Daily yield, 400 tons, from the ore
sections of tho four lowest levels, all
OF which continue looking and yield
ing we'll as usual. The main incline
Is down 67 feet below the l3OO-foot sta
ton. The rock at the bottom is hard,
lint works we'll. The drift from the
incline to meet the drift south from
the ore slopes Of tho 1900 foot level Is
In SO feet, and being driven ahead rs
fast as bossible. The south DRIFT afore-
said Is In 327 feet from the Crown Point
line, with the face still In good pay
ore, and the cross-cut east Is In 10 feet,
ali the way In excellent ore. The

Extracting the usual amount Of ore
which is taken from the body south of
the shaft, and from the ore deposit
north of the same. During the week
farther north and 90 ieet from the
Justice line, some very good ore a
been found which bids fair to n sub
stantisl and permanent body. The
work Of prospecting In the second sta
ton aud driving the main drift north
is being pushed forward vigorously.
The general appearance Of the mine Is
good.
InpcrIal.
No particular change to note In the
appearance Of the mine since last re-
port, aud no new ore developments.
A seam of clay IL cut through In the
east drift at the l70O.foot level. but the
rock beyond It appears about the same
rs that already passed through-no ore
m t.. Some little water Is encounter
ed, but no sign of east wall. The south
drift ut that level Is still In quartz, and
of a more favorable character than
heretofore. The main incline Is 14O
feet below the 1700.ioot level, making
G or Z feet per week.
sutro Tunnel.
Total length 1910 feet. Besides
working In the face OF the main tunnel,
work Is resumed In shaft No. /, which
Ia down to tho tunnel level, drifting
both east and west on the line OF the
tunnel. Over 100 feet Of tunnel has
thus been made through this shaft dur
ing the past week or 30. Operations
arc about being resumed at the other
three shafts along the line.
Mint.
Still drifting ahead along the ledge
at the second level, with very cncour-
aging indications. Another level
below would moro effectually and sat
isfactorily test this mine, and the COM
pany will doubtless soon decide to sink
their main shaft deeper for this pur-
pose. The ledge so far as explored
shows finely, the rock being OF excel
lent and most promising character.

Driving the east drift On the soO-foot

Character Of rock black, dirty looking,
and carrying very little metal. Lower

About 90 feet Of water remaining
above tho l000.foot level. Have just
placed In position a new engine to-

started up yesterday.

Main west drift in 75G feet, the face
showing quartz and other vein matter
Of q very encouraging character. The
oss.c cut to the southwest Is In 1857
feet, with the face In hard rock. which
works well. however, and looks fine.
The general progress OF work In tins
mine Is very satisfactory.
Empire.
At the 1700-foot level the east cross
cut has passed through a clay seam,
and tho rock beyond is softer, allowing
of better progress. This drift will be
run east till sure Of being beyond the
east wall. a drift Is being run north
from the winze, q short distance below
the l80O-foot level, In a place which
promises good ore development.
CheIIar.PstssI.
Daily yield 145 tons. giving average
assays from car samples Of 1873 per ton.
The old ore sections continue looking
we'll, aud the ore from the east drift
recently run from the west Blue wing
section yields the same rs last week
about $40 per ton.

In this mine the work Of extending
the lower tunnel Is continued, with
catering prospects as to the quality
and extent Of the orc vein. The ORE
breasts In the upper and lower tunnels
are looking we'll. The mill Is con-
stsntly employed IN reducing the ore.

Extracting about 90 tons per day OF
ore, taken from the 400 and 50O-foot
levels. Furnishing the Sapphire mill,
aud ore accumulating. The new
developments OH the 600-foot level
shows material Improvement both In
tho quantity and the quality OF ore.

We have no particular news OF I'm
portancs to record relative to this
mine this week.. Work ID going ahead
at upper and lower levels as usual.
Water troubles considerably, especially
at tho lower Lowell. but 1t Is draining
out fast.
