 Work is being vigorously prosecuted on the Keystone and the mine is being rapidly put into proper shape for working. During 5he past two weeks the men have been cleaning out the east and west drifts on the I50-ft level. The east drift has been put in borough order and a car track laid down. The west drift will be finished in about two lays when the work of stoping out ore will commence. In the west drift the ore body yidens out to five feet for a considerable distance and the first work will be to stope
 
 put at this point. While this Is being done he work of pumping ont the 2O0 foot level will be carrled on, and it is also proposed to ink the east air shaft to the depth of 2O0 .eet, thus securing thorough ventilation on he POO foot level. It lis not proposed to sink the man shaft which is now down 265 feet, any deeper until new boiler and pump is put in position. A new wire cable will be put on the reel in a few days in the ,lacs of the rope LOW in use. There are t present four men working in the mine in addition to the engineer and bucket tender, but pr. Brown. the superintendent, informs IS that the force will be largely increased IS soon as men can be put on to advantage We very glad to see work start up in earn st on this mine, as it is too good . prop -rty to be allowed to lie idle and we believe that if it is properly and ecOnom- ically worked it will furnish ore enough to laep the five stamp mill belonging to the company running ali the year round.
