THE MORNING STAR.
This is another one of the mines of this
district in which most gratifying deyelop-
ments have been made since the MINERS
last weekly report. In the winze runni pp
from the one to the two hundred foot level .
body of rich ore some thirty-two inches wide
was uncovered a day or two ago, at a point
about 30 feet below the 1OO-foet level.
This ore averaged SO ounces to the ton, and is
now, on the lower level, found to b. fully
three feet wide, and of a uniform richness.
MIR. Faraday. is now endeavoring to Cd n I'D
the lead thoroughly, and feels of course, highly
elated. He never was afraid of net finding fine
ore, but was agreeably surprised at discover
ing it before reaching the main shoot, which
has no yet been tapped. This is supposed
TO be about 125 feet west from the shaft on
the 20O-foot level. To-mor CIV operations
will DO stopped in this "dear | tile winze," in
ord + 10 sink q stump from the Z25-foot level
down. Three shifts Of men vii be worked
constantly.
THE
A large body of ore has been uncovered, in
the past few days, on the four-hundred foot
level. This ore body averages about sixty
ounces, and shows a pay streak from four to
i've inches wide. 1t was found at a distance
of only fourteen feet west, on the center vein.
The east drift on tie four-hundred foot level
was started yesterday. Raising is still pro-
crossing on the 3O0-foot level with good re-
suits. Tie east drift on The 300-foot level is
in about l20 feet, being now only about 30
feet west from the Alice line, and showing
good ore.
The air compressor has been used in the
Moulton for some time almost exclusively for
ventilation. This is necessary until more
connections are made, and this being the
case, it has been found inpracticable to run
the power drills with tho air compressor.
Contractors get S. per foot for work with
power drills, and from ST to So per foot with
hand drills. The compressor will run six
drills when used fer that purpose only, and
when its full force was used for this purpose
only it is calculated that The company saved
some $54 per day.
Work on the foundation for the new Corn
nish pump is progresslngsnight and day. AS
soon as it is finished it will require but little
llme to set the pump in position. The foun-
dation is made of lime and Portland cement,
in the proportion of one part Of lime to ten Of
cement. The preparation hardens as soon az
it can be put in, AMI is an admirable substi.
tnte for cut stone.
II ORIGINAL.
But little if any change is to be reported il
this mine. Stopping is going steadily on i'll The
200 foot level. Ore recently taken out ha
been very good.
THE ALICE.
E3in the Alice but little variation is to DC no
tic4d from ons week to another. II it wer'
a new bonanza Or a played out mine, sharI
changes might be observed. As it is, work !
going on steadily on all the levels, and Id
usual quantity of ore is being taken out dali
of the usual average value
THE MAGMA A
Il rich development has been made i'll tn
Magma Charta since last week. About 2

from the 800. tool level. The shaft is no.
down 80 feet. Ii Tie cross-cut south on tn
2OO-toOt level a five TO 1t vein was uncoVere
about 50 feet from the shaft. This ore is hrs
class, and is part Of the same vein Which Wa
struck on the 3UO-1oot level. The Howlan
pulyerizer has not b4en in operation for So
l eraI DAYS. on account of a deficiency OF watt
1 for its pans and settlers. 1t will require
: .ood deal Of pipt, AIM considerable time ar
e trouble to bring water over from the Allc
In the meantime the pulveriZer must take
o rest, Six tons of ore were run through 1t
II about twelve hours Just before the water su
ply gave out.
Il THE STEVENS
Work is progressing smoothly Oh all tt
p levels. TIL ore uncovered i'll the east II
e vest drifts ofthe 2O0-foot level is ahont Il
sa ne as it has been for some time. Opel
e tions were begun yesterday sinking the o
: west shaft, in which work was stopped ON a
% count of water some six weeks ago. On t
Il 2OO-fo0t level, in the shaft, a drift will be n
east to meet the west DRIFT on the 2oO-[t
level in tue main shalt.
