January 3lst, embraced $4,000. In
three assessments from stockholders
and $6,51l from other sources, mostly
from advanced money. At the com

nearly full OF water, and $4,000 wa:
expended In getting rid Of 1t. The
total expenses were 800, 525, leaving
$S6 cash Oh hand. The assets in prop
erty and improvements aggregate $32,'
42l, against which there are Bills pay

Yielding about as at last report,
Night before last m eight hour shit
Of men sent up $40 car loads Of ore
from the 1100-foot level, aggregating
over $40 tons, being the greatest
amount ever sent out Of any mine on
the Comstock ledge In the same length
Of time. The mine looks splendidly
at all points, especially SO at the 1900
foot level. At this level a cross-cut
east Is started from tho third floor, al
the Belcher line, which Is now IN
about ten feet In very rich ore. The
drift north at this level Is still In good
ore and a cross-cut Is started from 1t to
the east, which Ia In seven or eight
feet In good ore. Tho main incliue Ia
still sinking and the DRIFT south from
1t at the l4O0.foot level Is driven ahead
energetically.
Beleher.
Daily yield, $50 tons. This mine Is
yielding unusually we'll at present,
and the prospect is that the receipts
will foot up to $500, 900 or moro this
month. The ore-breasts at the 1000,
100 and 120O-foot levels hold out
finely, and a general improvement In
the character OF the ore Is noticeable.
The 1900 Is looking and yielding
especially we'll. The drift ut the 1900
foot level from the Crown Point mine
has passed Into the Belcher ore-body.
which Is Of very rich character at that
point. The ore extracted Is taken out
through the Yellow Jacket shaft. The
Sunderland mill started up OH Belcher
ore on the 18th instant.
Empire;
Work Is resumed In the Empire
mine. under the active supervision Of
Superintendent Archie Borland. At
the l6OO-foot level, toward the south
end, some very good ore Ia found,
assays as high as $500 to the ton.
The average assay Of 1t Is about $50 to
the ton. The body Is Is or 80 feet
wide. A wlnze so feet farther south
Is down IS feet. and at the bottom a
body Of ore Is feet wide Is developed.
The principal work tor the present,
however, consists in pushing the main
drift south to connect with tho Yellow
Jacket for air, etc., after which 1t is
proposed to extract ore from the de-
deposit mentioned.
savage.
The incline Is down below the 1900
foot level and the new 1700-foot sta
ton Is nearly completed. The main
drift south on the 160O.foot level Is
still driven ahead to connect with the
south WINE from the level above,
though tho connection will not proba-
bly, be made for ten days yet. The
main north drift to connect with the
south drift from the Gould 4 Curry 10
making steady progress. with nothing
new to report. About the usual
amount Of ore Is being extracted from
the upper levels.

Sinking the main north Wine on the
l500-foot level Is making excellent
progress, although the rock In the bot
tom 10 quite hard. The main north
drift on the l700.foot level, to connect
with winze from the 1900, Is making
good progress, with excellent indlca-
tons Of fine ore developments. The
yield of the ore breasts between the
and ninth, and the ninth and
tenth stations, continues good, aud
taken altogether, the prospects Of the
mine are quite encouraging.
ChsuarPstssi.
Daily yield, 40 tons Of ore, the assay
value Of which Is $S3 per ton, showing
a large decrease in the daily yield,
which Is mostly owing to inability to
get the ore hauled to the mills, the
all being full. There Is little
or no change In the looks or yield Of
the different ore-producing sections Of
the mine. The prospecting drifts on
both the $50 and 950-foot levels are
still driven ahead, with no change Of
interest to chronicle.

The main drift east, at the 1500-foot
level, from the incline, has not yet
reached the ledge, although It must be
getting pretty near to 1t. Water does
not interfere with the progresSof the
work rs yet. The main drift east, at
the l400.f foot level. meets with no sign
of the east wall. The 1300-foot level
has reached the north line, and tho
cross-cutting at that point develops
some very good indications Of a valua-
bic body Of ore.

The main east drift on the 1500-foot
level is again making fair progress,
the water In face gradually decreasing.
The main south drift on the 1600-foot
level, to connect with the north drift
on the same level from the Savage, Is
still driven ahead with no change Of
interest to report. Prospecting on the
other levels continues, as usual, with
nothing new to report. Sinking the
incline Is making good progress, though
the rock In the bottom Is quite hard.
