THE WASHINGTON Il CREOLE.
c;rc4 our last report, has made what we
oon.ider very important Developments.
Th,ss wines have been sunk on the

,.st in each of which is found ore assay
Inn os per certificates Of Is assays which
we have inspected, s435 per ton in gold
and silver, the percentage in gold being
unusually high, and one certificate show
inc lo5i.O3 in gold per ton. An addi-
,;o,oI force of 100 men have been re-
Gently engaged, and as soon as room can
he made stopping and drifting from the
haitian Of the wines will be commenced.
Til, wines will be connected by drifts
from the bottom, and new wines will be
started TO further the value Of this de-
rosit. The milling of this ore will be
commenced on or about the 23d Of this
month. They are hosting now from Is
to 20 tons of ore per day, and when the
mine is fully opened, much more will be
eItracted The Superintendent conf
deptly believes that before the end of the

bIe deposits will be developed.
