The diamond drill has been sent east
from the face Of the crosscut on the 1850
level over 100 feet. but has not sneount-

been continued ON down aud lacks about
40 feet OF being to the 2l50 level. The
east crosscut 10 timbsring up while the
drill 10 running. The water pipe con-
ducts the water Of the mine to the Sutro

The south drift on the 1850 level has
attained a length OF 200 feet, and when
the result OF q survey made yesterday 10
known and the drift 10 extended o little
farther. the place for the proposed cross.
cut will be selected. The DRIFT has en-
tered Q Hno quartz formation which
promises we'll.
Hale q Norcross.
The crosscut west shows signs OF

The lateral drift south to connect with
workings from the G. n. S. shaft Is In
lao feet. No change to note in the for

tinues in hard porphyry. A drain ON
the 28l0 10 cutting so as to box and lead
OF what water has been encountered.
scorpion.
Excellent ventilation has been secured
and now the DRIFT east on the 600 level
10 making better progress. but 10 without
material change OF formation.
BULLION.
Have been repairing shaft and easing
timbers. Diamond drill on 234O level
has been run 235 feet and has got q good
deal Of very fine quartz.
sierra.
The machinery was started up Sstur-
dsy, and works we'll. The crossout
south on the 200 level 10 In rock which
gives good assays.
New York.
The east crosscut on the 1900 level
has entered o heavy clay wall. No
