A diamond drill has been run in cross

has tapped the water which is being al

Work has been entirely suspended for .
time in the south drift along the ore
vein on the 276O level on account Of the

The slopes continue their yield Of fine

Increased.
Leviathsn.
Since last weeks report the south
orosscut on the $50 level has been adj
vancsd 8 feet; total length. 100 feet.
The face Is still in vein matter Of . very
promising character, strsaks Of which
ave assays Of $40 to SIS per ton. Dur
ing the past week the north crosscut has
been advanced seven feet. making . total
length OF 80 feet. The face OF this cross.
cut Is in clay, porphyiy and quartz.
This crosscut will have TO go q consider.
able distance before it reaches the east
wall Of the ore channel, judging from
the width Of the ledge on the 6o0 level.
Crown Point.
The WINE from tho 2700 level has
reached a depth Of 27s feet on the slope
below that level and is averaging ak
feet per day. In the crosscut east ON
the Bslcher line q diamond drill was run
in about 100 feet and On countered rock
giving assays Of s.. The drill then
began to give about u bushel Of borings
to two feet Of advance, which showed
that the formation vas caving, and It
was withdrawn. The course OF the drill
will be followed by the crosseut.

sent ahead and not enough water having
been encountered to hinder operations.
Total depth OF shaft 2870 feet-the

been encountered; total length, $50 feet.
The work Of preparing to start the

The crosscut west. 1900 level, TO reach
the formation east Of the old slopes,
continues in heavy vein material rsquir'
ing timbers to sustain It; total length,
lG5 feet. The raise for the north ore
vein is in low grade quartz 50 feet above
the 2lO0 level. For joint workings With

The G. & @. and B. & B. shaft has
attained a depth OF 99i feet and is still
in hard rock. which lets in an abundant
