There has been but little change In
the general appearance Of the soO-foot
level during tho week. The ore breasts
between the 400 and 1500-foot levels
are not looking nor yielding up to the
usual average. and the daily yield has
decreased to about 40 tons. The main
drift south on the 1700-foot level Is still
driven ahead, with no change OF ma
terlal interest to report. The cross
cuts on this level have failed so far to
develop any valuable ore bodies.

There Is but little change In either
the looks or daily yield Of the different
ore producing sections of the mine
since our last report. The main north
west prospecting drift at the fourth
station Is still driven steadily ahead,
the ground In the face working better
than 1t has before for the past two
weeks. Much better progress with this
drift may now be looked for.

.The ore breasts In the north mine at
the first station continue to yield the
usual quantities of good ore. keeping
the Sapphire mill steadily running.
The main west drift at the second sta

mine is now in good working condi-
ton and good results may soon DO

There is no change of Importance In
the mine since our last report. The
different ore producing sections are all
looking and yielding finely. About
the usual amount OF prospect
ing Is being done on the different lev
els, with no important Developments
to record. The Hope mill Is kept
steadily running, crushing ore from
the mine.
The main west drift on the l000.foot
level is still pushed steadily ahead
without change Of interest for tho
week. Both the north and south side
drifts are making fine progress. Each
Of the three drifts have made about 25
feet advance during the week. Pre-
parations are being made to again re-
sumo sinking the shaft In q very short
time.

Owing to the heavy pressure of the
ground, and giving way Of n set Of
timbers In the shaft. work In the drift
was temporarily suspended during the
latter part Of the week. The necessary
repairs are about completed, however,
and the water drained. ready to re-
sumo work In the drift this morning.
Good Developments may soon be looked
for.

prosperity.

commence sinking at the earliest pos
sible moment. 1t Ia expected that
sinking the shaft will be resumed In
about q week, when some good devel-
opments may be looked for.
The raise from the lower tunnel to
connect with tho old upper works Is
still making good progress, following
tho vein and passing through some
very good milling ore. They have
about $50 feet to raise yet to make
the connection.

One mill, the Ramsdell &c Thomp-

this evening or tomorrow morning,
and the lone mill day after tomorrow.
The mine Is In fine working condition,

Some fine ore has been developed In
the east drift on the 400 foot level dur

portions OF the mine continues as
usual, with some excellent prospects
of good Developments In a very short
time.
