and breasts on all Of these levels are look

run, one north and the other south,
from the north cross-cut on the 1900
foot level. These drifts are following
the east edge Of the west ledge. Cross.

cry IL all working splsndidly, and the
future looking bright and prosperous.
Excellent progress Is being made with
the main west tunnel, the face Of which
is in rock which blocks out finely. There
is q small. steady flow OF water from the
face Of the drift, yet not enough to at
all impede the progress Of tho work.
This drift will cut and prospect the
ledge 200 feet below the old upper
works, and taking into consideration
the fine ore prospects found in that part
OF the mine at the time the work was
stopped by the dow Of water. there
seems scarcely o doubt but that good
ore Developments will be made. An as

levied. which will 30 delinquent on the

The water Is at last sufficiently drained
for the resumption OF the prospecting
operations on the 4OO-foot level. and
cleaning out and repairing the main
drift is making good Roadway. II Is
hoped that the shaft will soon DO sufi.

progress, considering the extreme hard.
ness Of the rock penetrated. A small
streak Of quartz was encountered during
the week. but proved to be quite hard
and barren. The indications, however,
are that the ground will soon become
softer, and, consequently, better pro-
cress he made. The main north drift on
the 12OO-foot level is still driven vigor-
ously ahead, following the ore streak
mentioned in our previous reports.
This streak appears to be widening out
and is Of q much better quality than
heretofore.

Sinking the south winze below the
loOO-foot level is making steady pro-
gress, the bottom being still in fine ore.
There is some water secping in at the
bottom, but not enough to at all impede
the progress Of the work. The holding

The main west drift on the 400-foot
level il still driven ahead. the face in
clay with occasional spots Of gravslly
quartz. There Is some water coming in
from the face Of the drift, but not
enough to impede the progress OF the
work. A fine development Of good ore
was made during the week by the north
drift from the bottom Of the winze sunk
80 feet north Of the head OF the incline.
This Is an important Development, as 1t
is az yet the lowest made In the mino
and shows a solid, permanent and ore
bearing ledge to that depth.

Sinking the main incline below the
2OOO-foot level Is being pushed with oil
the vigor possible. The rock in the bot
tom remains quite hard. The main
west cross-cut from the incline on the
20OO-foot level has cut q number OF
streaks and spots OF fine ore, but no
thing that will yet pay for extraction
or reduction. The main north drift on
the 2O0O-foot level Is still pushed vigor.

The main west drift on the 400-foot
level is still driven vigorously ahead,
the face in fair running ground and &C.

streaks Of quartz. There IL . strong
possibility Of this drift striking the
main ledge almost any day. while at the
same time II may yet have q considers

mine, and ~ n matter Of course, Ia no

Sinking the main incline Is making
steady hsadway notwithstanding a strong
flow Of water, which considerably inter
feres with the progress Of the work:
Sinking the Waller shaft Is making good
progress, tho bottom still in fine ore.
Both the north and south drifts on the
25O-foot level Of the Waller shaft are In

tho old upper levels. Its assay value Is
$50 per ton. The ore breasts on these
levels show but little change since our
last report. The completion OF the

mine. The main south drift, at the NTH
station level. has been pushed ahead w
