been attained. Cruss-cutting from bot
tom of west winze has been commenced
and it is expected to cut the vein within
ten feet; but little ore is being taken
from below the 11th, the company pre-
feripg to wait until connection - made |
with 18th drift, when it can be extracted |
at one-third present expense. Consider |
able prospecting in the upper levels is |
being done. The prospect at Alps |
proper is very encouraging. The ledge |
has been cut in the uprise in lowest |
level; large stream of water was en-
oountered, which interfered with the |
work; the upraise and portion of the
tunnel has been timbered during past
week; drifting on the vein will be re-
sumed to-day; some very rich specimens
were found in the vein when first cut.
DAY MINE Owing to the stormy
weather but little work has been done
during the past week. The new body of
ore mentioned in our last issue as having
been discovered in the south drift, has
developed into quite large body of rich
ore. An uprise, as well as WINE, has
been started on it; in both it still con-
tinues, and appears to get wider in The
winze as depth is attained. No change
I in the north Wine. Owing to the stormy
weather but little work has been done on
the new or northern incline, now down
about fifteen feet, showing we'll de-
veoped vein five feet wide. The lower
main tunnel continues in promising
formation.
RoUGu RoADs.-The large number OF
snow storms and the rapid melting of
the snow almost Immediately after it
reached the ground, have placed the
roads in and around Phoebe in fearful
state. The Meadow Valley Wash has
received its full share of the storms, in
consequence of which ranchers find it
almost impossible to haul their hay
from the valley. What could formerly
be hauled by two horses it now takes
four and six horses to pull the load,
and even then they do not get along
without IN extra dose of profanity from
the drivers. The roads to Panacs, Bull
lionvills, Royal City and Bristol are all
in like condition.

3 DAMAGE, ETc.-the constant wash and
dripping from the melting snow and
rain has caused some damage around
o Phoebe. A cave from this cause occurred
: between No. and the Washington &
!, Creole, which took several wagon loads
of dirt to fill up; cellars have been caving
and the rear portion Of one OF our res
. taurants went under, the cooking uten-
. sils being buried beneath the rocks and
dirt. A few days of pleasant weather
will, however, remedy all these little
: accidents.

thing is now prepared for vigorous WORK
unless prevented by the elements.
