During the past week ore has been
rushed out at the rate Of nearly 600
tons a day, principally from the HOO.
foot level, although considerable comes
from the other ore producing levels.
The l3O0-foot level opens out richer
and richer, and is already established
to be the most valuable level yet
opened In the mine. There Is no sort
OF Indication OF the bottom OF the ore
body being reached. The east cross
cut has passed through 1t into the east
wall. aud the main incline Is now
down % feet below the 1400.foot level,
there A station will soon be opened,
and the ore body drifted Into ut that
noint. The yield of the mine for the
past month OF January Is expected to
foot up to about 100000.

Sinking the shaft Is making the usu-
al good progress, the work being
pushed with vigor and the rock In the
bottom working finely. The main
north drift on the llG7-foot level from
the Gould & Curry shaft Is still driven
vigorously ahead, TO make connection
with the shaft Mt as early a day rs pos
sible. This drift, although being run
outside Of the ledge, has cut several
stringers OF quartz aud ore, giving
ane Indications of n valuable mine,
when prosecuting shall take place.
The new hosting machinery works
splendidly-in fact, almost noiselessly
and without jar.

Sinking the incline Is making good
progress. though the rock continues
hard blasting. The damage to the cast
drift OH the l5OO-foot level, where the
body Of water Vas tapped last week,
was such that but little progress was
made In the drift during the week ; 1t
Is draining out fast, however. The
main south drift OH the 1800-foot level,
to connect with the north drift from
the Savage. Is still continued. with no
change of interest to note. Prospecting
the other parts of the niue continues
as usual.

Sinking the shaft for Q new level Is
making good progress. The timbers
for the second station are IN and every
thing In readiness to commence drift
ing. The main drift south Is still
driven ahead, the face In ore, with
little or no change In the quality since
our last report. The main north DRIFT
Is apparently near the ore chimney

Daily yield, sixty tons Of good mill
ing ore. There has been little or no
change in either the looks or yield Of
the ore breasts In the upper and mid
die portions of the mine during the
week. Prospecting the tOO.foot or
lower level goes on as usual. The
boilers and other new machinery ARE
In splendid running condition, and
will add much to the facilities for
working ore aud prospecting the lower
levels OF the mine.
Imperial Empire.
The wood work Is mostly finished,
and everything in readiness for the
new machinery to be put in place as
soon as 1t all arrives. Preparations
are being made to lower the pumps,
and everything about the works Is as
surhing proper shape for effective fu-
ture operations. Prospecting rs usual,
with no new developments Of import
ance to report.

Sinking the Incline Is making steady
progress. The main south drift on the
l6OO-foot level. to connect with the
winze from the 1500.loot level, is
making good progress. The main north
DRIFT on the 1600-foot level, to connect
with the south drift from the Gould &
Curry, Is driven vigorously ahead,
without material change OF interest
since our last report.
Mint.
The shaft Is down 90 feet, the con-
contractors making excellent prog
ress, sinking the shaft at the rate OF
four feet per day. The water In the
shaft gives little or no trouble. At the
depth OFFS feet the shaft passed through
the ledge which pitches to the north
west, so that the last 10 feet has been
sunk In the foot wall, and no ore ex-
tracted.

Daily yield l20 tons, the assay value
Of which is $3e per ton. There Is no
change of consequence In the ore pro-
duclng sections Of the mine since our
last report. The prospecting drifts on
the $50 and 950-loot levels are still
pressed vigorously ahead, with no
change Of Interest to report.

Sinking the shaft deeper goes on at
a satisfactory rate Of progress, the
water being all drained out. The main
drift west Is about 80 feet into the
ledge matter, consisting Of clay and
quartz, with very little water to in
terfere.
