The main northwest drift at the third
station is still being driven energeti-
caliy ahead, the face Of the drift In q
mixture of clay, quartz and porphyry.
with occasional spots and streaks Of
fair grade ore. The cross.euts In tho
southwest drift from the main west
tunnel at the second station have cut
the ledge, showing 1t to be about 20
feet In width. with six or eight feet Of
fine looking ore, the rest being consid-
erably broken up and mixed with clay
Land porphyry, with spots and streaks
of ore intermingled. Nothing Is yet
being done In the face of the main
west DRIFT at this station, on account of
the, heavy flow Of water. This body
of water Is being gradually drained,
so that work will o be resumed In
the main drift. There Is no change Of
interest to report Of the operations at
the first station.
Caledonia.
Eularging the shaft for another COM
partment will be finished by the end
of another week, there being only
about l40 feet to complete. The new
boilers are In place, ready for use, and
the old ones are being repaired ready
for q change whenever 1t Is required.
The ore body going south, OIL the up
Der floors, at the 500.foot level, has
improved considerably during the
week, The usual amount OF ore Is
being extracted, keeping the Sapphire
steadily running. A good supply Of
wood and other necessaries are being
provided, and everything prepared for
Il steady winters work.

A drift has been started from the
lOO-foot level, In a southwesterly d.
rection, striking the ledge 100 feet be-
low the old tunnel. The new drift Is
already in sixteen feet. Several
punches of good ore have been en-
countered. Assays range from $l2 to
$50. The prospects for striking. a
larger body Of ore are very favorable.
The ground Is perfectly dry and works
we'll. Hitherto some trouble has been
experienced from water In the shaft,
but It has ceased to be a source OF an
noyance since the new pumping ma
chinery has been placed In position,
which works splendidly.
silver Hill.
The usual amount of ore Is not being
extracted, on account Of the lease OF
the Bacon mill having expired and the
inability Of the company to renew 1t,
the owners desiring the mill for their
own use. The mine is looking finely \
throughout. The body of ore being
sunk on by tho north winze, near the
Justice line, Is steadily improving as
the sinking progresses. This winze Is
down &C feet, the entire distance In
fine ore. The crosscuts from the main
north drift at the second station show
fine prospects Of good ore.

Prospecting drifts are being run in tho
ground OF the old Sacramento portion
Of the claim, preparatory, should u
sufficient amount Of ore be found, to
again starting up the Sacramento mill,

The shaft Is down 800 feet, nearly

a fine, lively texture. that assays from
&C to $40 per ton. This body Of quartz
Is undoubtedly an entirely new dis
covery, but still may prove itself only |

q considerable distance west of the
shaft. Opening n station at the 300
foot level to DRIFT for the ledge has
already been commenced.

The east drift from the bottom Of
the new shaft, in the canyon east Of
the mill, cut the Ledge during the
week. showing some fine Orc. II the
body proves of sufficient extent, the
company's mill will be started up on
the ore In q short time. Hosting the
water, preparatory to resuming sink
ing the main shaft east Of the hill, Is
making good progress. Sinking Will
be resumed some time during the
coming week.
New York Consolidated.
Sinking the shaft is making the
usual good progress, the rock in the
bottom not being quite so tough and
hard to blast. The flow Of water Is
about the same as per last report, but
does not materially impede the pro.
gress Of the work. Streaks Of fine
looking quartz are encountered almost
continually In sinking, some OF which
show very promising Indications Of
ore.

Daily yield, 100 tons Of ore per day
which Is being extracted mostly from
the first. third. and eleventh station
levels. There is nothing new to re-
port of the prospecting operations OH
the lower levels, most Of the prospect
ing drifts having been stopped for the
present. Sinking the main incline is
progressing at the rate Of IL feet per
week, the rock In the bottom blasting
and working quite hard.

Sinking the new shaft Is making
good progress, the rock In the bottom
working finely. 1t Is down 81 feet.
