Below will be found authentic and re-

favorable for something better ahead.
The formation in this part Of the mine
differs In some essentials from that
opened up farther north. Preparations
are making for more rapid work In
sinking the winze below the 1900 level
from the main DRIFT on that level. The
engine in use will sink to the depth OF
100 feet, and then q larger u with reel
and skip will be used. Sinking pro-

The principal work Of the mine is

The work OF placing the foundation
for the $500 pump is net completed NOR
is the station cut out yet. The latter
work will in q day or two 30 sufficiently
advanced to admit Of the starting Of the
drift which is to connect this station
with that on the $500 level OF the Sierra
Nevada incline. The work OF cutting
out the fourth compartment Of the shaft
progresses iavorably.
Cheiiar.
Since last report nothing has been
done except bailing and pumping. The
suspension Of operations for the lack Of
water on the surface allowed that flowing
in the G. N. s. shaft to raise into tho
2400 workings, and they have not yet
been freed from IL. As soon as they are
