believe we are within bounds in sta ung that the result of the present sea sens operations, thus far, both Tn output and financial returns to the company, was never equalled in the history ef the property, considering that, with the exception Of short period, only one furnace has been in blast, and great amount of dead work has been done
 In fact the development work now in hand Is the most important under taken for years, and as it has pro gressed ore-bodieS have been encouu- tqred which, while not a surprise to the management. yet in extent, and the character and quality of the ore. are fully realizing all expectations. Work on the drift in tho 9th level, to connect tho present works with the new double compartment tlnterloperl shaft, was discontinued Soms weeks ago to avoid How of water from ths mine into tho new shaft, which would interfere with sinking. However, this dnft and tho corresponding enc on the ith level, will scon be driven to com pletion, as he shaft is down as deep as is desired for the present. With these connections made, luOst of the ore wlll be raised through the new shaft, which will make material say ing in the handling of ore, the greater pat of which Is now discharged through tue Moeny incline shaft and the first level tunnel. not without con siderable labor, The new shaft k down about BIO feet or below what will be the 9th level station, and 1t will be sunk no further for the pres. snt. It IS tha intention of Superin- tendont Walker to soon begin the opening of 8 9th level
 In the drifts on the 4th and 5th law els. before mentioned. fine ere was encountered, and tho same character of ore was found also in the Interlo- par sbatt, thus proving beyond a doubt the existence Of continuous ore body, the extent of which, wHlle Dot yet accurately determined, is known to be large, In the drift on the 5th lovel, about l50 feet from the new shaft, a crosscut was started and at 25 feet is in good ore, which is widening out as work progresses, and very favorable results will probably be obtained at this point.
 In the old workings. on almost every level, more or less ore is being ex, ! tracted, bat chiefly on the 1st, 2d and ! 5th levels, where tha showing is ex, csilent.
 A curious feature ar tbe Globe mine and which interested us greatly, isthc hpge mass Of ore that crops out at t5t eld initial monument, and which i now being utilized Tic first shaf on the claim, en incline, was sunk 3 this point He quantity Of ore 1T sigGt < enormous, someof u be,ra ex trcnoly rlch.

 At the mouth of the lnterlope
 shaft there has been erected a larg

 has been constructed across the roa
 southwest of tho shaft for the dis
 charge of waste rock.
 A few weeks ago the water from th 5th level of the mine percolate
 through into the shaft, and fer tim
 i'll such quantities as to occasion som
 annoyance and interference with wor in the shaft, but the flow is now cor
 siderably diminished and is easily cor f trollsd by the pump in use. A pun of 250,000 gallons per day capacity fc use in the shaft was ordered, and now at Wilcox, to be trsnsporte
 hither. When received and placed i
 position in the shaft no fear frol f water will be apprehended,
