The winze from the nrst station Is
down 20 feet, the pay ore body show
ing 8 feet In width of $40 milling ore.
| The raise from the third station Is up
IS feet, the rock working we'll and the
ledge showing 2 feet In width OF good
ore. The face Of the south drift at the
third station Is In 102 feet, the Ledge
showing finely, nearly the whole width
Of the face In good ore. The prospects
| OF this mine are more f1attcrlng than
at any time previous. The Company
EXPECT to be able to commence milling
the ore the latter part Of next week.
The new hosting machinery was
started up on Tuesday last, the ma
chinery working to perfection. The
water was drained from the shaft and
the sinking resumed Friday morning.
The ore encountered In the southeast
corner Of the shaft, at the time the
body of water was struck and work
stopped a few weeks since, has proved
to be only a small spur OF the main
ledge, which the shaft has passed
through and Is again In porphyry, the
sinking making good progress.

The main drift east at the 1500-foot
level has cut through tho west wall
and considerable quartz Is met with,
giving low assays. Not far enough In
az yet for good ore bodies. At the
1400-foot level the main drift east Ia
discontinued, and the drift north from
1t Is In rs feet In fine looking quartz,
which gives low assays. At the 1900
foot level ~cross-cutting still goes on at
the north end, with no important ore
developments. The main shaft has
been newly timbered for a distance Of
100 feet above the l000.foot level.

Looking finely as usual at all points
and keeping up Its Immense daily
yield. The drift south at the l400.
level Is being pushed ahead toward the
orc body, and Is In IS feet. The main
incline Is down IS feet below tie 400
foot station and making good progress,
the rock continuing hard. The yield
Of the mine for February was $685..
800 u, Of which $50, 900 Is estimated
to be the net earnings for the month.

The south drift from the main west
tunnel Is In 125 feet, having cut through
the chimney Of ore mentioned In our
last report. This chimney OF ore pros:
poets we'll, bidding fair to develop q
fine and permanent body. Prepara-
lions are being made to Immediately
commence sinking q winze at this
point In tho drift for the further de-
velopment or the ore body.

Work was again resumed on this
promising claim last Monday. The
heavy body of water In the shaft has
been drained and sinking the shaft was
resumed last evening, the rock In the
bottom working we'll. The prospects
of this location are certainly favorable
and we hope soon to hear OF the own
ers being richly rewarded for their Ia
Dor and perseverance.

The main east drift along the line
of the ledge, from the new shaft
east Of the mill, Is still In good
ore. The raise from this drift to con-
meet with the old upper level, Is max
ing good progress. passing nearly the
whole distance That 1t has been run,
through good ore.

The incline from the bottom OF the
wlnze Is down % feet, the vein at that
depth showing we'll. The drift from
the second station Is In Is feet, cutting
the ledge-which shows a compact
body OF yood ore. The slopes and old
workings, continue to yield the usual
amount Of milling ore.
Rspkeye,
The roads being bad, only enough
ore Is being forwarded to keep the
company's mill running. The aver
age assay Of ore being extracted 10
about $23 per ton. The drift east at
the lowest level Is expected to cut the
ledge at any moment. Rock hard and
considerable water to contend with.

The new station at the 470-foot level
Is nearly completed. The second lift
of pumps at this station Is IN, and
works finely. The main west drift at
the 250-foot station has made good
Roadway during the week, the face Of
the drift In a mixture Of quartz, por-

Nothing has been done at this mine
since our last report, with the excep-
ton of keeping the pump steadily run

The ore body In this mine Is about
eight feet wide, and OF a gypsum char

Prospecting both the north and south
drifts on the 400-foot level continues,
with nc material change to note since
our last report. Work. has been again
resumed In the main west drlft on the
5O0-foot level.
