The value OF the gold in the bullion was

so. In addition to the ore extracted
| there has been raised from the mine
during the past year GOATS tons Of
waste rock.
On the 1000 level the only work done
has been In keeping the north drift con.
Meeting with Mexican, open for vsntila-
ton. and in running south to the Cali
fornia for the purpose Of connecting
with the main line OF water pipes which
were laid from the @. j. @. shaft south
through the intervening mines to the
| Savage connection with the Sutro tun.
mel. and through which the water OF the
mine now passes.
On the 100 level work was confined
to keeping the main south drift to the
California north line and the drift north
to the joint Mexican winzs down to the
1900 level in good repair. and also joint.
ly with the California company the east
crosscut on the southern boundary. and
the winze down to the 1900 level. This
was for purposes Of ventilation.
On the 1900 level no work was done
except that necessary to extract ore
| above that level.
On the 1000 level q thoroughfare was
established through the mine and has
been extended to the Union shalt. Thor.
ough ventilation on this level was at the
same time secured. A large vertical
| double WINE has been sunk joint with
the Mexican from this drift to the $500
level. This winze has passed through
alternate streaks Of hard porphyry aud
vein matter. the vein matter having a
westerly dip. showing some quartz
| which gives low assays and q marked
improvement in depth. A west cross.
cut has also been run, jointly with the
Mexican Company. to q point 326 feet
west Of the main north DRIFT, passing
through q similar formation to that
encountered in the joint winzs. Strong
indications OF water having appeared IN
the face Of this crosscut, work was tenn.
porarily discontinued.
On the 2l0O level q drift has been run
northeast to the Mexican line. A drift
south from the bottom OF No. ! winze
has been run in the Hardy vein to n
point l43 feet south Of the winze. The
ore passed through continued Of good
quality for q distance OF los feet south
Of the winze. and from thence to the
end OF the drift gave low assays. An
upraise was made at point 10 feet south
OF the winze, aud continued up through
the vein to the level above. passing
through good milling ore. A drift north
from the bottom Of No. l winze has been
run in the Hardy vein to Q point 2l0
| feet from the winze. This DRIFT showed
n favorabls-looking vein material and
strsaks OF quartz for q distance Of l95
feet, when nm improvement took place,
and il passed into good milling ore,
| showing a width OF about three feet.
This ore continued for a distance OF "a
feet, when the quality deteriorated and
| showed low assays for o distance OF l03
feet, ut which point 1t passed again into
| good milling ore, showing wider than
the face Of the drift. and still continues
in the same material. An upraiss from
n point 60 feet north OF No. l Wine has
been carried up to q connection with the
1000 level. 1t passed through the same
| formation as shown In the north drift
! for n distance Of 40 feet, when II passed
| into good milling ore. which continued
to the level above. At q point 100 feet
north OF No. l winze crosscuts were run
to the east and west. The east crosscut
was continued to o distance Of Is feet.
and passing into hard. blasting por-
| phyry, was discontinued. The west
| crosscut was run to q distance Of 80 feet,
passing through vein porphyry carrying
streaks OF ore. and showing the vein to
DO at least 81 feet wide at this point.
On the 2200 Level . drift having a
| southeasterly direction has been started
| from the station and viii be continued
| in that direction to cut the Hardy vein.
On the $500 level q drift has been run
north to the Mexican line, and 10 to be
continued to the Union shalt. This
drift passed through q vein formation OF
clay and porphyry. with occasional
streaks Of quartz, showing good i'm.
provemen. over the material encountered
ON the 1000 level. A west crosscut joint
with Mexican is passing through q
strong vein formation, showing some
good GRE. A drift has been started from
the end OF the main east drift in o
southessterly direction and run through
u vein formation. but has not yet reached
| the Hardy vein. From that point q
| drift has been started in q southerly di.

California Company to the c. x O.
shaft, completing the system Of main air

and G. 4 G. shafts.
On the 2400 level q crosscut has been
started and has passed through q very
manufacturing vein formation. having
a westerly dip for q distance Of It's feet.

which still continues. This crosscut

A drift has been started north on the
