obliged to-day to omit our weekly detailed
report Of the work done in each mine. and
In lieu thereof give a condensed summary
Of the situation in each mine to date;
At the ophir the dow Of water from the
Union Consolidated has almost entirely
ceased. The remaining water from that
mine Is being now taken by the Sierra
Nevada. The water has been drained from
the main incline. the track and timbers
repaired. and the debris. mud and other
waste matter taken out Of the bottom. and
the sinking resumed. IL will take but .
very few days to reach the 220O level. On
the 1000 level the character Of the vein mat
ter In the north drift continues TO improve.

quartz and ore. all more or less perforated
with fino veins Of ore. which assay from IS
to $50 per ton. The pump and water tanks
for receiving the how Of water from the
east drift ON the 2lOO level are well under
way. and will be ready for service In y
very short time.
In the Union Consolidated the dow OF
water Is gradually subsiding. and work in
the Joint winze ON the Mexican line has
been resumed aud Is making good pro-
gress.
The Virginia and Truckee Railroad Is
being extended northward TO furnish sup
piles for the North Consolidated Virginia
shaft. Al that mine the surface prepara-
tons for the new machinery betoken the
erection In . short time Of hosting works

The shaft will not only In tho course Of

Union Consolidated aud Mexican mines,
but will. before IL reaches the depth Of
22OO feet. penetrate the very heart VI tho
new Sierra Nevada bonanza.
At the Sierra Nevada work Is being
rushed ahead at all points with all thu
speed possible. On the surface the grad
