sunk $50 feet, cutting the ieoee, irom
which quite a n amount OF rich orc was
extracted. Tapping q heavy body OF
water In the shan, and being unable
to erect the necessary machinery TO
drain 1t, the company was obliged to
abandon that part Of the work. After
ward a tunnel was run 9O feet In
length, striking the lead at depth OF
100 feet from tho surface, developing
some good ore, but not rich enough to
nav well for working at that time.
Work has been resumed at this point.
and a drift started to the northward
along the line Of the ledge; also, a
| winze has been commenced to follow
and d~eyelope the ore-yein lower down,
and the company confidently expects
to o make some fine Developments.

Daily yield $50 tons. Nothing new
to note In the appearance Of the mine,
tho ore breasts all yielding finely, as
usual. The main incline ID down 90
feet below the 1200-foot level. The
main DRIFT south. at this level, 10 In Sl8
feet from the Crown Point line, and
the drift north to meet II, from the In
\ cline, Is In 1874 feet. The main south
DRIFT, at the l400-foot level, is again
being pushed ahead. The eross-cut

feet Of good ore. About 80 tons per
day comes from tkls level through the
Yellow Jacket shaft.

Crswn PsI.s
The yield for the week wat less than
usual, by reason Of repairs to the
hoisting arrangements, but next week
will make up for It. All the ore sec
lions are looking and yielding finely

the l300-foot level Is discontinued,
having reached tho east wall, with a
good showing of ore all the way. The
floors at this level are looking splendid
ly. The south drift at the l400-foot
level Is being tlmbered. The main In
cline ID now down III feet below the
l4O0-foot level, In dry, hard rock.
