alton along the east clay Of the ledge.
The south drift from the 800 station has
been advanced along the east clay Of the
ledge into Fiowsry ground. and . cross.
cut run In some "a feet. This has every
appearance Of nearing the west clay next
TO the vein. The drift into North Boz
nanza ground has already cut diaQonally
into the vein, and shows some fne-
looking quartz, yielding liberal assays.
On the 400 level the north drift has
been carried under the Rule winzs, and
an upraiss Is to be made from this level
to connect with it. Two crosscuts have
been run to the ledge on this line and
will b s'pushed forward as soon a. that
In Flowsry gets into tho vein proper.
The mine looks well-esp'soially on the
800 level.
There Is no particular change In cross.
cut No. 8. 1900 level, o In the north
drift on this level. Both continue to cut
punches OF ore and rich stringers Of
quartz which increase in importance as
the work proceeds. On thu 1850 level
the main lateral drift south and the west
crosscut are sncountering quartz giving
increased assays ~ those workings sp-
proach the formation under he develop

ingsI from the new Waller Defeat shaft
turn out from So to 60 tons Of orc per
day. Of which the greater proportion il
OF high grade. The slopes continue
their favorable appearance and show
signs OF increased yield rath or than OF
exhaustion.
Cousolidatsd Isnpeital.
The north drift, 1900 level, is averag.
ing 6 feet per day toward the point
where the joint Alpha winze from the
24OO level will intsrssct IL; total length,
256 feet, the face in quartz and por-
phyry. The joint winxs above mon.
toned is down 297 feet on the slope, In
making 4 feet per day and cutting . mix.
turs Of quartz and porphyry. Every.
thing has been prepared, and the south
drift, 1900 level, started to connect with
the Crown Point, which mine will raise
the water from the lower levels when
this connection il made.
Opnir.
The incline is 80 feet on the slope
below the $500 station. The face IL in
a favorable.looking formation contain
ing strinRsrs Of quartz. The east drift.
$500 level, Is in 70 feet and 10 passing
through vein porphyry. The north and
south drifts from the bottom OF No. !
winze and ON the 2l00 level arr both
making good progress, that to the south
still showing good ore, and that to the
nor,h in o fine formation OF vein matter.
Usual repairs are being made to the
shaft.
sierra Nevada.
Tho ore slopes ON the 1900 level con-
tinus to look we'll and are yielding their
s. tons per day Of good ore. Tho bot
tom OF the incline Is in the same general
formation heretofore reported and 10 IL
feet below the 2400 station. The flow
OF water still averages l25, 600 gallons
per day. Tho incline will DO continued
on down some IL feet for o stump which
will take u couple OF weeks yet. The
24O0 station will then bo opened.
sutro Tunnel.
The tunnel needs rstimbering next TO
the Savage connection and the four
gangs there working have been dis
charged, as this work needs to DO done
slowly and we'll. Work elsewhere IL
proceeding as usual. Tho sub.drain
will be completed about the middle OF
July. MI. Sutro, declares. however,
that this need make no difference with
the mines, as he has contracted to take
their water.
Julia Consolidated.
The temperature Of the 1900 and 1000
levels have been lowered considerably
since the connection between tho Hale
& Norcross and the Julia branch Of the
Sutro Tunnel. As q consequence. re-
pairs to the workings on the 1000 level
are progressing more favorably. On the
1900 level, the upraise for the sheaves
above the winze has been tho object Of
special attention.
Cslisornia.
The joint Consolidated drift west. $50
level. is averaging AZ feet per day
through hard porphyry. Joint crosscut
No. /, 1850 level, Is in fsvorabls-look-
ing quartz, which is, however. OF low
grade. The north drift, 1850 level,
from No. 3 winze, is in 80 feet. Sink.
ing has been resumed Of the O. q O.
shaft, the tank station, 1850 level, hav-
ing been completed.
The work OF rstimbering the incline
is about completed. Repairs on tho
l6OOlsvsla are going on as usual. Thspipe
which is TO convey the water OF the
mino to the Sutro Tunnel il being sunk
and covered to avoid tho heat. The
pump column above this level 10 being
taken out. The water II about at q
standstill.

Connection has been made between
the Joint Union winzs from tho 1000
level and the upraise from tho 1000
level and the ventilation on these levels
