An average Of 2 feet per day is being

being vein porphyry. Having reached
q point 200 feet east, the crosscut on the

will now be continued till connection is

drift connecting with ophir has been
graded. and the pipes which are to con-

all laid by Saturday. at which the new
pump.rods will be in place at the @. q

on the 2l50 level is being followed both
ways, aud both drifts are In good ore.
the vein being four feet in width.
Crown Point.
The crosscut north near the Kentuck
line, $500 level. Is being extended by
the diamond drill. which has just got
into successful operation. but has not
penetrated far enough yet to reach the
ledge. The crosscut next south Is ready
for the prospector when It has done Its
work where II IL. One hundred feet
still further south the third crosscut has
been started and Is in 10 feet. II will

leaves the other crosscuts. On the 270O
level the north drift is IN GO feet; no
change OF material.
Consolidated Imperial.
Since the connection Sunday night
between the 1000 and 2l35 levels by the
joint Alpha winzs the ventilation OF the
mine has been greatly increased. The
connection Is being enlarged through
that portion made by the raise. and
when completed ventilation will DO still
more improved. The two crosscuts on
the 2G00 level are now being pushed
with greater energy. the faces continu.
ing In vein porphyry emitting very prom
ising streaks OF quartz.
