The orcprodueing Slopes from the 1850
up TO the ii0o-foot level are looking well
and yielding good ore At every point. On
tho l200-foot level tho north drift from the
Gould 4 Curry has been repaired to tho
south ore Slopes. which are being worked
and the ore hoisted through the Gould
4 Curry shaft. The orc slopes south. on
the i3OO-foot level are also being opened
up preparatory TO the rapid extraction Of
ore when tho repairs to the main shaft are
completed. The repairs 10 the shaft are
being pushed with all possible vigor. and

Daily yield. $50 tons Of ore. The ore
slopes show splendidly In every portion Of
the mine. The mills are all kept running
at their fullest crushing capacities. and
the future prospects Of dividends for long

than now. The regular monthly dividend
Of 81 ,OsO, 900 was declared yesterday. and
