width OF the ore at this depth could INF

acteristics of ~permanence, the ledge pres
ed a very satisfactory appearance. As
as the foot wall is reached levels win

largely increased. In the first level, rund

in stopping and are getting out a considens

Active operations continue in the west /,
middle shafts. During the past week the
ter has produced some of the richest ore Cd
seen in the camp. Mr.. Meader has a md
moth specimen on exhibition, assays of viii
show it to contain GOO ounces of silver perl
and so per cent. copper. Should this quail
OF ore continue to the deep, and should
continue to increase in dimensions as
now increasing, the Bell will not only bel
richest mine in this district, but one of
most valuable properties on the coast.

There is no material change to report

ore produced shows 10 decrease either
quantity or assay value, enough being ID
extracted to keep the mill in continuous

AnseEmO.
For a mine upon which as yet very u
work has been done, the Anselmo mako
most satisfactory showing, for, although
shaft is but IS feet deep, some 800 OH
quartz is being produced. When ow
report was made, a platform had just b
put in IS feet from the surface and an
and west level started. Up to last night
drifts had been extended II feet each VI
showing the ore vein to be regular, weN1
fined, and, as all those who have eXaminsl
we'll know, surprisingly rich. The drhts1
be run 70 feet east, and the same did1
west, after which the ledge will be sd
out. The ore is being reduced at the Y
RADIO smelter, though from its close RED
blance to that of the Alice it seems that With
initial roasting it could be much more pro
ably milled.
