The ore body recently developed in
the north drift on the 200.fo level has
greatly improved, and is now being ex.
tracted for milling. The Hope mill is
now being rapidly fitted up under the
able management OF Superintendent
Chaplin, and will b, started up by the
first OF next month crushing ore from
the mine.
The main north drift OH the l200-foot
level is steadily advancing, following the
fine streak OF ore recently encountered,

about the usual progress, the rock in

The face Of the south drift at the
fifth station has been advanced % feet
during the week, the face still in por-

The ore development in the west drift
from the bottom Of the winze at the
head Of tho incline is proving much
more valuable than was at first sup

that the tunnel will soon run into quartz.
No water intcrfcres, and good progress
is consequently made.
The water is still kept down below

flow Of water, however, Is still too great
to admit Of q resumption Of the work OF
