they are extending the ~cross-cuts wsst
from the main incline, and making good
progress. The north drift has also beer
connected with the Wine from above
and good ventilation secured; and they
will now be enabled 10 cross-cut the weir
and test its value. Drifting south In the
vein will soon be commenced to develop
the southern part OF the mine. The
c~ross-cuts on tho 2000-foot level are the
same a. at last report. The orc breasts
continue to improve. Upper levels with

New shaft down 400 feet to-day. The
main west drift from 1t Is o in 20a
feet toward the vein. and the face shows
occasional stringers Of quartz which
give low assays and are evidently
feeders OF the main vein. Tho other
prospecting drifts are getting along fine

ion that 90 Don as connection q be

worked, which will pay from $40 to $50
per ton under the stamps.

Still drifting west at tho S50-foot level,
with no important feature to note.
Work is temporarily suspended at the
75o.foot level. but drifting will be 70.

Rock Island.
Considerable water Is met with in
sinking the main shaft, but good pro-

quartz which gives excellent assays in

driving ahead a usual.
Globe Consolidated.
The bottom OF the WINE, and face OF
the drift west, at the 4O0.foot level, are
still in quartz and looking very well.
Tho drift progresses ahead ut tho rate OF
three and four feet per day.

Tho main drift at the lO76.foot level
