general and
lengthy mining depression which fol-
lowed, gradually lost Interest In their
mine, until last Winter, when they
tried to reopen and repair the shaft,
but found IL In too bad q condition,
therefore abandoned II. They now
propose running another tunnel Into
the steep hill, which will strike the
ledge considerably below the present
workings, and should also pass through
other good lodges In Its way, which
show good paying deposits at the sur
face, now being millsd with profit.

Jacob Little.
Drifting ahead in the upper mine as
usual, with most excellent prospects,
the ore assaying as high as $50 per
ton. The company have succeeded In
purchasing the old Manhattan. Bowen
and Martin claims adjoining the Jacob
Little, and a. soon as q mill can be
procured will proceed to reduce = few
hundred tons Of the fine ore they have
accumulated OIL the dump. The Jacob
Little Is one Of the best locations on
Cedar Hill. and has plenty Of good
pay ore in sight.

This adjolns the 0verman on the
south, and Is considered a very eligible
aud important location. Its north
line being only 800 feet from the Over
man Co.'S. new shaft, arrangements
are about being made with that COM
pany to allow the working OF the South
Overman Co.'S. ground through their
shaft. Mr. Theodore Phelps the Super
l%ntendent, has gone to San Francisco
for that purpose.

next 100 feet, and another will soon
be let for the removal Of the holsting
works from the old shaft to this new
one. The Daney company have, after
long, persistent and energetic working,
evidently got or the right track ut last.
They deserve success. aud will achieve

No work could be done since then, nor

The working force Is increased and
operations are being pressed forward
vigorously. The csr.track In the lower
tunnel and the re.tlmbering will short

main ledge will be resumed. The tun-
mel Ia already In ledge matter, and has
cut through several feeders giving high
assays, indicating a good ledge ahead.
