The new pumps at tho i5oo-foot level
are doing splendid work. Tho plug has
been Withdrawn and the fiow Of water
from the face Of tho main east drift on the
170o-foot level is bsing gradually drawn
Of and the face Of the drift again ad-
vanced. Al soon Is tho water Is suficisntly
drained the other crosscuts will DO for
wsrdsd In every portion Of the mine and
the value Of the east ore vein determined
in q very short time. Sinking the Wine
below the isO0-foot level Is making the
beat Of headway. II Ia the intention a.
soon % the i9O0-foot level 10 reached TO
start Q drift north to connect with . Wine
that Is TO be sunk on the Best and Belcher
line, and another south to connect with
the Savage Joint Wine. At the same time
the main incline shaft will DO sunk 10 the
i90O-foot level and an east drift run which
will connect with this east Wine and the
north and south lateral drifts.
