The SHIFT has attained q depth Of ~
feet, and the sinking Of the sano
being prosecuted vigorously day nnt
night. The shaft has already passe,
through the hard rock encountered du
ring the past month. and that now beinl
met with Is OF q much softer character
admitting Of rapid progress In the worl
Of sinking. All the necessary con,
veniencss Tor developing the mine hav,
been provided. including shait.housc
blacksmith shop. clearinghouse ant
Foreman's office. The indications o
fndisg a body OF ore look more ant
more favorable as the work Of sinking
progresses, and the predictions Of Mrs
Bowers In regard to the discovery Of
large body Of ore seem liable to be yer
fled.
Amassu.
This mine Is situated south Il the
Kessuth. on the same range and on The
sams outcrop. II Is n Of the old To-
cations and Is now incorporated under
the nnmo Of the Amazon Consolidated
This mine 10 well prospected by means
Of q tunnel running into the mountain,
cutting tho vein at a depth OF $50 feet
below the surface. A drift on the hang
ing wall side 1876 feet, shows a true fis'
sure vein the entire distance. carrying
orc which assays from 80 10 $50 to the
ton. A cross.out shows the vein to be
30 feet In width. with fne clay walls.
A working shaft Is commenced to open
up their mine In good shape. The shalt
Is now down Is feet and will intersect
the vein at the depth Of 200 feet.
Niagara.
This mine, which is situated just be-
low the Silver Hill. is one Of the old To-
cations now being properly worked and
brought into deserved prominence. The
shaft being sunk on tho vein ia
now 100 feet deep, and tho last ~ feet
has developed ore resembling that OF the

assay Of 81, $50 having been obtained.
The company are preparing to erect
steam hsisting works, and sink n three

The face OF the drift has cut into about
ten feet OF avery promising ledge. which
gives excellent assays. This ledge runs
northeast aud southwest, with q black
wall 10 the west Of the drift. Ma.
chinery Ia already purchased, capable OF
sinking the shaft 1900 feet In depth, and
soon as the weather will permit, this
will be put In working posi-.

TO develop the great ledge de-
