lug good as yet In cr%ess-cutting at the
loOO-foot level. yet there Is plenty OF
room for a rich strike before reaching
the east wall. Stocks n liable to
ruic low for the rest OF the month.
Below We give what VIC know about
the mines:
Cro.n Point
Daily yield Of ore $50 tons. The orc
breasts on the lOO0.toot level are yield.
Ing finely and promises to extond up
ward through the entire 000.foo level
and perhaps Into the 500, affording n
vast amount of fine orc for extraction
from that portion OF the mine. The
orc breasts and slopes on tho 1000 aud
l30O.foo layels are yielding well aud
looking splendldly. The ore stope.
now being opened In the west ore vein
on the 400 foot level are looking and
yielding fully n rich as on the levels
| above. The east ore vein, which OF
the l2O0.foot level was only seven or
eight feet In width, was struck
- feet east of the west vein. On the
1900 loot level IL had inclined TO tile
eastward until 1t wal sixty feet
east of the west vein and had
gradually widcned to 81 feet. When
the east crosscut had been run 50 or
90 feet OH the li00.foot level, miny
gave up the hope OF again iindihg that
portion Of the ledge, thinking that 1t
had plnched out, but superintendent
| Simusl Jones. knowing the inclination
of the east body, thought differently,
and In spite OF all opposition pushed
the drift ahead, striking the ore richer
than ever at = distance OF l0l feet east
Of tho west vein. This body Of ore
has been penetrated a distance Of 60
feet, and promises to open out over n
hundred feet In width, all OF the finest
quality OF ORC. Ore slopes are being
| opened In this body, and tho extrac-
ton Of the ore has already been CON-
mencei. Tho middle Wine Is down
80 feet. aud the north Wine % feet
below the li.foot level. both following
the foot wall OF the ledge.
Giobe Consolidated.
The connection has been completed
between the up.raise from the tunnel
and the wlnze from the old works,
thoroughly y~entllating all the upper
portion Of the mine, aud giving n
means OF soon commencing the extrac-
ton Of ore. rhiS winze hss passed =
distance Of l10 feet upward through
ore to reach the old upper works,
where the ore had been extracted and
millrd 10 the depth Of 800 feet from the
surface. The old Globe tunnel viii
now shortly DO extended, having only
about 40 feet more to run to strike the
ledge $50 feet below where the Wine
has already prospecte1 the ore body.
The main wost drlit on the 400. foot
level Is also expected to shortly strike
the same ledge 30 feet below tho old
tunnel. giving All extent OF new aud
unprospected ledge and virgin ground
of $50 feet, besides the 40 feet of
ledge and ore already developed and
ready for extraction aud milling. The
main west drift, on the i00-ioot level.
Ia still In hard blasting rock. Sinking
tho incline Is making fair Roadway.
Ophir.
The south drift on the l300-foo lev
oil. running to connect with the north
DRIFT from the Virginia Consolidated,
Ia fast approaching completion. There
seems TO be some difference In the
depth at which the two drifts were
started, and a raise Is now being made
10 complete the connection. Cross.cut
No. 9, 1900. foot level, the winze from
cross-cut No. 1. and the north cross
cut Oh the same level are all showing
ore Of a good quality, with indications
of n steady Improvement. The south
winze from the li65-foot level Is being
steadily carried down the foot wall to
connect with the south drift OH the
100 foot level. The main south DRIFT
II the l7CO.foot level 10 being rapidly
driven ahead to connect with the
wlnz. from the liG5-tsot level. No
prospecting or prosecuting will be
done on the l700-foot level until the
south drift shall have reached the south
line Of tho mine.
Erie.
The property Of the Erie Silver Min-
ing Company consists Of 1900 feet In
! length by 600 feet In width, located In
the southern extremity Of the Com
stock ledge, aud Immediately adjoin-
Ing the old Pony Express ground on
the south. The Florida aud Pony Ex-
press developments, adjoining aud Ia
| the same ledge, are highly encourss-
| inc for the prospects Of the Erie. The
| company Ia Incorporated under the
laws OF California, and Its practical
| development will be energetically
| prosecuted forthwith under the super
intendence Of j. j. Naslc. No assess
ment will BE- levied or needed for
many months, n a large amount OF
the capital stock has been appropria'
ted for "a working fund.

Sinking the double winze on the
l1OO.foot level Is progressing finely, the
Burleich drills driven by tho new air
compressor working with the utmost
perfection and enabling much better
progress to be made than by the old
hand style OF work. Tho main north
DRIFT on this level, shows no change OF
value since our last report, and the
main east drift Ia still driven steadily
| ahead running through alternate
strvaks of quartz. porphyry and clay.
| The main northeast DRIFT, on the looo-
foot level, Il still driven slowly Tor
ward, the flow OF water continuing
steady and greatly impeding the prsg-
res. of the DRIFT. Il being found ne
ces.ary, repairing the north compari-
m.nt Of the shaft has been commenced

The main north drift on the 100
foot level IRON tho ophir SHAFT has
struck the west wall Of the ledge along
which Is being driven toward the Union
Consolidated ground. The face Of the
Jriit shows some excellent ore lndica-
t,on., which are rapidly improving In
annsarance as the DRIFT progresses 10
