The 130o-foot level still continues
opening out finely. The cross-cut east
from the main south drift, about 1O
feet from the Crown Point line, is In
about 80 feet. The last few feet 1t was
not looking quite rs promising ~ was
expected, but to-day the face shows de-
clded improvement, being In ins ore.
The main ore breasts at this level are
showing splendid. The other ore pro-
ducing levels above are also looking

bullion Yield for the present month
promises to be even better than that Of
last month. There is sufficient ore In
sight to considerably more than pay
for the entire mine at the present
price.
Daily yield. about coo tons. The
quality OF ore taken from the lowest
levels shows considerable improve
ment, running higher In gold. The

out very fine ore. At the south line,
next to the Belcher, the best and rich
est ore Is found. IL Is being worked
six or eight sets OF tlmbers wide. and
the whole face is In first quality ore.

Beloher, selling ut considerably less

more.

Work on the new machinery and
other surface improvements Is making
steady progress. Daring the week the
new pump engine was started up, ev-
erythlng working with the most per-
feet satisfaction. The pumps are be-
ing lowered In the shaft, and every
thing arranged In the best possible
working order. Prospecting has been
resumed on the lower levels, but as
yet there are no rich developments to
report.

No ore Is being extracted from this
mine at present, the orc dumps all be-
Ing full. and 1t being impossible to get
the ore hauled to the mills. The north
west prospecting drift at the ninth sta
ton Is still driven energetically ahead,
with no change Of material Interest
to note. The heavy flow Of water from
the face of the northwest drift at the
eight station still continues, keeping
the pump steadily running, and greatly
Impeding the progress OF the work,

Daily yield 65 tons Of ore, keeping
the mill steadily running. The ore
breasts In the different parts Of the
mine are not looking quite so we'll as
at our last report, although the value
per ton remains unchanged. The use
Of coal instead Of wood at the mill and
hosting works Is found to work we'll,
and quite a saving In the matter Of ex-
pense. Prospecting the o00-foot or
lower level still continues, with no
important developments to chronicle.

The second station IL now In 10 feet
and timbered for that distance. As q
balance bob for the pump will have to
be put In at this point, taking some
time, the sinking Of the main shaft Is
being pushed forward as usual. Tho

working Of this mine, there being

the work theoretically pushed forward.

There IL but little change to report
in this mine, with the exception Of a
steady increase In the flow Of water
| from the face Of the main west drift on
the 0 O.foot level. About 81 feet have
been added to this drift during the
week. The pumping machinery is
working s~plendidly, Keeping tho sup
ply of water steadily drained.

The main east drift from the new
shaft In the canyon Is still driven
ahead, with but little change In the
quality Of the ore since our last re-
bort. The raise from this level to con-
meet with the old upper works Is
pushed steadily ahead, the face still In
ore. Nothing doing at the new shaft
yet.
Owing to the horse disease prevent
any further ore hauling at the present
time, the mill Is stopped, and also all
work at the mine except q prospecting
drift or two. The pump Is kept going
In order to keep the water out, so as TO

practicable.
The main west tunnel Is making good
progress, the rock In the face working
tolerably we'll. Sinking the shaft is
making good Roadway, the quality Of
tho ore gradually improving as greater
depth Is obtained, and the body WIDEN
ing out until 1t now fills the entire size
Of the shaft.

The water tapped last week has been
drained and the main west drift re.
paired to within a few feet of the face
of the drift. As soon as the repairs are
complete, work will be resumed In the
drift, with fair prospects Of speedy and
valuable developments.

After starting up last week, 1t was
found necessary to make some repair;
to one Of the compartments to the
shaft, which Is being done with AZ
much expedition rs possible. AS soon
rs the repairs are completed, sinking
the shaft will be resumed.

The new machinery 10 nearly ready
to start, and everything In and about
the works will soon be In splendid
working condition, so that the develop
ment of the mine can be prosecuted
with all the vigor possible.
