therefore sustains itself better, ani
causes less trouble In keeping the tim

old Apple shaft Is also making fns pro-
gress. As o ~ q sufficient depth ID
attained, the two shafts will DO con-
nected by drifts for ventilation and pros
pecting purposes. Operations on the old
Sierra Nevada Tunnel level have dsvel-
opsd nothing new during the week.

Sinking the main shaft below the
third station level Is making good pro-
grsss. Owing to the deep SHOWS and
the bad state OF the roads. the hauling
of ore to the mills was suspended q few
days during the past week. and a. the
ore dumps were all full. the extraction
Of ore rom the mine had also 70 be
suspended for the time being. The

third station level Is In . dne qaality OF

ing itself a fine development.

Sinking the main incline Ii making
excellent progress. The incline Is fast
approaching the l7OO-footle level, at which
point a new station will be opened and q
drift started to prospect the ledge. The
main east drift on the l60O.foot level 10
is being pushed ahead toward the ore
vein rs fast as the nature Of the work
will permit. The ore breasts between
the 1900 and li00.foot levels continue to
yield q good supply Of good ore. The
ore breasts ON The I3O6.foot level are
also yielding q considerable quantity Of
good orc. Daily pield. 400 tons OF orc.

Sinking the south Wine on the ore
body found in the south drift at the ant
station level, has been stopped by q flow
Of water for tho present. This water

There il but little doubt that some good
developments will DO made when the ore
vein Is reached ON that Lowell.

Preparations are being made for the
erection Of new and powerful pumping
machinery for draining the water from
the shaft and prospecting the mine to q
much greater depth than Il has yet been
prospectsd. There IL little or no change
to report Of tho prospecting operations,
either north or south on the 400-foot
level. Work is progressing we'll at all
points and the prospects continue to
look quite favorable.

The north Wine, from tho second
station level. has made connection with
the north drift at tho third level. greatly
improving tho circulation OF air in that
portion Of the mine. There 10 no par
tieular change to note Of sither OF the
north drifts on the second and third
levels. The south drifts on those levels
both show q decided improvement in the
character Of tho quartz and orc PEN

Gould q Curry.
The new pumping machinery Is in
fine working condition, and the water
drained from the shaft 10 below the
l7O0-foot level. The north drift on the
l7O0.foot level is being pressed ahead
with all the vigor possible, to connect
with the south drift from the double

Prospecting on tho 15O0-foot level has

The only work being done in the mine
