Sinking the c. x &. shaft below the

be resumed for some time. as there Is
much work to be done on all the levels

Daily yield. 200 tons OF ore. The ore
slopes going north on the 1860 and 100
levels still show finely and are yielding
good ore. The repairs to the Consoli.
dated Virginia shaft are making steady
progress and are now completed to the
1900 station. Sinking the G. & G. shaft
is also making fair progress, the bottom
in hard blasting ground and the flow OF
water being still very strong. The great
heat ON the lower levels Is gradually
subsiding. which enables the workmen
TO do a much larger amount Of work on

Consolidated Virginia shaft OIL the 1850
level is rapidly advancing toward the
north line. the face in favorable vein
porphyry. 1t is now in a distance OF
100 feet. Wine No. 6. below the sill
floor Of the 1850 level. is down 10 feet,
the entire distance in ore affording low
assays. The south lateral drift from the
bottom OF the joint ophir winze on the
1850 level Is stopped for the present on
account Of trouble with the water and
bad air. As soon Us this Wine Is con.
uscted with the south drift on the 1000
level OF the Ophir. work in the face will
be resumed. This 1t will probably take
two weeks yet to accomplish. The main
north lateral DRIFT from tho Q. 4 @.
