@ During the past week important devel-
n opments have been made in this mine.
In the cross-cut on the 160-foot level an
important strike has been made, consist
ing Of gold quartz ledge of width of
two feet, the quartz on being pulverized
showing fine specimens of free gold.
Assays of this ledge show it to be worth

portions of the mine night and day. and

Mr.. Blair is at present laying aside the
gold quartz from the cross-cut, as the
mill has all it can do to work the other
ore extracted daily.
RAYMOND & ELY.
Late on Monday night the pump of
this mine succeeded in draining the
shaft dry, so that on Tuesday extra
pump rods were placed in position and
N sinking was commenced again with ex-
traordnary vigor. Since that time the
pump has kept the shaft in dry state
so that the progress in the work OF sink
ing is not interferud with and before long
we are in hopes of chronicing fine
development of ore below the water
level. A very rich strike was made on
the l000-foot level, which grows better
daily. The shipments of ore from this
mine, which we publish to-day, show
conclusively that there is plenty where
that came from. the amount of ore being
about 600 tons and no shipment being
made on Friday on account of the engine
being sick. This is fair showing but
we hope to make better one soon.
