A Runsing Review OF the WORE
Prospective Operations - The
Water Stationary.
The news from the north end today is
Of nm encouraging nature. The Wine
commenced ON the $500 level OF the
Union Consolidated. is down % feet in
ore, from which car samples give an
average assay Of SAT per ton. The s1-
tent Of the ore body is not known. but
the work to develop 1t is being snsrget.
icslly carried on.
The connecting DRIFT between the Mex.
lean . Union and Union . Sierra Nevada
wines will be timbersd and In proper
shape for work Friday. Work will then
be resumed in Mexican at the point
where ore was found. This ore. 1t will
be remembered, was found in the south
drift some time ago, and work was
stopped until the two WINES mentioned
above were connected. that work might
be prosecuted to better advantage.
Preparations are being made al the
Gould 4 Curry and Best 4 Belchsr
to resume sinking the shaft. Work in
the west crosscut there has been dis
continued for the present because OF a
scarcity OF air. The compressor at the
Gould 4 Curry works Is being over
hauled and will shortly furnish all the
air required when work will be resumed.
The northwest crosscut to connect with
the G. & G. Wine is still being driven
ahead and will not be stopped when
sinking is resumed. There is yet about
go feet to run to make connection.
Everything would indicate that the
management OF the north end mines
propose to put men at work at every
point where work can be prosecuted to
advantage and thus, in q measure. re-
iieve the hard times and keep up faith
in the lode.
The Savage connection between in.
cline and drift has been made and the
lower levels are rapidly cooling of.
Prospecting operations will be shortly
begun there on the 2i00 level.
