matte and perfect than 1t has ever been
10 the past. Sinking the main south
incline was resumed day before yester.
day. some delay having been e1per-
fenced In clearing out the stump and
getting everything in proper working
shape. The face OF the south drift on
the 2200 level is still in poor ore and
barren quartz. The face Of the north
drift last evening was in 10 feet, still in
rich ore. II is likely that this ore may
improve somewhat, but il seems almost
u certainty that after passing through IL
tho same poor ore and barren streak OF
~porphyry struck in the drift G5 feet fur
ther south will come in and cut of the
rich ore. A drift north ut this station
is being started TO connect with the
north winze below the 1900 level, when
1t shall reach that depth. The explora.

connection at the earliest day possible.

southwest drift on the 1900 level is being
pushed vigorously forward. the face in

The joint Hale X Norcross east drift
on the 1000 level is being pushed ahead
at the very rapid rate OF 10 feet per day.

the 2lOO level, from the bottom OF the

Enlarging and retimbering the main
north drift on the 1900 level, connecting
with the 0phir shaft, is making the best
Of headway. Sinking the joint Union
Consolidated Wine is also making good
progress, the rock in the bottom being
much softer. 1t is now down 81 feet on
the slope below the 1000 level. The
hosting facilities have been increased so
that more work can be done aud the

softer and working much better. The
repairs to the north drift on the 1000

A breakage OF the incline cable during
the first part Of the week created a delay
OF q day and a half in the progress OF
the east drift on the 1000 level. This
DRIFT is now in G22 feet and is being
pushed ahead with all possible vigor to
reach and connect with the Combination

cline 20 feet below the 2000 level.
Everything is now running well.
