Az will bs seen. the yield 10 unequal,
but the average Ia already nearly up to

Ing, and has before him q good prospect
Of success. for . time at least. The
slopes show NO signs Of giving out.
There always have been places where
there would DO Q falling Of In the quail.
ity Of the ore, bat 1t has been Of but
short duration.
There are two sets Of slopes In the
mine, and these have yielded about
equally. One place is near the incline.
where ore was extracted while Unisn
was stopping. Striking . poorer streak
at that time and not wishing to increase
the working force Of tho mine. this
place was temporarily abandoned. but
has been rsopened recently. These
slopes are now worked on the third and
fourth floors. The second place 10 BE-
tween the 24OO and $500 levels. In the
vein exposed while drifting south from
the winzs.
The only other advance during the
week worthy Of especial notice 10 in the
Hale 4 Norcross. whore work on the
24O0 level north along the vein has
been resumed. This drift Ia to be used
a. q base for crosseuts to explore tho
vein more thoroughly In . search on this
level for the continuation Of the ere body
in which stspss we're opened on the 2lOo
level. There 10 much to encourage the
hope that that search may bs successful.
The progress toward connection DO.
