For o wonder. all things considered,
the market has recently given some little
response to tho exceedingly favorable
developments OF the mines. There ID
good opportunity still for further move
ments OF the kind.
In the course Of another week Sierra
Nevada will resume prospecting. The
favorable developments there may well

the Union pumps will be ready for use
and then the fear OF water need no Longer
cause vexatious delays in following up
favorable indications.

The joint ophir.M Mexican crosscut east

for the mine to exceed both present
hopes and expectations before the winze

driven on the 5000 level and in ten days
three crosscuts there will be running.

Ophir.
On the 2lO0 level and in the orc body
east Of the Hardy vein the sill floors are
being extended east. making double sets
in width for stopes. Indications are that
these workings are in the apex Of an ore
body which is entirely distinct from any
hitherto encountered in the mine. II

the main east drift and in the Hardy
vein, is penetrating vein porphyry; total
depth. 40 feet. On the 1900 level the
north drift along the Hardy vein has
attained q length Of l25 feet, and con.
tinues to cut vein matter carrying some
quartz. The south drift along the same
vein is in o similar formation; total
length 1874 feet. The north drift along
the same vein on the $500 level has q
length Of l3S feet, and is in vein por.
phyry. Tho joint Mexican crosscut on
this level is in q heavy quartz forma-
ton, portions OF which assay very well,
but which is not milling ore. The high
est assay yet obtained is S3S. Length

drift ON the $500 level Is in soft vein
porphyry, which requires to DO closely

The main incline Is now So feet below

and giving out some water.
