Daily yield. $50 tons Of orc. The orr
breasts throughout the entire mine am
looking well and yielding splcndidly'
Sinking the main incline Ia making fai'
progress Notwithstanding the extreme
hardness OF the rock. II Is now down
20 feet below the 1500-foot level. The
main south drift on the 1300-foot level,
Is In $40 feet. Tho new air shaft IL
down 400 feet in fair sinking ground.
The works arc to be shut down for o
day or two TO change some Of the hoist
ing gear and put In new rails In the
main incline shaft. A splendid new
cable rope Is now on Its way from Ban
Francisco, and will be put in o. soon o.
II arrives. A dividend Of $5 per share.
aggregating $3.50, 600, was declared on

Crown Point.
Daily yield $50 tons Of ore, which Is
being extracted from the 1000. 1900. 1900
and l4O0-foot levels. Since our last re.
port, another Wine. called the south
Wine. has been started from the 400
foot level, and Ia now down II feet in
good ore. II In being sunk for the pur-
pose Of securing better ventilation. The
middle Wine, on the 1400-foot level,
lacks about IA feet Of being down to the
15O0-foot level. II Is still In excellent
ore. The incline Is down 100 feet below
the 15OO-foot level. In hard blasting
rock. The various ore breasts through
out the mine are looking "a well as
usual. A dividend Of % per share. ag-
g~regating $500, 900. was declared on the
9Th, payable the 18th.
Choilar.Potosi.
Daily yield 30 tons Of ore. the assay
value OF which Is $50 per ton. There
is no change Of interest to report Of the
ore breasts on the upper levels. The
cross-cuts, No. / and No. 2. at the fourth
station level. have both reached tho
west country rock without developing
anything Of material value. The main
south drift, ut the fifth station level, is
still driven ahead. cutting occasional
small streaks OF fine ore, but finding no
body Of permanent value. The east
cross-cuts in tho Belvidere portion OF
the mino show considerable improve
ment during the past few days.
Savage.
Sinking the main shaft for the 2l0O-
foot level is making steady progress, the
rock in the bottom blasting out finely.
Tho main south drift, on tho 2000-foot
level, has been enlarged and timbered
up in good working condition and Is now
being steadily driven ahead TO connect
with the north drift on the same level
from the Hale and Norcross. Cross-cut-
ting and prospecting this level will now
be vigorously prosecuted. The pros
pecting and prosecuting on the 1900
foot level has developed nothing Of mn
terial value as yet.
Goodman.
This mine is situated about q mile
West Of Silver City, near the Red
Jacket mine and the American Flat tun-
mel OF the railroad. The company have
sunk a shaft about 1G0 feet, developing
a good-sized ledge which assays well In
silver and gold. The Goodman COM
pany have a valuable piece OF mining
property, which only lacks full and
proper development.
Julia.
Work ON the 9O0-foot level has been
discontinued for q short time, pending
the erection Of the new pumping ma
chinery. Tho excavation for the ma
chinery is nearly completed, and is being
pushed TO completion with oil the vgor
possible. The necessary timbers are
being framed, and every step that can is
being taken to secure the erection Of the
az fast ~ the machinery arrives
at the mine. d.
Bsltimors Consolidated.
The water has been drained from the
shaft and the sinking resumed, which is
making favorable headway. Tho
station, at tho 750-foot level. Is opened,
and o drift started 10 tap and prospect
the ledge on that level. The new ma
chinery il all working with the utmost
perfection, and the development OF the
new level Is being looked forward to
with intense and hopeful expectation.
Impsriai.Empirs.
Sinking the main incline Is making
fair progress. and has only 8 feet more
to sink, when everything will be in
readiness for opening the 2008-foot sta
ton. The south drift, from the main
east cross-cut, has penetrated the ore
body, mentioned in our last report, 40
feet, showing II to be $50 TO $35 ore,
and giving fair promise OF the develop
ment Of a large body.
The flow Of water has continued stron-
ger in the shaft than was at FIRST expect
cd. However, tho steady and persistent
efforts Of the management Is beginning
to tell, and the water " slowly and grad.
ually being drained. The prospecting
operations north, ut the 40O-foot level,
have developed nothing Of renewed in
during tho week.
Justics.
Sinking the main incline Is making
good progress, tho rock In tho bottom
working quite soft. The extraction OF
ore from the Waller Defeat shaft is con-
tinued ct the rate Of 40 tons per day.
The excavations for the foundation OF
the new hosting works and machinery
is making steady and favorable progress.
Caledonia.
Sinking the main shaft Is making IA
vorable progress. II Is now down IS
feet below the 800-foot level, the bottom
still in o mixture Of clay and quartz and
soft porphyry. Prospecting and cross
cutting on the 600 and 700-foot levels
are still carried forward without change
Of interest or value 10 relate.
Tho ledge is becoming somewhat soft
err again in the face Of the tunnel, and q
better quality Of quartz Is met with.
The ledge Is bearing mort nearly q north
and south course than at any timo here
tofore, and the indications are more IA
yorable at present than they have been
