drifts on tho 150O-foot level are In TIL
81 me material as has lately existed
On the 1600-foot level the drift ad
ysncIne eastward u now In hard rock
Tho east drift from the incline on tn,
l7OO-foot level Is still In hard blasting
ground and Is not yet far enough I'D
yanced to reach the vein. The worl
In ali the horizontal workings Is pros
ecuted diligently and very good pro
gross 10 made.
The south drift and west cross-cuI
are progressing ahead at the rate Of
feet per day. In the cross-cut there Il
no material change since our last re-
port. In the south drift there lisa de,
clded Improvement. The pumps have
got the best OF the water In the shaft,
and have drained the l000-foot level,
The drifts are found to be somewhat
caved; having been filled with water
for three months.
Baltimore Consolidated.
A good body Of pay ore !, developed
In this mine, which will be made avail
able In due time, we'll repaying the
confidence Of stockholders. The main
shaft Is nov down l28 feet below the
third station, and being sunk deeper as
vigorously a. possible, the ground
working we'll. Nothing new to report
relative to the prospecting operations
west In the other workings.
Justice.
Ore extraction from the Waller
Defeat section, still impeded BY bad
roads not allowing the teams to re-
llevs the ore dumps, which are full to
overlooking. The north drift, at the
3OO-ioot level, continues following the
ore vein. At the 400-foot level the
cross-cut east from the main north drift
Is still pushed ahead. No developments
to chronicle In any part Of the mine.
Buckeye.
Still keeping the Hope mill running
steadily, the various ore breasts show
Ing and yielding we'll as usual. The
north drift from the 80.foot level Of the
old shaft, 400 feet north Of the incline,
of which we made mention last week,
Is now In 1876 feet, following the line
OF the ledge. 1t Is In milling ore,
which shows improvement as further
progressed into.
Sierra Nevada.
Daily yield between 90 and 20 tons,
keeping the mill Of the company stead
lily running. The mine Is looking very
we'll at present, showing improvement
In some quarters, snd the ore also
shows Improvement Ia quality. The
sinking Of the new shaft has been pre-
vented by the protrlcted snow.storm,
but this difficulty Is being obyiatsd.
Chollar-PotosL
Daily yield l25 tons, assaying $32 on
the average. The main south drift, at
the third station. IL now In ove 500
feet, and In fine looking quartz. The
ore producing sections OF the mine still
hold out we'll, and look promising,
keeping three mills constantly run
ming. Total yield OF the mine for No.
vsmber, $47,270 6S.
Yellow Jacket.
C~ross-cuttlng at the l4O0 and 1900
foot levels progresses AZ usual, with
no new developments as yet. Tho
main incline Is down Sc feet below the
1900. foot level. Tho rock Is hard but
blasts we'll, aud good progress Is made
In sinking. The pump manages what
water comes In with perfect facility.
silver Hill.
Yesterday the water In the main
SHAFT was got under control, the pumps
handling 1t with ease. The work Of
sinking Is resumed, being already so
feet below the lower level Of the mine.
The main north DRIFT shows no change.
The north winze, near the Justice linc,
Is still in good ore, and the general
appearance OF the mine Is very prom
lslng.
Now York Consolidated.
Good progress Is now being made In
sinking, as both pumps are working
admirably, keeping the water out with
ease. The hoIsting works operate as
we'll as could be wished, and the work
Is theoretically pushed to tho best adj
vantage. An assessment Of 30 cents
per share Is levied to-day.
Mint,
The work Of sinking for a now level
progresses vigorously, with an increase
Of the working force. The explora-
lions heretofore have been found to be
too neal the surface for anything more
than low grade ore, but sufficient In
ducsment In that line has been met
with to justify deeper operations.
Caledonia.
All the improvements about the
works have been completed, including
boilers, reels, etc. Work Is resumed
repairing the main shaft below the
sou foot level. The new drain tunnel
to strike the main shaft $50 feet below
the surface Is making excellent pro-
gress.
Dayton.
During the week the Woodwork
Mill. OH the Carson River, above Day
ton, has been started up on ore from
this mine. About 40 tons per day are be.
Ing extracted from the second and third
station levels, which continue to look
very promising for an extensive future
Yield.
Nevada.
The ore body In the raise above the
main south drifs shows improvement
and is widening out as further raised
upon. 1t Is being piled on the dump
for milling. This excellent chimney
Of ore will no doubt extend nearly or
quite to the surface, about 100 feet.
Utah.
The main west drift, on the 40O.level
Is now advanced over $50 feet from the
new shaft. Work on this drift 10 sus-
pended, and will not be resumed for a
few days, until the 12.inch pump Is
placed In position below the 4OO-foot
level station.
Jacob Little.
The work Of development and pros
pecting Is being pushed forward at a
lively rate, which promises we'll for
the future Of the mine. II contains =
large amount Of good pay ore, Which
will ha made available I'm due time,
