Last Sunday night o food Of waite
was tapped by the south drift from tn

level. stopping all work in that portion
Of the mine, and flooding the 10000
station OF the shaft. The amount O
water Is now gradually ~lessening, tn
pumps keeping II down below the sta,

In the face Of the drift. Pieces OF quart,
and ore brought out by tho flood o.

Tho prospects on the $50 and $50
foot levels for valuable developments
are steadily ON the increase, and now
that the now pumping and hoisting ma
chinery 10 about completed, are being
looked forward 70 with q groat amount
Of interest and confidence. As o az
the pumping machinery has been thor

The new pumping machinoy will oil
be in good condition to commence drain.
ing the lower levels Of the mino by Mon
day next, everything, so far rs tested,
working with the utmost perfection.
Once the machinery is all In good run

OF the week, a delay wal madc In sink.
ing the main incline, lasting for two or
three days; the damage. however. has
been repaired, and everything is again
running smoothly. Tho face OF both
east cross-cuts on the 200-foot level arc
still in clay, mixed with strcaks and
spots Of quartz.
Everything in and about the mine Is
now In the most complete running or
der. Sinking the shaft has been resumed.
II IL now down 100 feet. An average
assay Of tho ore In the bottom OF tho
shaft. yesterday. gave q result Of Sl4 10
In silver and SS7 80 in gold, making q
total OF Si02 02. The arrival Of tho
new hosting works machinery is expect
ed daily.
