Yesterday evening . heavy offshoot or

Some assays from It run as high as SIC.

The incline has reached the 1850 level
and the first station set has been put in.
Sinking is being continued for q sump.
There are no changes on the 1850 level.
The west drift from the station. 1850

now down 1856 feet. Preparations for
the pump hoist and pumping engine are

soon as the foundations are completed.
New York.
Work necessary to secure proper ven.
t~ilation is still going on preparatory to
prosecuting on the 1400 level. In the
meantime the incline IL being carried on
down below that level and the quartz OF
the vein is being followed north on the
1900 level. Some very fair assays are
being obtained on this level and the
formation grows stronger and better as
the vein is followed in that direction.
Crows Point.
The crosscut which has been started
east on the Kentuck and Grown Point
LINE, $500 level, IL in 20 feet. That
from q point 100 feet further south Is
In l5 feet. Neither has yet reached the
vein. The drift east from the station.

feet and stopped. and near It's face a
drift has been started north. No devsl.

Yellow Jacket.
The north winzo from the $500 level
is now down 3l8 fost on tho slope and
has about 100 fost yet to run to reach
the 2700 level. The stump OF tho shaft
below tho 2700 level has been completed
and chutes are being prepared. The
foundation for the new hosting engine
Is about finished and the machinery will
be placed as fast as It arrives. The new
boilers have been already received.

The east crosscut on the 800 level is In.

The east crosscut, 1900 level, Is max.

The machinery is oil 10 perfect order.
The incline timbers destroyed when the
water raised are being replaced and the

work generally throughout the mine.

The east crossout joint with Gould d

feet per day toward the perpendicular Of
the new shaft, the face in hard porphy-

Nothing new to report. Tho two
drifts on tho 600 level are showing
finely In very promising ore indications.
aud sooner or later these must develop
into something OF value. warranted by
