feet, having passed through during the
week a fine strata of ore twenty inches
to three feet In thickness, pitching to
eastward. and which Is undoubtedly
but a feeder from the main ledge.
Should this mine strike an extension
OF the great ore bonanza Of the Belcher,
and Ii does not seem Improbable that
It may, inclining as It evidently does
80 strongly to the eastward, a new era
OF things will certainly be started into
life in that quarter.
Justice.
The prospecting drift north at the
3oO-foot level Is still In good ore. A
north drift has been started on the 400
foot level to strike this body Of ore,
which lies north and west Of anything
heretofore developed In the mine. The
ore body Is also improving on the 300
foot level south. Two mills are now
running on ore from the mine. and we
expect soon to hear Of valuable ship
ments OF, bullion by this company.
Caledonia.
Enlarging the shaft for a third com
partment is completed with the excep-
ton OF some necessary timbering. The
new boilers are covered In, the smoke
stack up, and the new pumping ma
chinery Is being placed in position rs
fast as consistent with permanence
and durability. The daily yield OF ore
Is without change, and the Sapphire
mill Is kept steadily running.
Gould d Curry.
The prospecting drift east on the
l6OO-ioot level is still driven ahead,
the rock In the face quite hard, with
occasional seams Of quartz. The face
Of the east crosscut OH the l500-foot
level Is In hard blasting ground. Some
low grade ore has been developed by
the south drift ut the fourth station.
Repairing the SHAFT Is making good
progress.
Succor.
The ore In the west drift from the
second station shows considerable i'm
provcment, and is gradually widening
as the work progresses westward. Tie
east DRIFT has about 100 feet yet to run
before reaching the body OF ore work
cd In the old mine above. Sinking the
new shaft east Of the hill has been re-
sumed and Is making good progress.
Silver Hill.
The new pumping machinery is all
In place, and works s%plendidly. Sink
Ing the shaft for a new level was re-
sumed last evening. All the ore breasts
and slopes at the first station are look
Ing finely. The extraction Of ore from
the second station has commenced,
which promises a large yield OF fine
ore.
Hale & Norcross.
Sinking the main incline Is making
good progress, although the rock In
the bottom continues both tough and
hard. The daily ylold of ore has de-
creased considerably. none being now
extracted from below the third station.
Nothing new from any Of the prospect
ing drifts OH the lower levels.
Arizona, Utah and Globe.
The face Of the main west drift at
the 400.foot level is In very hard blast
ing ground, which Is supposed to be
the same belt Of rock as that found on
the upper level and lying Immediately
next the ledge. The crosscut east from
the bottom OF tho incline shows some
punches Of fine ore.

There Is no change OF material value
to report In either the first or second
stations. The crosscut In the north
drift at the third station 10 showing
some good ore In the face, Sinking

The main southwest DRIFT at the 900.

Is soon expected to reach the ledge.
The water In the shaft Is gradually
there being only about 80
feet above the 1000 foot level.

shaft No. l on the 9th. making tho
total length OF the tunnel 1924 feet,
over one-quarter Of the entire length
of the whole tunnel.
American Flat.
There Is no particular change to note
In this mine. Owing to a detention
by a resumption Of the sinking
Of the shaft but little progress has been

The new station at the 250-foot level
Is opened, and q main west drift start
