The assays from the 700-foot level
of the Ontario yield over 700 ounces.
The ore from which these assays ere
! taken was Immediately from the point
where the ledge was struck.
The Woodside No. 2 is shipping
two tons of ore daily. averaging forty
eight ounces Of silver and A per
cent. lead to the ton. Drifting on
the strike of the vein is progressing,
the present distance 10 being ninety
feet.
Developments on The JeRnnette.
Thayne's Canon, continues most
favorable. Firm ore streak of from
tWensy TO twenty-iour inches that
assays from $40 to $50, and in this is
solid streak from four to Eve inches

The 800 station Of the Bonanza was
completed to-day. Its dimensions
are 6x24. The men commence cut
ting for the 400 station tomorrow. Il
is to be 1925. The pump station
on this level will be completed in
about three weeks, when e Blake
pump, with a 200 gallon capacity,
will be put in place. The pump now
in use is raising 100 gallons per min {
ute from depth OF 300 feet.
A safety cage is TO be placed in the
old shaft of the Ontario and q new
sire cable has been ordered for the G
new. The zoo station is to be white
washed and given an airy appearance q
The new Knowles 14-inch plnnger on r
this station is working admirably and
raising 1000 gallons OF water per
minute. 1t has relieved several
pumps on upper levels, whereby two 2
of the fourteen boilers are in disuse.

cords per dag. Hitherto it has re-
CURED at the nina fifteen tons OF coal 7
and twenty five cords OF wood daily. q
The new machine shop ia being put I,
in ship shape and will be large snd
convenient. a sluice beneath the
track on the drift from the 700 foot II
station keeps the rails dry and is p
new feature in the mine. The Cornish p
pump is ordered and will be larger
than originally intended. It will o.
have q 22-inch pluDger. The pump a

short of the time the 800 level is
reached Drifting to the west on the
300 and 400 levels into ore not opened p'
up, but work on which was sban- Oh
Toned, two or three years ago. has Oh
and rich ore found. Oh
This work will develop claims on the
vest end. Drifting on the vein on "a
he ZOO level will be deferred until es
pumps from upper levels can be "
brought down, the rush of water in
being feared.
