from the, shaft, having reached the
east clay wall of the vein and pen
etrated it twelve feet, but Is not yet
through 1t. The clay carries metal In
very encouraging quantities, which Is
a favorable indication Of the existence
Of ore behind It. We have not yet re-
ceiyed returns from the latest samples
taken from the face Of the drift. This
DRIFT will strike tha orc vein about the
center Of the mine and directly be.

Sinking the main incline Is making
good progress, there being little or no
change In the character Of the rock en-

exploring drifts on the lower levels are
still prosecuted With the utmost vigor,
and no changes Of value to report.
The Hoosler State mill, Immediately
adjacent to the mine, will be started
up OIL ore from the mine In a very few
days. The distance from the mine to
the mill being so very short tho stormy
Winter weather can cause no delay In
the transportation Of q sufficient guam
tlty of ore to keep the mill running.

The ore slopes at the second station
are locking and yielding finely, as are
also those at the third station. A shute
Is being constructed from the first to

the orc lying between the two levels.
About IS tons OF ore Is being extracted
per day. Tho Woodwork mill was
