The work of enlafging the shaft TO
a third compartment is making goot
progress, being prosecuted at severa
different points along the line Of thu

Consolidated Virginia.
Cutting out for the third compart-
mens Of the shaft Is nearly completed,
there being ouly about As feet left to
excavate. When that Is finished the
shaft will be as fine a three compart-
nent shaft for 1900 feet In depth as
there Is on the line Of the Comstocx.
The new hoistlng aud pumping ma
chinery Is all In place ready to start
no as soon as the shaft Is completed.
The Gould & Curry dump Is kept full
Of high grade ore that will mill from
$l75 to $2O0 per ton. This ore Is be-
Ing extracted through the 1lG7-foot
level tunnel from the Gould & Curry
shaft, aud will be greatly increased as
soon as work can be resumed In the
company's shaft.
Arizona, Utah and Globe.
In explanation Of our heading, we
will state that what has heretofore
been known as the Arizona and Utah
shaft Is being sunk directly on the
line between the Arizona & Utah
and the Globe claims, being owned
conformity between the two claims,
each company paying one.half the ex-
pense OF the hosting works and the
sinking. The main west drift ut the
40O.f station Is IN so feet, making
excellent Roadway, the rock In the
face working quite soft. It Is expected
that this drift will tap the main ledge
In about fifty feet more. Sinking the
incline Is making good progress, tho

The raise from the main north drift
at the 3O0-foot level Of the old works,
Is up 80 feet, still In good ore. Cross
cuts to determine the width and extent
Of the body have been started. The
prospects In this part of the mine arc
certainly very flattering. During the
week connection was made between
the main south drift on the 400.foot
level and the Silver Hill, giving a fine
circulation Of pure air. A winze has
been started near the south line to
prospect the level below. Both the
north and the south drifts ut the $50.

are being driven steadily ahead with
no material change Of interest to note.

Daily yield 60 tons OF ore. There Is
considerable improvement In the ore
body near the Justice line, developed
by the main north DRIFT at the first sta
ton. The raise In the south drift,
first station, continues to show I'M
provement. Connection has been made
between the north drift at the first sta
ton and the south drift from the JUS
tice, affording fine ventilation for that
part Of the mine. The prospecting
drifts at the second station arc
still driven vigorously ahead, showing
a steady Improvement. Sinking the
main shaft has not yet been resumed
on account of the steady flow Of water.
