VIRGINIA Nev.) July 1.-THE following
official reports were placed on file here to-
day:
CONSOLIDATED CALIFORNIA AND VIRGINIA
MINE--110o level-At the point In the south
drift from the shaft station on his level where
the ore discovery was made we have continued
to stOpe out ore OF good quality below the sill
floor, working from the bottom OF the WINE,
eighteen feet down, upward.
13ooevel-Haye extracted some milling ore
below the sill floor Of the crosscut run east from
the south drift.
1900 level-From the end OF the crosscut run
west from The north drift on this level we have
continued 10 extract good ore from the sill floor
upward 10 the ninth floor. The slope above the
ninth foor shows no improvement In the width
Of the ore.
1900 level-Have continued to extract some
ore along and above the line of the drift run east
through the old slopes on the sill floor OF this
level; also from the slopes which are being
worked both north and south from that drift;
have continued TO stope out good ore at a point
which is 200 feet south from The north boundary
line OF the mine and A feet above the sill floor
OF this level. From the main south drift, at ii
point $50 feet south from the north line, the east
crosscut has been advanced 20 feet, total
length of SO feet, continuing In porphyry carry
ing quartz of low assay value.
1850 level-The various openings OF this level
have continue TO yield the usual quantity OF
ore. Ore of fair quality has been extracted from
the dFitt run west from the top of the upraiSe,
carried up Oh Ieel ABOVE inc tOutDWeSt ufllt;
also from The drift run east from winZe 3, 10
feet down, In working upward fIOm that point.
1850 levei-In working out and upward from
the bottom OF wlnZe No. 2, sunk from the 1860
level, we continue 10 extract ore of fair quality.
WinZe No. Is started 40 feet MOI theasterly
from the above mentioned point; Wine No.

There has been extracted from all parts Of the
mine curing the week 2029 tons and 200 pounds
OF ore. of which 75l tons and 100 hounds was

Bullion was shipped 10 the Carson lint OF an
assay value OF SCI, $40 AZ.
