Young, the large new working shalt
| of this company Is making most excel
lent progress downward, and will soon
require steam hosting works. the
foundations for which are already being
graded aud prepared. 1t Is n three
compartment shaft, intended to work
the mine at a great depth, and being
located on the north side OF the can.
yon just below the Jones residence, 1t
will anticipate tho regular eastward

considerable Importance.
Lower Comstsck.
The sinking of the new working
shaft Of this mine is being most ener-
Qetieally conducted with excellent
progress, the rock working well. AS
soon as required adequate hosting
works will be erected to carry
the shaft to the depth Of, u
thousand feet or more. The ledge
however, will be cut at a depth of sou
feet. Lying rs 1t does on the branch
of the great lode which passes down
Gold Canyon, between the Silver Hill
and Dayton mines, the Lower Comstock
is a most valuable aud Will so prove to
be one Of these days.

The first cross.cut, rs feet from the
shaft in the main southeast DRIFT Mt the
first level, has penetrated the ledge,
| which ut that point Is ten feet In
width. showing some ore oil an excel
lent quality. The second cross-cut on
the same level, Is through the vein,
which at that point Is eight feet In
width, and of a very promising char
acter.

The mill was started up on ore from
the mine last Wednesday. A supply
| of COO tons Of ore Is already delivered
at the mill ready for reduction. From
30 to 80 tons per day Ia being extracted,
with thousands of tons In sight, which
can b. extracted rs fast as the mill can
crush It. The mine never showed bet
ter or looked more prosperous than Mt
the present time.
OpLir.
.rlid main shaft from the l470.foot
level, after passing through n hard belt
of rock into n soft strata, Is now In
hard rock again. The north DRIFT ut
the 1906. foot level Is also in hard, I'M
favorable rock. The south drift at
that level Is In excellent working
ground aud favorable indications. No
change elsewhere.
The main south DRIFT Of the lI00-
foot level Is still driven e~nergetlcally
ahead to connect with the north drift
OIL the same level from the Hale &
| Norcross, with no new developments.
| Prospecting the other levels still con-
tluues with no change Of interest to
chronicle. Annual meeting next
Thursday.

Prospecting the 1900 and .l60O.foot
levels continues with undated yigor,
and no favorable developments to re-

main wes. tunnel on the Sou foot level,
are showing more favorable indications
ofore developments than heretofore.

The ore In the lower tunnel contin-
ucs TO show finely rs further deyel-
oped. Some very rich assays are
obtained from It. From the second

good ore, assaying we'll In both gold
and silver.
