STEVENS.

he west shaft of the Stevens has now
he'd a depth of 1O2 feet. The sinking is
work on account of the water met with.
shaft is an incline, following the vein
n on a dip of about 60 degrees. Three
-hour shifts are engaged sinking the shaft,
ch would be put down rapidly but for the
/ amount of water to hoist. The vein, at
bottom of the shaft, is six feet wide, three
|of which is first class ore of high grade.
h week levels will be started east and west
the shaft that will open up the ore body
hape to stope out, when the exact extent
richness of the ore can more easily be az
at. 1t looks we'll and prospects well.
Ne middle shaft on the Stevens is being
by one day shift, and is of the incline

been fairly resumed in sinking. The ore

le east shaft on the Stevens is being
ped down daily, passing down IN a fine
of excellent ore. Little water is encoun-
as drainage is derived from the pump
of the Morning Star, on the east, and
the shafts on the west line Of the claim.
ANSELMO.

be incline shaft of the Hope mine is be-
pushed downward daily, and is making
progress, having now attained a bottom,

S at present, the work being confined to
sinking. The Hope adjoins the Ansel,
Pn tle west, and is a location on the same
vein. LeTel running will be started

Pt abont 35 feet deep, which is the presen,

htion of sinking, which. is in tolerable
granite. 1t is the intention Of the own
push the shaft down so or Is feet and
\ e~ross-cut for the vein, and if the water
not flow in too freely the Belcher will
gain an ore-producing mine.
