VIC Reproduce. "A snaIt has been SUM,
ON the ledge, about $50 feet, showing
throughout the entire distance a well
defined lode, varying in size from six 10
eighteen inches. Al the stratas of the
country rock lie fiat, or nearly SO, while
the VEN, standing nearly vertical, cuts
them squareiy in two, proving beyond
a doubt that it is a true assure vein. In
the bottom OF the shaft the luen have
encountered very singular formation.
On both sides are large cavities. and ia
one corner the bottom OF the shaft abso-
lutely dropped out. showing regular
cavern, perhaps foot wide and not less
than ten deep. The whole place appears
to be badly broken up, but what ore
there is is much richer than heretofore,
and there can scarcely be doubt that on
reaching firmer formation below,
the vein will be found solid and of pay
ing quality Since then the shaft has
been thoroughly timbered, and what
sinking has been done, shows the vein
slightly increasing in size. Working
three men on shift.
CAROLINE.
The main shaft, old works. thoroughly
tinrbered, is 200 feet deep. Work was
RECOMMENDED last Monday by Captain
Hardy, and the shaft has been sunk ten
feet during the week. 1t is in contem-
plation to erect hosting works on this
mine very shortly. This shaft was started
70 feet to the south of the groupings of
the vein, which, it is expected, it will cut
at the depth of $50 feet.
CHIEF OF THE HILL.
The shaft from the Burke tunnel is
now down 270 feet. There is but little
change to note in the appearance of the
slopes and drifts, the vein everywhere
maintainingits size and quality. Taking
out some ore every day. There arr
about 10 tons of ore on the dump. As
soon as the road to the mine, which was
destroyed by the railroad grading, is re-
paired, they will commence shipping to
the mill.
CHIEF EAST EXTENSION.
Drifting east from the main shaft on
the 225-foot level. The ledge has i'm
proved very much during the past week,
and now looks exceedingly well. Taking
out ore all the time, the average assay
value of which is $50 per ton.

We are still without reliable intelli.
Sence regarding this mine. To the many
stockholders who have applied to us &c
know why such intelligence is not made
public in our Mining Review, we have
only to say We cannot obtain it.
ALPS.
The lower drift is being steadily driven

fore the ledge is struck, when big thing
may be confidently looked for. Taking
out large amount of high-grade ore
from the upper works.
BowERY.
A new contract has just been let to
sink the main shaft 100 feet deeper.
Work on the contract was commenced
yesterday. When this 100 feet is cora.
pleted the shaft will be 400 feet
of 800 feet, and the mine is being placed
deep. Taking out some good ore all the
time.
