North Bs.assa and Rlswsry.
Tho incline shaft is making good pro-
gress along down the east wall Of the
ledge. There has BEEN made within the
last day or two Q careful survey Of the
workings OF the mine in order to ascer.
tain through the old and new evoava-
tons the exact position Of the ledge, 90
that the crosscuts may b run moro un-
derstandingly. The result Is not yet
figured out. In the meantime the cross.
cut, 800 level. into Flowsry ground Is
being advan oed through the cap rock OF
the vein. On the tunnel level this cap
rock was about 10 feet in width, but 10
wider on this level. The north drift,
same level. has cut through the clay and
Is in this formation and looking promis.
inRly. Thsnorth drift. 200 level, Is show.
ing no material change. The crosscut I'M
der the Rule winzs 10 giving more indica-
tons OF reaching the ledge. No change
in the other workings.
Gould 4 Curry.
Saturday work in the face Of the east
joint crosscut. 100 level. will be re-
sumed. Some $50 feet Of old drift on
the 100 level have been cleaned out,
through which extend pipes to connect,
by the Savage winze from the 1000 to
the 1900 level. with the Sutro Tunnel.
A 13.inoh pump column Is to conduct
the water OF the mine and all north on
the lode up this winze. The Osbiston
shaft is down 610 feet. The flow OF
water 10 very strong. Grading Ii being
done on the surface for q new set OF
boilers. and the foundation for . pump
hoist is being prepared.
Mexican.
The connection between the joint
Union winze from the 1000 level and the
upraise from the 1000 level to meet it
has greatly improved ventilation on both
levels. Some time this week yet . cham.
Der will be eIcavsted on the Union limo
from which to carry q large winze down
to the $500 level. A joint 0phir winzs
ia to be soon started from the 2l00 level
to be carried down to the $500 level.
Rstimbsring the incline is completed.
Similar work in the 1000 drift north
connecting with the Gould & Curry is
still going on. Putting in the drain to
the Sutro Tunnel connection. The
pumps and pump column oil the per.
| psndicular shaft and the incline above
the 1910 level will all be raised to the
surface this week.
During the past week there have been
no particular changes in either crosscut
No. 8 or the lateral drift north on the
1900 level. On the 1900 level tho main
| drift south aud the west crosscut are
both in q strong formation Of mineral
lied vein material. No change in the
Waller Defeat ore slopes since last re-
port.
The incline is making slow progress
below the 2400 level. and some 10 or IL
feet still remain to complies the stump.
The flow OF water continues at about
lac, 900 gallons per day. This, however,
ia readily handled. There II no material
change in the slopes. The breasts cor.
tinue to look and yield well.
Leviathan.
Nothing Of importance to report in
either Of the lateral drifts north and
south on the 750 level. Both are making
very satisfactory progress, considering
the hard nature OF the ground. More
quartz is coming in at the face OF the
south drift, with streaks Of ore yielding
fair assays.
The Porman shaft Is down and tim.
bered 725 feet. There has been q
stronger flow Of water OF late. but the
pocket seems exhausting itself. Usual
progress il being made in extending the
north drift, 1000 level, and the winze
from the same level has attained adepth
Of $50 feet.
Golden standard.
Good progress Ia being made in the
| Joint Standard tunnel which 10 to inter.
sect with the Homestead shaft. Next
Monday the company will commence
sycavating q side chamber preparatory
| 10 sinking q prospect winze on the ledge
encountered in the tunnel.
JuIis Consolidated.
Repairs to the south drift. 1000 level,
have passed the hottest point and are
making better progress. The upraiss
| above the 1900 level. for the working OF
the WINE, is also progressing well.
New pipes for compressed air are being
placed in the shaft.
Consolidated Imperial.
The north drift, 1900 level, is now in
$40 feet, and without change OF material.
The south drift. same level, toward
Crown Point, Is making good progress.
The winze joint with Alpha Is now 320
feet below the 24O0 level, its bottom in
quartz and porphyry.

Lowering the pumps to the $50 level.
The east crosscut on this level Is in q
softer formation. consisting Of vein por.
phyry carrying pyrites Of iron. The west
crosscut is still In hard rock. Still drift.
ing north and south on the GOO level
along the vein.
Consolidated Dorado.
Everything has been put in excellent
condition. preparatory to starting up the
mine with q full force Of men. The ma
chinsry is in complete working order,
and the work will be pushed ahead Wig
orously.
