 Judge J. D. Reymert, president of the company, was in Florence this week, and he gracefully acceded to the request of THE ENTERPRISE for infor- | nation relative to the progress made | under the new management. Judge Reymert said:
 Since April l, 1889, the sum expend ed in improvements, enlarging the capacity of the mill, machinery, build ings and explorations in the mine, was about $160000, of which $75,OO0 was derived from voluntary assess ment and the balance from the pro- duct of the mines.
 We have increased the roasting capacity from twenty tons to sixty five tons in twenty-four hours and have all the machinery necessary to treat that amount.
 Up to March 1st, the mill had run but 196 days out of 321, owing to the deficiency in the water supply. The mines are worked upon the same sys- tenn as previously; that is, they are timbered wherever the ground is soft or unsafe, we are following the Assure which appears to be continuous the whole length of the seven claims nearly two miles.
 We have sunk an air shaft on the Alaska mine to connect with the America tunnel 716 feet south; that is, extended the Alaska tunnel 510 feet to point where it connects with the Alaska shaft and continued it LOG feet further The previous work in this tunnel was 435 feet, and its total length is 1852 feet
 We have extended the first tunnel in the America mine, 139 feet, making its total length 169 feet.
 Have sunk winze on tunnel AT feet to connect with the first level at point 92 feet from the America shaft.
 Have sunk shaft on the Alaska 135 feet, at which point connection is made with the America and Alaska tunnel.
 Run tunnel on the Asia 54 feet to a cross cut of 15 feet, and sunk shaft 32 feet, drifted 10 feet into the Asia, and continued 35 feet into the Aus tralia ground.
 Run tunnel in the Africa 1855 feet, from the bottom of the hill to the vein; drifted north along the vein 121 feet; raised 28 feet at that point and connected with old works of the Africa winze. From there drifted north 2l feet oD the vein and south 37 feet on the vein. Sunk winze feet south of tunnel 100 feet deep. Drifted north on first level 125 feet and south 6C feet, with 15 feet cross-cut in bottom of winze.
 On the Europe, sunk one shaft ' feet; one 2l feet and drifted 15 feet sunk IT feet in bottom of old shaft, a total depth of 142 feet. Run tunnel about 600 feet from the side hill south 1 of main cut of the ridge, to a point directly below the Europe shaft tf connect with the same, distance o 400 feet. This is under contract and nearly finished. Are sinking the Europe shaft 33O feet to meet the tun nel. The mouth Of this tunnel Is les: than a mile from the mill.
 In the Great Pacific, we have driftel north 2S feet from bottom of the old shaft and sunk 24 feet.
 Have carefully timbered all work ings where needed and have construct ed tracks the entire length of tht America-Alaska tunnel; the firs level of the America and also in the Africa tunnel and drift, all of whlcl connect with the proper ore bins ano are supplied with iron cars.
 Have built new blacksmith shop carpenter shop, stables, covered all ort bins, also blacksmith and carpenter shops on the mines, and the trestle and track leading to the bins; have erected Fairbanks scales for weighing ore at the tunnels and ore bins; built numerous trails leading from one opening to another in the mountain built new wagon road from the Aus tralia to the Bio Bio to connect with the main road leading to the mill; also a wagon road leading from the cut on the mountain to the ore bins of the Europe; built new road at the west end of the Rialto, passing the new corral and wood yard to the mill have widened and improved the roao to the ore house at the mill and have widened the county road back of black smith shop.
 Enlarged the boarding house kitch en 12 by 16 feet, with two wings 12 by 12 and 10 by 12, and piped water iron the tanks; built an addition to the store building, 10 by 30 feet, and con structed a good cellar under the build ing.
 Built new laboratory and assay office 16 by Is feet, with new assay furnaces and outfit; built new black smith shop 20 by 30 feet; new office IA by 20 feet, and an ore shed at thf mill 32 by AS feet. Also new stabia and corral, 62 by 69 feet, with storage room for all hay, grain and vehicles. Built a 12 by 12 addition to thu superintendent's house near the office and additions, verandahs, etc., tC various residences of the employees. Enlarged the retort in the smelling building and put in a new retort and furnace; built derrick at the well 56 feet high, together with the neces sary pulleys, driving tools, etc.
 Built an addition tc the mill 5S b. 96 feet, in which is placed the old an6 r new roasters and new pans and set r tiers, new dry floor the entire widtl of the batteries of the twenty stamps Have added new White-Howel roasting furnace, 36-inch stack 5 feet high put in two new pans am one new settler; ten additional stamp in running order; built a cover owe the old crusher and partitions separat ing the engine from the boiler room | built new carpenter shop and linn shed and covering for the water tank ; | near the mill.
 Are sinking a well 1000 feet adjoir ing the mill, for water supply, ( which about 600 feet is complete : from the bottom of the 75 foot we'll. ! Are now constructing reservoir o the mill site on Queen Creek an
 drifting under the creek for an add o tional supply of water. A pump an f0r Fo,,r 1,;Iao froD, oraa
