di"ations in the lower levels of the
Yellow jacket, Imperial, Alpha and
other deep mines, within year we
may expect ore bodies of extent and
richness second only to the Con. Nir-

section the york of sinking deep is
steadily progressing without inter

ilattering prospects. Among those
which are tie deepest and making
the best showing are the Dayton,
Kossuth and Silver Hill, while the
Amazon & Glasgow and some others
are meeting with rich promises, con

We have SAID before, and say it again,
for it should be firmly impressed
upon all who are engaged in mining,
that all we need and what we must
have is depth. Every week we visit
the mines we are more strongly con-

found a summary of our mines. as
personally inspected By us during the
week:
SOUTH ST. LOUIS.
The shaft has been newly timbered
for some distance from the surface

ing will be discontinued for short
time until the prospect DRIFT from
the bottom, running in a northeast
direction, advances some so or 60
feet further, at which point it Is eX-

rack taken from the Groupings are
exceedingly rich III cube gold, large
quantities being visible to the naked
eye. The ledge runs nearly north
and south, and if it faltills the prom
ise rs given on the surface, it will NJ
no great depth show unusual richness.
Superintendent Hynes, aal old ana
experienced miner, has charge Of the
mine.
GLASGOW.
From the Amazon We went into
the north drift OF this mine, which is
80 feet in length. The ore as seen here
is OF the same nature as the Amazon.
corresponding in angle and size. They
have little or no water in this drift.
The only question regarding the
merit OF these miaeS. Of their future
richness, is depth. With that they
will, Judging from their present
ledge, find larger and richer bodies.
The mineS are open to any one who
may desire To inspect them, and we
believe any miner examining the
first and second levels will agree
with US.
DAYTON.
The station on the 700-foot level
has been completed. 1t is what is
termed an "arched" station, and is
the finest in any Of the mines in this
county. A drift has been started
from that point towards the ledge,
which has advanced Il distance of 8
feet. On the 500-foot level the north
drift has been driven 81 feet since our
last report; on the south drift, same
level, 80 feet have been made. the
two being about 450 feet in length
from the shaft. The cross-cu,s will
be run for some little time. The
water causes no inconvenience.
VIVIAN.
This bullion-producing mine is
looking better than at our last re-
port, and, being under the superyis-
ion of Mr.. Seawell, nothing lags
1t looks we'll both in the north and
south. At the 260-foot level north a
large body of fine ore has been I'M
covered, while on the main track
floor south another new body has
been opened which promises a rich
return. Ore is being shipped to the
mill.
