the 1300-foot level, 40 feet from the
Belcher line, Is In good ore, but the
face Of tho cross. cut east from the fifth
floor has run through into porphyry,
which IL thought to be the east wall.
Drifting progresses as usual at the
1400-foot level. and the timbers for the

Daily yield, IS tons, keeping both
mills at work. The ore Is yielding
we'll, as the bullion shipments have
been about ST. 600 per day, but the full
returns will not be definitely ascer-
tanned until the last of the month,
when the mills make a clean up. The
north part Of the mine Is looking es-
pecialiy we'll, and there Is plenty Of
ore already In sight to keep the mills
running for several months.
Mint.
The main east drift at the 75.foot
level has just cut through another fine
looking ore vein three feet In width,
pieces OF which shown Us this morning
will evidently assay rich. The super
intendent IL Of the opinion that the
main ore vein is close at hand. With
such Indications rs exist ut the surface
and also these rich feeders leading TO 1t.
there can be but little doubt as to what
1t will prove TO be when reached.
OverIns..
The main west drift is being contin-
ued ahead, the rock working iavorably.
Drifting both north and south In the
ledge Is also being actively prosecuted
the faces Of the drifts showing granite
and porphyry with streaks Of quartz.
The water In the shaft Is decreasing.

Daily yield about 70 tons. The
cross-cattlng, at the 170O.foot level,
shows improvement In the vein mat

out well as'yet. The r~etimbering aud
repairs Of the shaft will be completed
In about two weeks.
Nothing new to report since last

Some improvement Is noticeable In
the material crosscut into from the

The probability that the Baltimore
deposit runs into this claim creates
quite q stir among holders OF Rock

made to resume work before long.
Uuien Cen.eiidated.
C%ross-cutting In the ledge shows 1t
to be 40 feet In width Of quartz, which
gives low assays. The main north
drift Is now being driven ahead to see
what lies In that direction.
The rock being softer, excellent pro-
gress Is made In sinking, no blasting
being required. The ore gives good
