quarter the news is favorable, and
with the opening of spring with in
creasing facilities for work new To-
cations are being made and greater
activity prevails throughout the dis
trict. AS the developments north
increase in permanency and merit,
the faith in our mines is greater, and
announcements of more flattering
character are presented. Below will
be found the latest and most accu-
rate information regarding the same.
DAYTON.
The work of cutting out the sta
ton on the 700-foot level is getting
on we'll. When finished, the drift
will be driven toward the ledge.
The shaft is 30 feet below this point,
but no work is being done in 1t at
present, owing to "a strong flow of
water, though as it is decreasing but
IA few days will elapse before work is
again commenced. The north and
south drifts ON the 500-foot level are
now in nearly 400 feet, both as here
tofore running parallel with the
ledge. They will be run short dis
lance further, may be so feet, before
any cross-cuts will be run. No work
is being done on the 300-foot level.
Cross-cuts will be run on this and
the 500-foot level at the same time,
when important developments may
be expected.
SILVER HILL.
The water has entirely disappeared
from the incline since the large new
pump has been placed therein. The
depth of the same is $50 feet, and
work was commenced again to-day.
The east drift from the 444-foot level
is progressing finely in vein matter,
encountering occasional rich punches
of ore. No inconvenience is felt
from water in the winze near the
north line. Everything about the
mine is now working well, and SUI
perintendent Van de Water will lose
no time in furthering developments.
COSMOPOLITAN.
The raise from the main tunnel has
reached hight of SO feet, thorough
" timbered to the face, which is in
better ore than heretofore encoun-
tered, and which is being saved for
milling purposes. The air has i'm
proved so much lately that work
was commenced in the tunnel this
morning, which will be continued
northward. Ten-hour shifts are en-
gagged in both places. The general
appearance of the mine Is very salts
factory.
HARTFORD.
Mr.. John Kneeland, from San
Francisco, large shareholder and
representative of this company,
started men yesterday to work on the
claim, which is on the hill almost
opposite the Silver I'M. rne tunnel

it to the surface, atfording good VEN
tilation. There is also drift run
ming south from the tunnel dis
lance Of about 400 feet, following
the ledge.
SOUTH CoMsToCK.
Water no longer gives much if
any Inconvenience, and appears to be
daily decreasing. The length Of he
west drift is about 400 feet. 20 of
which is in vein matter of very
favorable character, some fine spoci-
mems Of sulphurets of molybdeuum
being found in the rock.
KossUTH.
Work is progressing without any
DELAY. The south drift on the 500
foot level is in nearly 400 feet, while
the north is nearly 40 feet. The

raise has been started from it to meet
the winze from the 200-foot level.
No trouble is experienced from
water.
SOUTH END.
The shaft is down 60 feet, all well
timbered except about 20 feet, which
will be Lone tomorrow. Occasional
streaks of ore are met with. The
incline is down 40 feet. The ore
vein in 1t is between two and three
feet wide, and assays quite high, pre-
dominating in silver. The grading
is about finished ready for the ma
chinery.
GLASGOW.
Regarding water, the same may be
said of this mine as of the Amazon,
both being worked with the same
machinery and through their comb
nation shaft. The south and main
drift on the third level is in 81 feet,
the face of which is in white quartz
containing strata of good ore.
NORTH CARSON.
The foundation for the new ma
chinery has been completed, and the
same is being put in place. BY our
