feet DRIFT has been run west from
the incline shaft, which is in clay and
vein matter of fine appearance. The
flow of water is considerable, but is
easily handled by the pumps. 1t is
expected the west drift referred to
will drain the winze when the extrac-
ton of milling ore will be resumed.
HOWARD.
This location, noticed in a late is
sue, is situated about half a mile
southwest of the Santiago mine.
The groupings are of a reddish char
acter and quite plain. The shaft is
down seventeen feet, all in vein mat
ter of most favorable character.
The pitch of the ledge is easterly.
The locators of this mine are: M. G.
and Geo. p. j. Watson. Robert L.
Jordan is also interested in the loca-
ton.
AMAZON AND GLASGOW.
The water is out from the lower
levels. The work of cleaning out
the different drifts has been finished,
and operations resumed in the third
level south. Superintendent Cald-
well is at present at the Bay, making
arrangements for new and powerful
machinery, consisting of an eight
inch Blake steam pump and fifty
four-inch boiler, sixteen feet long.

SOUTH CoMsToCK.
This mine was started up again on
Tuesday, and yesterday afternoon at
3 o'clock the water was almost all
out and it was expected to place men
in the drifts by this morning, but un-
fortunately the water tank was in
iured, and it was not thought they
could renew work before to-day.
EDINBURG & VULCAN.
Nothing is being done at these
mines, the Superintendent, Mr.. P
Brown, being below. We understand
the donkey engine and fixtures lately
in use in the Amazon & Glasgow
mines have been purchased for them
and will in a short time be placed IL
operation.
The short delay caused in the
shaft by water is remedied, the
pumps with half their capacity
handling it easily. The north and
south drifts on the 500-foot level
are progressing favorablv parallel
with the main e-body. The south
drift on the 300-foot level is also
making good Roadway.
sUCCoR.
Sinking in the main shaft is pro-
crossing very rapidly. The ground
is very favorable. Six hour shifts
are pushing it ahead; put in set
of timbers a day. Excellent pro-
gress is beng made in other por-
tons of the mine.
SOUTH END.
The shaft is down 81 feet in rock
that blasts and works we'll. About
three feet day is male; it is we'll
timbered the whole length; two
shifts of ten hours each are EN-
ployed. superintendent Robinson
is expected back on Saturday.
KossUTH.
The north and south drifts on the
400-toot level continue to progress
parallel with the ledge. The main
south drift on the 350-toot level is
10 lowing the west wall. The pump
haudles the water without much
trouble. The mine looks we'll.
NORTH CARSON.
The new machinery arrived at Car
son last Tuesday, and will soon be in
place. The face Of the different
levels look very favorable. Quite a
rich stringer of the main ledge was
uncovered in grading for the new
works.
DE FOREST.
But small amount of work is
being done preparatory to starting
the main shaft. The Groupings look
favorable and assay satisfactorily.
NORTH DAYTON.
Work in the incline continues. The
breast of the north drift looks some
better. The assays average well, and
the general appearance of the mine is
favorable.
NIAGARA.
The work of sinking the incline
at a favorable rate. The
ground is not as hard as at the time
of our last report, Machinery works
smoothly.
SILVER HILL.
Some little Inconvenience is yet
from water. When the
new plunger is in, no further trouble
Is expected. The mine is looking
we'll, particularly so at some points.
ATLANTIC CON.
Work in the tunnel and cross
cuts is progressing satisfactorily.
Superintendent Brown is expected
in to-day or tomorrow.
wEBBER.
Nothing being done at the mine
for the present. Grading for the
new machinery will be commenced
