Sinking tho main incline below t
soo-foot level progresses well. but soma
what slower, owing 10 tho hard oharaets
Of the rock encountered and the increas
Of water. The main drift south. open
ing the 800-foot level, Ia now In 4
feet from the incline, with tho face Il
porphyry. Considerable water Is me
with thus far, which, however, may do
crease as the drift passes into the mail
ledge. Good progress Is made with tn
south shaft, and in opening ont tn
fourth station level, the cross-cuts .
which points are, In very favorable look
ing material.
Since last weeks report the face o
the east drift or cross-cut, from thu
WINE, 1l5 feet below the main adit level
has run through q very ino stringor oi
metal bearing quartz, six inches wide,
giving fair assays. II Is q strong fecdel
Of the main ledge. but the anglo Of III
inclination shows the ledge Is probably
. little farther distant than has hereto
fore been supposed. Tho indications in
the face OF the drift to-day. however,
show that II cannot be many feet away
Tho erection Of the new and powerful
incline machinery, is making steady
Roadway. Prospecting on tho 200O-fool
level shows no change Of interest foi
the week. Driving south from tho 1900
foot station to connect with tho north
drift from the bottom OF tho Wine be-
low the 2000-foot level, Ia making excel
lent progress. This connection only
lacks q few feet OF being accomplished,
and when completed will greatly assist
In cooling tho level. and facilitate the
work In that portion Of the mine.

Very favorable progress Is being made
In driving tho main tunnel ahead. the
ledge continuing well defined and large.
and carrying a promising character Of
vein matter. The north cross.cut shows
the ledge to be 40 feet wide at that
point, between the walls, and tho vein
matter Is composed Of very encouraging
material. Tho course Of the foot-wall
Is now being followed by q drift, the face
OF which widcns Ms tho drift advances.

The main south drift, on the 1000.
foot level, shows no material change
during the week. Tho clay seams and
quartz In tho fnco Of the main cast cross
cut on the 2000-foot level. havo consid.
erably increased during the week. The
rock In the bottom Of tho main incline
Is much harder, and blasts badly, so
that much slower progress Is being made
with tho sinking.
Troy Consolidated.
Shaft not sinking at present. Three
car loads Of machinery for tho now
steam hoisting works have arrived, and
tho requisite grading and excavations
for the same are nearly completed.
These works will bc Of sufficient power
and capacity to sink to tho capacity Of
1900 foet or more.
