done. attended with moderately satisfac-
tory results. But little has occurred
during the week worthy OF special men

n recount in detail. New discoveries are
also reported in Cave Valley, and we ex-
meet an extended account from there
during the week.

A visit to tho mine discloses but few
items Of special note, as the main opera
ton of overcoming the water difficulty
still continues The pump has been thor
ouphly overhauled, and the foreman
thinks that by Tomorrow night the bot
tom of the main shaft will be dry and
sinking resumed. The last measurement
showed q depth of twelve hundred and
sixty-six feet. The Superintendent and
foreman express themselves very conf
IDENTIFY, and while they appreciate the
difficulties to be overcome, are not at all
doubtful as to the result. The other op-
erations throughout the mine are being
prosecuted as usual The winze between
the tenth and eleventh levels is down
fifty feet, the ore vein being bigger and
better as they 90 down. The west winze
between the eighth and ninth levels is
now ninety feet in depth, and looks about
the same. The usual amount of ore is
daily raised and shipped. Several i'm
proyements are noticeable about the
front of the hosting works, in the way
of new trsck-bed, etc.
