Daily yield, 500 tons Of ore. This
ore is being extracted from all the differ

l4O0-foot level. The orc breasts on all
the levels are looking well and yielding
finely. The new air shaft 10 finished

A fine large body Of quartz has been
developed by the cross-euts in the ledge,
at the fourth station level. but no ore
that will yet pay the cost Of extraction
and reduction. Sinking the north Wine
from the 1000 to the lG00-foot level, is
making excellent Roadway. Enlarging
and rstimbsring the 1500-foot lsysl north
drift, Is rapidly approaching completion.
Cross-cuts have been started TO prospect
the northern portion OF the ledge on
this level. The flow Of water IL grad.

the mine will DO sufficiently drained to

Sinking the main incline Is making
fine progress. The main south drift on
the 2OO0-foot level has reached the south
line without developing any paying
bodies Of ore. Two cross-cuts arc now
being run 10 the westward from the
south drift, neither Of which developed
any pay ore. Another cross-cut has
Just been started near the south line.
Sinking the north Wine from the 2000-
foot level is making fine progress. The
cross-cuts north Of the shaft have not
developed anything Of value.
Rock Island.
The main west drift, at the hrst sta
ton level, is in o distance Of $40 feet,
the last eight or ten feet being run
through the hard, tough clay forming
the east wall Of the ledge. This clay is
scftsning somewhat and the color chang

next to the ore formation Of the Com

all in fine condition and the pump kept

Sinking the main incline is making
the usual good Roadway, the rock in the
bottom working quite f%avorably. Sink
ing the south Wine below the 20O0.foot
level 10 also making excellent progress.
The north drift on the 20O0-foot level
running toward the Gould x Curry il
still making good hsadway, with no
change Of interest to note. Cross-cut-
ting and prospecting on the 2000.foot
level is still vigorously prosecuted, with
some favorable indications. but no ore
that will yet pay the cost Of extraction
and milling.
Dayton.
The ore breasts OH both tho second
and third station levels are looking well
and yielding the usual amount Of fine
milling ore. The north drift OF the
second statian level has reached a point
underneath the old Felix WINE, which
is being sunk from the level above. The
southwest drift on the second station
level il still continued toward the Kos
suth line, without change Of value to
relate. The mill is kept steadily run
ming on ore from the mine, and the
prospects are quite favorable.

The stone wsrk for the foundation Of
the new pumping engine, is nearly COM

put in position, and as soon ~ that is
completed, lowering the pumps 10 their
several stations will Be commenced.
There remain only about % feet Of the
third compartment Of the shaft TO sx-
tract when the three compartments will
be finished to the 1l00-fost level. The
water Is now drained 10 the 1000-foot
level and prosecuting on that level will
DO resumed in a very few days.
ChsIiar.Pstosi.
The cross-cuts being run at the fifth
station.lsvsl, have developed nothing OF
value during the past week. They are
still ssvsrally continued in the hopes Of
yet finding more valuable indications OF
ore. The body OF ore found in the old
Belvidere section has been drifted upon
north and south, and cross-cut both east
and west, until its limits have been
reached. Daily yield 10 tons Of ore.
Baitimsre Consolidated.
Sinking the main shaft is making
good Roadway, the rock in the bottom
working finely. A cross-cut has BEEN
started on the 450-foot level. which will
reach the ore vein in a very shsrt time.
A cross.eut has also been commenced
from the north drift on the 750-foot
level, which will rsach the ore vein in
five or six days.
