The stopes are looking and yielding well.
 MOLLIE.
 This promising claim is daily becoming more attractive to mining men. The cast drift from the 30 level is being driven in a fine body of ore, the ledge widening with each days work. The mine never looked better, and the prospects of big thing are excellent.
 CONTACT. Work has agaln commenced at this mine, the drifts from the 100 level being pushed vigorously. The ore body looks well.
 CoPPEROpoLIs (BrsBEE).
 Shaft down 65 feet; all the way has been sunk on the ledge, following foot wall, which dips slightly in ali easterly direc- ton. At 52 feet struck an immense body of red oxide of iron and carbonate ore. Have gone down 10 feet through it and no signs of having reached the bottom of the deposit yet. This body of ore assays throughout over 60 ounces in silver and is so soft thai it can be shoveled up from the bottom of the shalt. Have lost both walls and therefore cannot determine the mag nitude of the deposit. A shed will be placed over the shaft, and the shaft tim bered from top to bottom before further sinking can be accomplished.
 SAN PEDRO,
 Winze on 205 level down 56 feet all through ledge matter highly mlneralized, from which many favorable assays have been obtained. Bottom of winze looking most encouraging. East drift on same level IS in 35 feet from station. Face of drift all in ore which gains in quality as they near the porphyry. On the 232 level are extracting fine ore from the southeast drift.
 HORSESHOE. Northwest crosscut on 225 level is in no feet Face of crosscut still in hard quartz. ite impregnaled with pyrites of iron. The seam of ore Tn centre of drift is widening as progress is made.
 MOZAMBIQUE.
 The two shafts are still continued No l being down twenty.seven feet and No. ? twenty-eight feet Both shafts are being sunk in good vein matter between we'll defined walls. The quality of the ore i'm proves as work progresses, and there is hardly doubt but fine body of ore is in the vicinity.
 GUELPH CONSOIIDATED.
 Still sinking in a very fine body of ore. The shaft IS following the dip of the vein, without any indication of walls. The ore body is about six feet and half wlde and improves in quality as work progresses. Shaft now down apout thirty-two feet.
 BLUE JACKET.
 Good progress has been made here dur ing the past week. Shaft No. is now down nearly 40 feet in q solid body of high grade ore, Shaft No. is down little over eighty feet in Il fine vein of medium grade ore. The tunnel is making geod progress being in about thirty-four feet.
 SEA SURGE.
 Sill sinking on the main shaft, now down about sixty-eight feet. Good pro- gross IS being made, the ground not being very hard.
 Sinking on the main shaft was resumed during the past week, and has now reached depth of ninety-fve feet. The ore body improves, and everything looks promising.
 HOPE.
 This promising mine is now down about no feet and displays fine vein of mineral. The ore body was struck at 100 feet from the surface, and is improving daily.
 OLD GUARD.
 Work is continued on this property with the usual vigor, and everything shows up encouragingly. The drift from the 80 level is being pushed rapidly, and shows up a fine body of ore. The drift from the wlnze, between the 150 and 2S0 levels continues to open up a good ore body, and the quality of the mineral IS also improving, INGERsoLL
 Nothing new to report from this mine this week. Considerable ore is being ex- tracted and much prospecting done. The ore bodies continue to improve, and every thing runs along about as usual. LIMA CONSOLIDATED The incline shaft is now down TIC feet, and followed the pitch of the vein to a depth of 130 feet from the surface. The incline will be continued to depth of 200 feet, when a station will be cut out and q crosscut run to tap the ledge at the point where it branched off from the shaft fine body of ore was exposed, and the indlca. l tions of an extensive mineral bed are ex- cellent. Good progress is being made in the work, and the mine is in fine condi- tio2.
 FRANKLIN.
 Prospecting is still actively continued on this excellent claim, and the indications of fine ore body were never better. FAIR VILLA.
 South drift on 100 foot level extended 2l feet mostly in hard blasting rock. Vein on hanging wall widening with length gained, and carrying more metal. Have obtained very fair assays during the week, showing tendency to make silver. Are now stripping the croppings. Distance | from head of drift, giving width from 12 to IS feet, of a fine character. and extend- ing the whole length of the clam, here barred for about 15 feet. The next 10 feet of drift will show good ore. The condi. tions of workings about the mine are in first class order.
 | RUssELIvILLF.
 On the Peabody mine forty-fve feet of winze is now driven, showing twenty-two 1 feet of ore and twenty-one feet of breast. Drift from the no feet level is in 115 feet. The depth reached in the mine is 155 feet on incline shaft. In all the workings the ore is of first grade Stoping has been car. ried on for the last three weeks, and the upraise measures abont forty-six feet from the main drift. A working shaft has just been started which has reached depth of twenty-two feet.
 The Copper King is looking well. Shaft Il ll. q l
