and still continues its passage down
ward through vsin material Of o soft and
encouraging appearance. On the l700-
foot level the north drift Is advancing
to unite with this winze in order TO Inn
prove the ventilation. and thereby allow
Of the thorough exploration Of that level.
The volume Of water flowing from the
east drift on the 1600-foot level does not
increase and In easily removed with the

Daily yield, $50 tons. The ore breasts
and slopes throughout all the old pro-
ducing levels. continue to hold out and
yield handsomely. and the development
Of the l50O-foot level IL being vigorous
ly prosecuted by the WINES from the
400, with excellent orc prospects. The
drift east from the 1500-foot station OF
tho main incline, to open that level, Is
also going ahead well. Sinking the
main incline goes ahead a. usual. and II
Is to-day so feet below the 1500-foot
level. Tho new air shaft Ia down 220

0phir.
Daily yield, $40 tons, from the ore
breasts and Slopes OF and between 1890
and l645-foot levels. keeping four mills
steadily running. The cross-cut from
tho wipze below the l645-foot level,
near tho California line, continues in
splendid ore; in fact there Is plenty Of
rich ore in sight in the Ophir. and all
the cross-cut and Wine explorations
simply 60 to show that the great BONANZA
extends downward and northward. The
quality OF ore extracted during the past
week was better than heretofore. giving
much higher assays; therefore, the mill
ing returns will be much better.
Imperial. Empire.
Going ahead as usual on the 1s5o-foot
level. The cross-cut east Is in clayj
The winzs il down SO feet, and still in
good ore. The cross-cut at tho 2000-foot
level is apparently near the ledge. 0cca-
aional flows Of hot water are met with,
and the drift is kept well timbersd in an
ticipation OF any heavy body Of wator
that might be tapped in cutting through
the. wall Of the ledge. Sinking the main
incline is going ahead. II Is to-day 43
feet below the 200O-foot level.

Justice.
The main drift 10 giving . fns show
ing OF ore at present, with continued
improvement. Excellent assays are OF
tanned from the face, and very high ones
from the west side Of the drift. The
cross-cut shows nothing important. The
incline is still encountered with water.
but this difficulty will be remsdied when
the powerful new hosting and pumping
machinery IL completed, which will BE-
In three or four weeks.
