Weeks run, $40, 900, from 1,066 tons Of
ore. Refinery, S55, 900. Dispatched by
Superintendent R. Richard, May IL: Dur
ing the past week operations have been car
ried on with the usual regularity. The
200 northwest drift has been extended five
feet in hard limestone. The new ore body
in the end Of the 200 main west drift,
which is now called No. 16 chamber, is
opening out very well; as far as explored
it shows a length Of so feet and Is feet
wide, and q height Of rs feet, with ore
standing in the top, bottom and end, and
it bids well to open out to a large ore body,
and it being in new ground it is Of great
importance. The 400 north from No. II
chamber has been extended seven feet with
out any change. The 400 north from No.
10 chamber has been advanced 9 feet in
very favorable looking ground. The 500
north from No. IL chamber has been drifted
IL feet in low-grade ore and limestone.
The rise in the back of No. IA chamber has
been extended IL feet in ore and broken
limestone. The 600 west has been ex-
tended 10 feet in good ground. The 600
No. l west from south assure has been
drifted seven feet in hard ground. The
600 crosscut from No. 2 west has been ex-
tended six feet in favorable ground, and
a rise has been started, and is up eight feet
in the same character Of ground as the
drift. The 100 west on assure has been
advanced II feet without any change to
mention. The 800 rise has been advanced
five feet in very hard ground. There is no

Telegram sent May 10 The winze be-.
low the 500-foot level, referred to in my
last report, has been sunk 6 feet-rock
very hard, and ore about 6 inches wide;
but work has been suspended for o few
days, as far as sinking is concerned. and an
upr9ise commenced Herewith over the
Wine, the object being to cOnnec with ore
body preferred to in my last, found at 40
feet) above the 500-foot level. The cross
cut from the south drift ION account Of the
ore changing its %course) being too far
south. The ore body which was referred
to in my last as being found 40 feet above
the 500-foot level, and which / stated as
going down east OF the Wine, has widened
to about 6 feet. The depth we do not know
Of course; the ore has also improved in
value. The upraise from the 400-foot level
has been connected with the crosscut from
the 300. The ore body where the connec-
ton was made was very small, not more
than l foot wide and 8 feet long; but near
these we have raised above the 300-foot
level 10 feet, and the ore body is now about
8 feet wide by 10 feet long, and we are TAX
ing it out as we go. At the 350-foot level
Tor rather the upraise from it, more par
ticularly described in my report Of
April 21st) we have stopped drifting from
the upraise, and are drifting from the $50
foot proper, to intersect the ore which we
find going Town from the drift at the top
of the ~upraise. We shall drift
ing at the 400 foot south as soon as bids
can be received and approved of before
drifting further in the direction of the
Home Ticket from the 500 foot level. 1t
will be necessary to continue the south
drift from the west crosscut so feet in a
southerly direction to get to the end lines
Of the Home Ticket. The continuation of
that on the 400 foot level will have to re-
main until the result Of the drift in the 500
be known. Have shipped about 90 tons of
ore this week, and have about 25 men at
work, and about four tributes working.
Telegram, dated June 8: The ore smelt-
ed during the week was 1919 tons, and pro-
duced net rather over $40 per ton. The
quantity Of ore extracted during the week
is ia tons.
