yielding rich ore. The lateral drift On
the iGOO-foot level has 4 vast body Of rich
orc uncovered ready for extraction when

advanced 10 the northward. The mine has
an immense body Of ore yet untouched,
enough TO keep the present complement OF
mills running for at least q year TO come.
Tho main car tracks, orc shutcs, drifts,
and air winzes have all been undergoing
repairs for several days past. An oppor-
tunity for this work was given by the
stoppage Of the California mill. which has
been running steadily for . year past, and
was in need Of rsnovating. The repairs,
however. were all completed AMI the mill
started into full operation again at noon
