south, at q depth of 80 feet, for the
purpose of intersecting the discovery
ledge. The men are in about 80 feet,
but will not reach the ore body nearer
than 30 feet farther. A very c0nsid-
cradle amount of f0O-tunce silver
and SIS gold rock has been taken
from the west level of the mine, 95
feet from the surface. The main
shaft is down $50 feet. but the mine
is filled with water from the 15O-foot
level. Early in April the engine
and two Knowles pumps, now at the
mine, will be started up, the water
taken out, the mine cleaned, re-
timbered, and put in order for more
extensive work in sinking and cross
cutting. Four men, only, are at
work.

been started from the so foot level,
on the 6 # vein. A No. 4 Knowles
pump is in place, hosting works
have been erected; the engine is set,
tanks are ready for Use and in two or
three days this mine will start on a
basis and be ranked amongst
the steady producers of rich ore.
Sinking will be prosecuted to- depth
If 200 or 800 feet and other thorough
explorations take place.
