VIRGINIA, New, 13th.-The face
of cross cut No. 2 in the 1,900-foot
level of Ophir has been In ore since
yesterday. The ore cut into assayed
all the way from $3.50 to 1870 per
ton. AS the cross cut advanced to
the west, however, the grade of ore
fell somewhat and the lowest as
says of yesterday are the highest of
to-day. Cross cut No. 3 is being
driven to the ore to-day as fast as
the best appliances and hardest
working men can do it. There is
nothing yet in the face of this cross
cut. The level having cooled suf-
ficiently since connection between
the east and west drifts to admit of
it, work in the winze east of the
ore body will be resumed at once.
The engine at the chamber is being
repaired to-day and sinking will
afternoon or Friday morning. The
winze is now down about twelve
feet and is expected to cut
the ore body at a depth
of 80 to 100 feet. The Wine
from the 170O-foot level is being put
through as energetically as possi-
BILE. This is the most important
operation now going on in the
mine as it is intended to supply
fresh air to the 1900-foot level and
greatly lessen the cost Of prospect
ing operations. 1t is believed that
fifty feet will be made this week
and that this unusually rapid rate
will be kept up until the 100 and
1900-foot levels are connected.
