Biily yield, 100 tons Of ore. The o,
breasts on the 1900 and 14o0-foot level
are yielding the usual amount Of ric
ore, with no signs Whatever Of givin
out. The development OF the ore bod
iss north on both Of these levels Is press
ing close 10 the California line. an,
there seems no longer a doubt but tina
the same rich body OF ore will DO foun,
on the corresponding levels OF tina
mine. The east c~ross-cuts Nos. ! and 2
on the 1500-foot level. are still carried
forward TO the eastward in an spparentl,
limitless body OF the richest possible do
scription OF ore. No east wall has yel
been reached in either Of these cross
cuts. The north drift on the 1550-fool
level has advanced 20 feet during the
past week, the entire size Of the drift In
magnificent ore /; in fact. a quality oil
sulphurst and rich chloride ore, that
surpasses anything found on the Com
stock since the rich chimney OF the old
Mexican mine was worked, In l8G0-Gl.
The winzs being sunk in the orc body
below the 1555-foot level is down AZ
feet, the bottom in the same character OF
.extravagantty rich ore rs that being PEN
etratsd by the north drift. This vast
and almost incidentally rich orc body
seems to be extendingin every direction,
no limits having been reached in any
drifts or cross-cuts, and, II possible,
grows richer with every stroke OF the
miners pick In a downward course.

Sinking the new shaft Is making slow
progress, owing to tho strong and steady
fiow OF water encountered. The pumps
ars kept steadily at work. and o young
Of water kept flowing from the
shaft. Although the headway made at
present Is slow. the immense quantity
Of water being drained must in time
gradually reduce the supply until 1t will
give no further trouble. The east ross
cut In the Sacramento ground has pene-
tratsd q fne body Of quartz with spots
Of good ore intsrmixed. The ore body
in the north drift from the old Sierra
tunnel is yielding fine ore, and
Eives promise Of a lasting development.
The ore breasts in the old upper work
ings are yielding 65 tons Of ore per day.
The mill Is kept steadily running on ore
from the mine. n good supply Of wood
and other necessary supplies ars being
laid in, and the future continues to look
bright and prosperous.

The cross-driits on the 200O-foot level
sre still pushed vigorously ahead with
but any valuable ore developments dur
ing the past week, Notwithstanding
which the Indications aro sufficiently en-
,ouraging to warrant n continuation OF
he explorations in that portion Of the
nine. On the 2l00-foot level the main
vest crsss-cut has been extended n dis
.ance Of n feet from tho station, the
lace in very promising vein matter con-
some ore, but not enough to pay
'or the cost Of extraction. The main

below the 2l00-foot level.

Some very promising stroaks Of ore

Daily yield. Go tons Of ore. The ore
,rsasts on the station level are yielding
insly. as are also those ON the third
evel. The ore breasts going south on
he third level are looking remarkably
rell. The main south drift on the
Iecond station lsvOl is still driven vigor-
,usly ahead, without change. The
,orth drift on the same Lowell, running
the Cherokee line, is also making
rood progress.

The main south drift on the ls5O.foot

The Wine from the l500.foot to con-

. depth Of 1870 feet. and is passing
in vein formation. New

vhich work well. Tho water is now
nearly drained from the l70o.foot level.
