cred in tie upper levels. The east drift
on the o(O-foot level is in go feet, and
will be continued until it taps the veiu
heretofore found in the Stewart shaft,
and at this point the vein will he cut
ANl feet below the surface. The west
drift on the oO(-fOot level is In 300 feet,
md exposes II vein Of very good ore.
The stones are being raised and consfd-
crnble ore extracted. The west shaft is
down 1856 feet. The south vein will he
more thoroughly drained before the
sinking of the shaft is resumed:
The main vertical shaft on the Origi-
nal Butte has attained depth or 20
feet. with very hard formation III the
bottom, the average progress per day
being Ii feet. When the 3N-foot sta
tion Il reached a cross-cut will be run to
cut the vein. This shaft is double
compartment, and we'll timbercd and
equipped with cages with safety attach
ments. The cross-cut south on the lOO
level was advanced about ~ feet and
cut strong vein of fair grade ore. The
west drift from the face Of this cross
cut follows the hanging wall of the vein
for 40 feet. (und therefore does not cx-
pose the width of the vein,) ut which
point winzc is being sunk, and Is now
down 80 feet, with considerable water
in the bottom. The south cross-cut
on the 2'N level is in 100 feet, II, d the
west drift from the face was driven %
feet on the vein. At the station on this
The different drifts and crOss-cuts are
timbered with l2xl2 lumber and put up
to stay.
The Moose is only prospect, with
shaft down 20 feet OH the north wall OF
the vein. The latter carries we'll in
silver.
The main incline on the Clear Grit has
been widencd tOn accompaniment, and
has attained II depth Of IS feet. The
pay streak in the vein il II inches in
width and averages from top to bottom
l5O ounces in silver and SIS in gold per
ton. The east drift, 6O-fOot level, which
il in 80 feet, shows Il vein the pay streak
in which averages l foot wide. The
west drift is in 80 feet, and for the first
~ feet the pay ore in the vein averages
foot, and the remaining 81 feet shows
"A vein 3 feet wide but at much lower
grade. The vein has been stopped out
on both drifts for ~ feet, and about $50, :
100 worth of ore extracted. From the
face of the west level the south cross
cut is in II feet, uncOvering an ore
body IA feet wide of from 30 to 40
ounce ore From the face of this level
IL shaft was sunk 45 feet and crOss-cuts
run north and south. In the bottom
there is IL granite horse II feet wide.
The vein in the face OF the north cross
cut is Is inches wide and carries IA,
ounces in silver; and in the face Of the
south cross-cut the vein is feet wide Oi
4O-ounce ore. The new hosting works
recently erected are of sufficient capaci-
ty to sink 900 feet Some very hand
some Snta.iulens showing wire. and horn
silver were taken from the bottom of
the shaft II few days since.
The main shaft OH the Anaconda has
attained Il depth Of 800 feet, and is still
being driven down with all possible dis
patch. The powerful hoisting works
are in good shape, and the general pros
poets OF the mine excellent. The Ana
conda has the reputation of being one
of our very best properties.
