ments we deduce the fact that they an
ticipate. and are providing for an un
Interrupted run of many months. The
members of the English Commission
have been busy during the week in
v~estigating the affairs of the company,
their inquiries extending to all the
qualifications and branches insepara bic
from the operations of so vast a con.
Germ. Their conclusions will be laid
before the shareholders on their re.
turn to London, and they promise to
furnish a most interesting document.
CONSOLIDATED.
The ore body on the nth level is
holding out we'll and yielding its usual
quota Of ore. Considerable work is
being done between the SIXTH and sew
enth levels, and is resulting in the
finding of a very fine deposit of ore.
All OF the ore extracted in the past two
weeks has run much higher In lead,
and has increased in the yield Of prec.
ious metals, a fact that adds largely to
the value of the bullion product. The
drift in the seventh level is progress
ing slowly, and is now in a distance of
43 feet. The men have been retarded
In their operations by the water over
flowing the DRIFT during the stoppages
of the machinery. The new cable re-
ceived last week has been put in
place, and these delays will be obviated
in the future. The working force has
been temporarily reduced until such
time as the drifts, which have been
filled up with ore and waste, can be
cleaned out and raised to the surface.

again on the first OF next week. The
company's affairs are in a very pros
porous condition, and under the able
superintendence of Mr.. Arlington, the
mine will soon become one of the best
properties in the district.
JACKSON NINE.
The explorations and extraction of
tie ores from the Jackson has net been
attended with the success that was
promised at the starting up of the fur
mace. The deposit has proved to be
carbonates of a light character, which.
while carrying u profitable noun of
the precious metals, lacks the percent
age of lead necessary to make smelt-
ing a successful operation. We are in
formed hat the ore yields but twelve
per cent. lead, which Is not enough To
Justify its reduction by the ordinary
process. 1t is probable that the work.
ing force will be greatly reduced on
the LIST prox., and work in the mine
will be confined TO the sinking of the
shaft a further depth of 100 feet and
the opening out of a new level from
that point. IL is to be hoped that this
new work will develop a deposit of
heavy galena ores, but its prosecution
will re'ard and probably end further
reduction until such time as it is con
pleted.
THE CONNOLLY.
The Connolly mine is looking ex
ceedingly well. On the l60 foot level
from the main tunnel a splendid body
Of ore has beeu encountered, and is in
process Of development. AT the go
foot level a Wine is being sunk, which
shows the most favorable indications.
The bottom of the Wine is ia ore of
high grade, and Manager Potter in
forms us hat he will carry the Wine
to a sufficient depth to determine its
extent and value.
TIL INDUSTRY.
The Industry, which is under the
management OF The Hartnett Bros, is
shipping ore very regularly to the
fuanace, and its reserves will yield a
large quantity of rock suitable for re-
duction. The ores from the mine are
heavy galvnas, and are much sought
after at the furnaces.
HAMBURG I
A winze is being sunk in ore on the
450-foot level; the ore being opened up
Is of fine quality and carries a heavy
percentage of lead. The extraction OF
ore has been resumed in the slopes OF
the old Wade shalt, which is % con
nected with the main shaft by a drift
from the $50 foot level.
During the past week several small
veins of rich ore were cut in the west
cross-cut. $50 o o level. This cross
cut will be continued until the quartz
tie foot wall is reached.
South DRIFT, $50 foot level, Is being
rapidly advanced tc wards South shaft.
1t is run in very favorable vein mat
ter. Ventilation throughout the mine
Is excellent.
MOhllMEh MINE.
A fine body of ere has been devel-
oped in the 100. foot level below the
tunnel, assaying from $3.50 to s2l0 per
ton. A shaft will be started from the
surface at an early date to connect
with the shaft from the tunnel level.
BALD EAGLE.
Very little has been done at the
Bald Eagle during the week, the pro-
prieto.s awaiting the result Of negotia-
tons now pending. looking to the
transfer Of the property to a San Fran
cisco company. II is very probable
that the sale will be effected, but II not,
a larger force OF men will be put at
work next week extracting the i'm
mense body of ore now in sight and
exposed to view. The main body was
estimated at a value of $40 900 by the
experts who recently explored the
mine, and since that time further de-
| velopments have been made at q point
100 feet lower than the ore visited.
THE METAMoRAs.
There has been no change in the sit
