Daily yield 100 tons OF ore, the rs
say value Of which Is $32 per ton
There IL no change to report Of the ore
producing portion OF the mine, except
q gradual Improvement In the Bslvi-
dere section. The drift south ut the
fourth station has been advanced SO
feet during tho week, passing through
hard porphyry. A cross-cut has been
started from the ledge to again cut the
ledge further to the southwark. There
has been considerable change during
the past week In the formation pene-
trated by the main south drift nc the
nfth station. S,reaks OF quartz, clay
and porphyry alternating with some
low grade ore. There Is also q steady
seepage Of water.

Daily yield 60 tons OF ore, keeping
tho mill steadily running. There Is
no change Of Interest to chronicle IN
either the looks or yield Of the ore pro-
ducing sections. There Is an abund-

Of the mine Is going on as usual. The
new shaft Is down $50 feet, the bottom

slulce tunnel for the hydraulic works
Is being driven ahead as fast as tho
tough, hard nature OF the rock pene-
trated will admit. The excavation Tor

level. 1t will probably be completed
OIL Saturday next, and thenceforward
the tunnel can be worked both east
and west along Its line, from the bot
tom OF the shaft, thus giving three
working faces and three times as good
opportunity for working as there has
been heretofore. Shaft No. 3, which
Is located between shaft No. . and tile
header OF tho main tunnel. was aban-
doned some weeks since, II being found
that the tunnel could be, with present
facilities, worked past 1t before 1t could
reach tho tunnel level.

Daily yield $50 tons Of ore. which Ia
being extracted from tho 1909, 1000,
1900 and lt00.f foot levels. The main
Incline Is down l15 feet below the
400. foot level. The orc taken from
the 100. foot level l. OF the same
quality rs that taken from the level
above. The ventilation OIL the level
referred TO Il good, owing to the fact
that the cold air p'ssins down the
Crown Point shaft finds Us way to this
level. Tho winxs starting from the
lIOO.ioot level Is down So feet. All OF
the stopc, aud ore breasts oil the diilsr-
levels already named are looking
ilnely.
Tho main adit or tunnel Is being
driven steadily ahead into the hill, fol-
lowing the ledge. The vein matter Is
wide and the rich ore streak has again
wldened out. being today about 20
inches In width, with good indications
OF still further widening. How high IL
extends above the tunnel Is unknown,
a. Il has not yet been raised upon.
Sinking In the winze Is resumed, aud
to day the ore and ledge matter at the
bottom shows much Improvement.
Tho ledge Is about eight feet wide be-
tween the walls.
