Daily yield 400 tons Of ore. Tho ore
slopes from tho 1850 up to tho iioo-foot
level are all showing we'll and yielding
good ore. The ore from the Slopes going
northward on the 400 and that from the
south Slopes on the 165O-foot level Is e.
pecially rich. An upraiso from the 1850

level IL being pushed ahead to connect
with the deep Wine. The heat In this
drift IL very great and the progress ncces-
sariiy slow. Tho north drift on the l7OO-
foot level has been repaired and put in the
beat possible working condition and Is
now being again pushed steadily forward.
The north drift from the Gould a Curry
shaft ON the l3OO-foot level il now repaired
for A distance Of GO feet. making q total
distance Of CO feet now In good working
order. When completed this drift will

made In sinking tho new shaft. although

Daily yield. 500 tons Of ore. keeping the
mills all running NJ. to their full crushing
capacities. The ore slopes on tho iGoO,
1850 and i5O0-foot levels arc all yielding
rich ore. The ore producing sections, In
fact. never yielded richer ore or appeared
more lasting than they do to-day. A drift
has been started northward from the Wine,
| 100 feet north Of tho south line, which
drift Is running Though ore second In
| richness to nothing yet developed In the
| mine. The northeast drift, running TO
connect with tho north WINS, has been re-
| timbered throughout, and Is again being
pushed ahead to complete tho connection.
The mine could not present q better or
more permanent appearance than 1t docs
at this time.

The east drift on the 400 foot level Is
steadily advancing, almost tho entire face
now being In quartz Of a fine character.
On tho i30O-ioot level the east drift is
steadily advancing. the face in bird's-sye
porphyry mixed with occasional streaks OF

level ID making the best VI progress. the
face in quartz. clay and porphyry mixed.
The north drift from the upraise and the
south drift from the station on the HOO
foot level completed . connection day be-
fore YESTERDAY. which greatly assists the
ventilation Of that portion Of the mine,
and will now afford M Opportunity for
further explorations to the southwark and
upward.
