MINING SUMMARY.
For the Week K.dins March %, 1919.
BeIeher.
Daily yield 44O tons, about 20 tons
Of which comes from the l300-foot
level by way Of the Yellow Jacket
shaft. The winze from the level above
to connect with the wlnze from this
level, so feet from the Grown Point
line, Is about completed, as the two
opposite working parties could hear
each other this morning, therefore, the
connection will doubtless be made be-
fore night. This winze Is In Hrst-class
ore all the way, and when completes
It will not only give good air circula-
ton, but will much facilitate the ok
traction Of ore ; indeed It Is the inten-
ton to increase the ore product from
the l3OO-toot level ito 200 tons per day
before the first of next month. The
cross-cut east at this level, 100 feet
from the Crown Point line, is now u
feet into the ore body, all fine ore, and
the face still showing the same. The
ore next to the Grown Point line IL
being stopped out six sets Of timbers, or
about 36 feet in length, by the same In
width. The other ore producing lev
els above are holding out far better
than ever was anticipated, and Will
last for years. The average assays ofthe
mine for the present month u higher
than heretofore, car samples showing
an average of about $3.50 to tho ton.
As We stated IN our last report, the re-
ceipts Of the mine for the present
month will amount to more than any
single month yet. The main incline
Ia down 30 feet below the l2O0tfoot
level. and the drift north from 1t at
that level II In 40 feet. while the main
south drift to connect with 1t Is in 303
feet from the Crown Point line. 1t
will take two or three months yet to
make the connection.

Sinking the incline has been stopped
for the present on account of inability
to keep down the water struck last
week in the bottom OF the shaft. The
main north drift on the l500-foot level
Is making good Roadway, with no
change Of interest since u last re-
port. The main south DRIFT on the
l60O.foot level. to connect with the
north drift on the same level from the
Savage, IL making excellent Roadway,
with no change to note since our last
report. Prospecting the other por.
lions of the mine continues rs usual
with no disclosures Of interest to re-
late. New and heavy lift pumps are
being placed In the SHAFT aud Incline
as fast rs the work can be accom-
plished, so that In a very short time
the water can be drained and work re.

Its causing any further trouble.

The ore body ut the second station
(s5O.foot level) is looking and yielding
finely. The ore breasts between the
1900, 400 and 15OO.foot levels, con-
tinue to improve In both the QUALIFY
and quantity Of ore extracted. The
main south drift OIL the l700.foot level
is still driven vigorously ahead with
no change of interest to report. Inc
main north drift on the l70O-foot level
ia being pressed steadily ahead, the in-
dicatjons for finding a body Of ore In
that part Of the mine growing gradual
ly better as the work PROGRESSED. The
east c~ross-cuts on this level arc making
good progress with no disclosures OF
Value to chronicle. There Is little or
no difference In the daily yield or the
quality Of tho ore extracted since our
last report.

There has been but little ore extract
ed from the mine during the past
week, owing to the imposstbility Of
getting 1t hauled to the mill. the horses
Of the teamsters being afflicted with
the horse disease to such an extent as
to stop all hauling. Some Of the team
sters, however, made IN attempt to
resume work yesterday morning, and
IL their teams a stand the labor, Will
soon have tho dumps cleared Of ore.
When this Is accomplished, work In
the ore breasts will be resumed. The
water has been drained and work In
the main northwest prospecting DRIFT,
at the 18th station resumed, the rock In
the face working we'll and good progress
being made. The main north drift, at
the fifth station, Is also pushed steadily
ahead, without change Of Interest.

The main south drift, on the 1000
foot level, Is still pushed steadily
ahead without change Of interest dur
ing the week. The several cross-cuts
on this level have, as yet. failed to de-
yslop any considerable body Of pay
ore. The main drift south, on the
l7OOLfoot level, Is making good pro-
gress, without any new Developments
to record. The main DRIFT north on
the 18OO-foot level, to connect with the
south drift from the Gould and Curry,
Is making fair progress with no change
