Sinking the double working winze below
the 1000 level is progressing at the ratio Of
1 TO 8 feet per day. the bottom In very
favorable ground. IL IL now down 80 feet
below tho 2iO0 level. following the inclinA-
lion Of the ore vein which ut that point 10
about 3s degrees. The south prospecting
drift on the 500 level Ia entering . very
favorable formation for the development
Of some good ore. Everything Ia working
we'll. and the prospecting Ia being pushed
ahead with all the speed possible.

Tho Sutro Tunnel Ia driving its way d.

work their mine from tho tunnel Lowell ~
soon a. the tunnel should arrive at Tho
most eligible point. This Is now being
looked for and will be made available.

Tho main incline IL timbercd and In
good working condition almost down to
the 1910 level. Tho 1870 station will be
completed In six or eight days more, ready
for future use. An east cross.drift has
been started out from the main north
drift on the 1000 level. ut q point about
100 feet north Of tho bullion south line.
