of good ore, without encountering the
east wall. The water on this level still
flows freely. The main incline Is being
pushed forward rapidly, and is now down

the ore breasts throughout the mine are
looking as well as usual. The colossal
machinery designed for use in the main
incline is being placed In position and
will shortly DO ready for working opera

Sinking the main incline below the
2OOO-foot level is making fair progress.
~Cross-cutting on the l900-foot level is
pushed steadily forward at two different
points, one near the south line and the
other near the center Of the claim. The
extraction Of ore from the streaks and
spots developed on this level is still
progressing, they proving more perma-
nent and extensive than was at first
supposed. This fact lends great en-
enlargement and hope in regard to tho
future prospecting Of the 2000-foot
level. The west drift at this level IL in
to q point about GO feet from the main
incline and appears to be entering the
same character Of material that was en-
countered Just before reaching the ledge
on the level above, indicating that the
drift will soon reach the main ore vein.

The flow OF water from tho drain tun-

being gradually exhausted and will o o
