The rock In the face of the main
west tunnel at the 225.foot level Is
much softer than at u last report,
and admits of much better speed In the
progress of the work. The same heavy
and extensive quartz ledge which was
opened and developed at the upper
level of this mine In lS64-5 Is found
to extend to the lower level now being
worked. 1t Is much more concen-
trated, however, and contains more

The clearing out and repairing Of
the main drift is still being vigorously
driven ahead. Two shifts Of men are
employed. and they progress at the
rate of two sets Of timbers In three
days. New ground and the ledge itself
will be reached In the course OF a week
or ten days. Detached pieces OF loose
ore are frequently met with In the pro-
gress of the work, which give good
assays. One piece last Wednesday

There is no particular change to

The new pumps were all completed
in good running order, and started up
ut six o'clock last evening. The main
northeast prospecting drift on the
l500.foot level is still! driven ahead,
the face in quartz and porphyry. The
connection of the south drift on the
1000. foot level with the Savage gives
thorough ventilation, and affords the
opportunity to cross-cut and develop
that portion Of the mine.

This excellent mine continues to
yield well, keeping the mills steadily
running. The suit brought against
the Woodville by the Justice Company
is drawing towards q close. 1t Is not
a suit for title as many have supposed,
but merely for trespass, the Justice
Company alleging that the Woodyille
Company have been gouging In upon
them and taking ore from the Justice
