The Ram,dell mill started upon ore
from this mine about the first Of the
week, and the lone mill will also start
in a day or two more, when some good
returns may be looked for. The mine
Is looking we'll throughout, the levels
both north and south showing large
quantities Of good milling ors. Super

into the best possible working shape,
with a view to taking out plenty Of ore
to keep both mills constantly running.
About thirty tons per day are being
required to supply them. Other mills
will also be set TO work a. last as pro-
durable, 1t being the intention Of the
company to mill forty or ffty tons per
day. This ore will pay over $50 per
ton under the stamps.

The new pumps in the incline are
nearly completed, and will be ready to
commence the work Of draining the
water In two or three days more. Tho
north Drift from tho main east drift
along the line Of the ledge on the 1900
foot level, has developed large body
Of fne appearing quartz, which con-
tains but very little ore. The finding
of such a bsdy OF quartz Is certainly q
great encouragement, and gives better
promise Of something more valuable
on the next levels. The main drift:
south on the 1600-foot level, to connect
with the north DRIFT from the Savage,
Is still driven ahead. making fair head
way, and nothing new to report. Pros
pectlng In other portions of the mine
continues as usual, with nothing new
to relate.

The broken plnlon Of the spur-wheel
of the pump gearing being replaced by
a whole one, the. water Is reduced
again at the 1900 foot level 80 that
drifting east will be resumed at that
point tomorrow or next day. Drift
ing north and south at the 14OO-foot
level, and prosecuting at tho 1900
progresses as usual, with no new de-
yelopments. No ore comes from this
mine, but about ITO tons per day are
hoisted for the Reloher Company ,oom-
ing from their l300-foot level.

The north drift from the main west
tunnel Is In 2l0 feet, running the
whole distance through solid quartz.
Two hundred feet In from the mouth
of this drift a cross-cut has been run,
showing the ledge to be Is to 20 feet
In thickness and containing low grade
ore that assays from $40 to SIS per ton.
An assessment Of 25 cents per share,
amounting to $4,000, has been levied,
delinquent April 2lst.

There has been but little improve
ment In either the daily yield or the
quality Of the ore extracted since our
last report. The ore breasts between
the 400 and l500-foot levels, II any
thing, continue to show less favorable.
Prospecting the l700-foot level is still
continued with undated vigor. No
new developments OF value to
chronicle.

The main west drift at tue first sta
ton Is still driven ahead In very favor

portions of the quartz showing ore OF

ledge Is penetrated. Water Is not
troublesome. Everything Is working
well above and below.

The prospecting work on the lower
levels progresses Us usual, with but
little change during the week. the de.
velopments continuing to Increase the
prospect Of soon affording a dividend

was levied April 18th, delinquent In

The north drift from the main west
tunnel ON the 1OO0-foot level, so feet
west from the shaft, Is in 95 feet, the
face In a mixture Of quartz aud clay.
The face Of the south drift from the
main west tunnel Is In good milling
ore that promises a valuable and ex-
tenslve development.
The east DRIFT from the shaft, to cut
the ledge, Is making excellent pro-
gress, the rock in the face blasting

rich as some of the spurs cut In sink
ing the shaft, rich Developments may
be looked for.
