Ophir line. The lace OF the south Drift
from the Ophir Is still in blasting por-
phyry. with a slight seepage Of water.
On the 1850 level north drifts No. l aud
No. 2 have been connected. No. I Is
now being driven vigorously forward,
the face still in a very healthy and IA
vorabls vein formation. The repairs TO
the main east and west drifts connect
ing the Consolidated and G. *. @. shafts
ON the 1850 level. are being continued
a. usual. A drift west has been started
on that level to run back 30 feet from
No. G vinzs and then connect by means
Of IN upraise with the level above. The
daily yield Of ore is $50 tons, keeping
the California mill steadily at work
crushing. A dividend Of 81 per share.
aggregating $40. 900, was declared from
the surplus funds on hand on the 7th in
slant, payable on Monday, December
10th.
The extraction OF ore from the 1900
and 1000 levels is going steadily for.
ward. There are o COO tons OF ore in
the dump ready for shipment. II is the
intention in 4 very few days to start up
the Brunswick mill on this ore, there
being now ample ore in sight to keep
the mill running for some time to come.
The fiow OF water from the Union Con-
solidated drift ON the 1000 level gives no
trouble whatever. The main northeast
drift on the 2i00 level is being pushed
vigorously forward, the face still in
porphyry OF a coarse. birdseye character.
which gives a light ssepage Of water.
The main north drift ON the 5000 level
is steadily advancing, the face In por.
phyry carrying. strsaks OF clay and
quartz. This drift is 10 in 479 feet.
The main incline has been sunk and
timbered to q depth Of 30 feet below the
2200 level. OF which II has been stopped
and cutting out the 220O station COM
msnced. The bottom OF tho shaft Is
still in the same soft favorable character
Of rock found for u hundred feet or more
above. II will take some time to get the
300 station in good working shape.
When that is accomplished prosecuting
at that point will be commenced.
