has been rushed out OF this mine at .
very lively rate lately. Last Tuesday
night, one shift Of men trying to see
what they could do, sent up $50 car
loads In six hours and a half from the
llO0-foot levcl-about a carload n
minute-each load Of ore weighing
1900 pounds. The powerful hosting
facilities and double-cage arrangements
of this mine enabled them to do this,
beating any work In that line v be-
fore performed OH the Coinstock. The
ore dumps are full. The connection
between the north and south drifts ut
the l3O0-foot level being fully COM
pleted. that level Is now cool aud COM
Portable as any other level IN the milne,
and 1t is opened through from the In
cline to within Is feet Of the Belcher
line. The developments at this point
are highly important, showing an I'm.
mense body Of very rich ore, Of
which the Belchcr Is q continue
tIon. The 1900. foot level Of the Crown
Point will evidently prove to be the
best In the mine thus far opened. As
says from It average about $l75 to the
ton. The crosscut east 10 In ll5 feet,
still In fair ore, with no indication OF
cast wall. The main incline IL now
| about down to the l400-foot level.
Baltimore Ce.ssiidased.
A very favorable yet not unexpected
change has taken place In the prospects
Of the mine during tho past week.
The drift for the ledge, at the 25O-foot
level, Is In 240 feet from the shaft, and
the last 20 feet 1t passed through clay.
Yesterday 1t cut through this clay wall
into ledge matter, being q mixture Of
quartz and clay, from which came =
strong flow Of water, which taxed the
pumping and balling facilities Of the
company to the utmost at first, but 1t
Is fast s~ubsidlng. Some OF the quartz
from the face Of the drift gives good
assays. encouraging the hope that a
good body Of ore may be near BY.
Yollsw Jacket.
The lowest or 15O0.foot level being
drained Of water, drifting east for
the ledge Is resumed from the Incline.
This drift Is now In about 100 feet. At
the 400 foot level the east DRIFT Is
nearly 100 feet into the ledge matter,
but the face Is In barren qusrtz and
porphyry. The vein matter passed
through by TIL, drift Ia of a highly ia
yorable character. No signs Of any
east wall rs yet. Tho COmStock lode
Is over 300 feet wide a. this point.
Drifting north and prosecuting east
at the 1900 foot level, with no new de-
velopments as yet.
Bsekeye.
This valuable mine Ia turning out
about 80 tons OF ore per day, the assay
value OF which is nearly $40 per ton,
keeping both mills of the company
steadily running. The orc slopes,
both south and north of the incline. are
looking splendidly, and the state Of
the roads being favorable tor hauling
ore to the mills, everything works we'll
and prospcrously.
Caledonia.
The main north drift on the 400-foot
level Of the new works Is still driven
directly ahead, having passed through
| the ore encountered last week. appar-
emily leaving the principal body Of ore
ut this point to the left. The main
drift south Oh the 40U-foot level OF the
new shaft Is making good progress,
the ground inthe face working finely.
Choiinr-Pstssi.
Daily yield l2O tons Of ore, the assay
value Of which Is $32 per ton. The
body Of ore recently opened by the
northwest drift ut the first station Is
yielding timely. The prospecting
drifts nc the 75O and S50-foOt stations
are making good Roadway, with no
change OF material interest to note.
Cutting out for q new station, at the
lOOO.foot level, Is making good pro-
gress. The main east drift, on the
| 5UO.foot level, is in 403 feet. the face
still Ia low gra de ore. The furnace
| for the boilers has been adapted to the
use of coal, which Is found to be =
great saving In the matter OF expense.
Mint.
A contract has been let to sink the
shaft 100 feet deeper. The contractors
will commence the work Of sinking
on Monday next, and continue lt day
and night without intcrmission until
the -contract Is finished.

The main west DRIFT Is In 800 feet.
the face being in a mixture Of clay,
quartz and ~porphyry. There Is ON
water In the face. but not enough to

Inperiai.E mpire.
Prospecting rs usual with no change
or development Of interest to chronicle.
The work on the new machinery aiid
other surface Improvements Is making
steady progress.

The incline Is down los feet below
the tunnel level, the rock IN the bot
tom working quite hard. The quality
OF the ore In the shaft continues much
the same.
Globe.
The main drift west has been discon-
tlnusd for tho present. The raise, on
the ore body cut by the main tunnel,
Is still continued, the face Of the raise
still iu ore.

The contractors continue to push the
main north drift along the line Of the
ledge with undated vlgor. No change
of material interest during the week 70

Jacob Little.
The main north drift Of the uppel
mine, still shows good ore In Its face,
and the lower drift west Is In good
working ground.

Operations still confined to the
cleaning Of the old workings about the
600 and GOO-foot levels. Nothing do
