A heavy body OF low grade quartz Is
found at the southern portion Of the
2nd level, and a better quantity Is an
ticipated. The drift south, at the 1900
foot level will soon connect With the
Savage drift, when a much needed air
circulation will be secured. The mine
Is very hot below the End level, there
fore work is difficult aud slow.
Buckeye.
The mine is locking we'll and giving
forth Its usual yield Of about 20 tons
per day. Owing to repairs to the mill
last week the bullion yield. was
somewhat retarded, but this week
the mill Is running again all right.
The drift east from the first level Is
now In about 300 feet. .ls.
The indications for ore at the bottom
of the shaft we're SO favorable that 1t
was thought best to stop sinking and
put the shaft In thorough condition
throughout. This Is now being done.
sinking Is resumed, and a station for
q drift Is being also put In.
Caledonia.
Main drift. second level, now In 70
feet. The rock continues very hard.
which, together with the Increasing
quantity OF water, allows Of but slow
progress. Work at other points pro-
crossing as usual with no particular
change to note.
Ophir.
The main shaft, from the 1485.foot
level, Is making good progress In sink
Ing. and some good streaks OF quartz
giving low assays, are occasionally
met with. At the 7W aud l300.fo
levels, cross-cuts are being made In IA
vorable indications.
New shaft down ITO feet and getting
along finely. Next Monday the re-

Arizona and Utah.
The drift east from the shaft Is In 81
feet. The rock Is very hard. but good
progress Is made. and the ledge will
be reached very shortly. The water
decreases, and the pump keeps 1t out
with great ease.
The ore being milled from the mine
shows improvement this week. At the
new shaft the indications arc that
when 1t Is sunk deep enough q good
body Of ore will be struck In the ledge.

Imperial.
Water interferes somewhat In sink
Ing the main incline, therefore pro-
press Is rather slow. The ore assays
at the l700-foot level average about
$50 to the ton.

Sinking the main shaft deeper makes
good progress, as also the south drift.
This DRIFT Is In l23 feet, showing ore
all the way, the widest portion being
five feet.
