sinking the shaft deeper for the new level.
Considerable increase Of quartz Is met
with, coming In from tho westerly side
streaks and punches OF which show
. good character of ore which will assay
we'll. Superintendent Hood is OF tho de-
cided opinion that the water comes from
from the main ledge itself. and thst the
shaft is In reality cutting into easteriy out
skirts Of the ore vein.
Caledonia.
The north drift on the 1000 level Is
steadily advancing, the face still in quartz
mixed with clay. the fiow Of water being
steadily Increasing. The face Of the main
east drift on this level Is still In vein por-
phyry. Sinking the Joint winze on the
northern line below the 400 level has been
resumed and Is making good progress.
Ths water in the bottom no longer gives
any trouble. The face Of the main south
drift on this level Is still In favorable vein
matter.
Crown Point.
The main south drift from the bottom
Of the winze on $500 level Is being pushed
ahead at the rate OF eight feet per day. the
face still In favorable blasting ground. and
will probably complete . connection with
the north drift from the Belcher some time
during the coming week. The south drifts
on both tho 800 and COO levels are being
pushed ahead. but show no developments
Of value ~ yet.
Lady washingtou.
The north drift on the ll50 level 10
steadily advancing. the face In quartz and
ore Of q very encouraging look. This
drift Ia being run on the west side OF tho
ore vein. Tho north drift on the 1900
level Of the Justice will reach the south
line Of the mine In . very few days more.
when II will be driven directly ahead to
prospect the Lady Washington at that
depth.
Observation-Disclosures shan.
During the first part Of the week the
usual progress OF ~ feet per day was
made with the sinking OF tho shaft. It's
now down 2.2G2 feet perpendicular. The
flow Of water has shown . steady increase,
amounting TO $500 gallons per day.
Since Sunday the sinking has been sus.
pended In order TO splice out the ropes 80
as to lengthen them sufficiently TO do the
work. As soon as that 10 done sinking the
main shaft will DO resumed.

drift on the 1850 level Ia In . distance OF
ls3 feet, the face In quartz. The north
drift on the 1850 level IL also making good
following the west wall OF the
ore vein. II Is now In 3ss feet.
Alpha.
The north drift from tho 2iOO station OF
the joint winze on tho Imperial north line
Ia steadily advancing. the face In vein por.
phyry mixed with quartz and clay. These
streaks Of quartz afford very encouraging
assays. It 10 the intention TO o o start
both east and west TO determine
tho value Of the ore vein on that level.
