morning the two pumps again commenced
q steady and united warfare on the Hoods
Of tho lower levels. with tho expectation
that II no break occurs there will DO no
further stoppage until the mine 10 drained

recently started on the 1000 level. are each
making excellent progress, considering the

Tho sutro tnnnel has passed over half
way through the ground Of this mine. and
there Is some reticenco on the part OF the
tunnel management In telling what has
actually developed thus far. Lew grade

good streaks arc said 70 have been met
with. II 10 certain that the prospects arc
very good, and. ~ before stated, full ar
rsngements wero made some timo since
with tho Sutro Tunnel Company whereby
the Senator Company arc to proceed with
the development and working Of their
mine from the tunnel itself. at the most
eligible points and opportunity.
