to bother. In our last report we
mentioned the chambering out and
timbering for early use the station on
this level. The drift running south
from the 500 foot level is being car
rIed along side of the ledge and is in
good working ground. The same
plan is being pursued in regard to
the north drift from the same level,
but is in much softer material. 1t
is the Invention to continue this drift
for considerable length before
prosecuting is commenced, so the
mine will be thoroughly open for
exploration when that work is be-
gun, which will develop the wealth
it contains. In this the managers
show their good judgment. The
drift south on the 300-foot level is
being pushed ahead toward the Kos
suth and ALEXANDRA ground outside
the regular vein. 1t is now over
500 feet from the shaft with about
400 feet of UNEMPLOYED ground ahead
which promises as good ore as was
stopped out and milled near that level
some time ago.
SILVER CITY.
The raise from the track floor of the
Tunnel has now reached a h.ghth of
35 feet and in better ore than ever
extracted from the mine since the
early days of its bonanza wealth.
A large substantial chute has been
placed in this raise which gives them
greater facilities than heretofore for
the extraction OF pay mineral. 1t is
expected the 25 feet intervening be-
tween this raise and the other ohm
ney of pay ore will be cut through
within week, forming communi-
cations that will at less cost not only
enable larger shipments, but open a
chamber of over hundred feet of
fine quartz. Prospecting continues
in other parts of the mine with fiat
tering prospects, while the ore is
still accumulating on the dumps
awaiting transportation. In every
respect the mine is more promising
now than at any time since its pres
ent Incorporation.

Notwithstanding the water they
lately struck. Their fine shaft when
down to about so feet being thor
oughly timbered, struck a body of
water, making it necessary to hurry
the machinery already ordered,
which will be on the ground in a
few days. 1t is the intention of the
company to sink the shaft to a
depth of 300 feet. At the time the
water was encountered they were in
a good quality of quartz bearing
considerable free gold, resembling
Crown Point and Belcher ore in
many particulars.
EDINBURG.
This favorable location, situated
southwest from the Amazon and
Glasgow mines, are making good
progress, having their shaft down
about 100 feet, the bottom bsing in
good blasting rock. The Company
are al present erecting buildings
over their mine and expect to have
their machinery upon the ground
within two weeks, the Superinten-
dent being below at present making
arrangements to this end. They ex
pect to strike the ledge at about 500
feet. Mr.. +. IL. Mitchell, the fore
man, is pushing the work rapidly
ahead.
SILVER HILL.
Last Saturday the pump was placed
in the incline which is beng driven
ahead by the use of Burleigh drills
which will increase the progress.
Connections through the mine have
been made with the new condenser.

ing. Work in all parts of the mine
is progressing rapidly.
KossUrH.
The south DRIFT running from the
500-foot level is in about so feet.
The north Drift from the same level
nearly 80 feet. The south drift on
the $50. foot level is in about 800 feet
south from the main shaft; from this
drift a cross-cut has been COM
menced in an easterly direction. 1t
is in about 40 feet the whole length
showing quartz of an encouraging
nature.
AMAZON AND GLASGOW.
Superintendent Caldwell is now in
San Francisco on business relating
to these mines which are daily i'm
proving. The latest advices report
the cross cut on the third level as
being in good body of quartz
yielding fine assays. Other develop
meuts in the mines are progressing
satisfactorily.
COSMOPOLITAN.
Under the supervision of the new
foreman rapid progress is being
made in the development of this
mine. The Wine following the
ledge down is looking better, and
yielding very satisfactory assays.
Work is being pushed ahead rapidly
by eight hour shifts.
WEBER.
Nothing new to chronicle. The
Superintendent is pushing work
ahead with his we'll known vigor.
The shaft is down to depth of
about 60 feet, still in good blasting
rock. Everything pertaining to this
excellent location points to an early
realization OF the stockholders an
ticipations.
