driven ahead, following the ore dsvel-
opmsnt spoken OF In our Inst report.

The face OF The main west drift, at the
4O0-foot lsvoi, yesterday afternoon again
pcnstmtsd a fine streak Of quartz Of a
very promising character. The general
character Of tho material penetrated is
gradually softening and the prospects Of
soon reaching the main ore vein Is daily
strengthening. The flow OF water from
the face Of tho drift Is slight, and gives
but little II any trouble.
