Tho main south drift on the 1000.
foot level is steadily advancing without
any particular change TO note during the
week. Tho south Wine. descending
from the 1900. foot level to connect with
this drift, will complete tho connection
In about 10 days. 1t yet having about lG
feet to sink to reach the 1G00-foot level.
Owing 10 the intense heat In the main
east drift on the 1700.foot level. arrange
msnts havo been made with the Bsleher
Company, to allow the Crown Point TO
tap the Belchsr mir SHIFT on the 1900
foot level, and conduct a portion OF the
fresh air In pipes down TO the 1700.foot
level. which will greatly facilitate the
work in that portion OF the mine.

drifts, on the 1000.foot level, are also :
making good progress. with NO new y

Is Of a good quality and may yot lead to n
a large and valuable deposit. The II

also showing much better. with occa. u
