porphyry, carrying clay separations and lines of
uuaitA, az slopinR out hllliihs ore between east
crosscutS 4 and from the south drift. 1900
leyel-From west croSscut 155 feet north from
the shaft station at point ITO feet In from the
main north lateral DRIFT a north drift has been
started and advanced So feet-a total length OF
70 feet-ln formation of clay and quartz,
carrying low assay value. 1900 level
The various openings on this level con-
iinue TO yield some ore. 1850 level-Haye con-
tinued TO extract ore of fair quality from The
carried up 80 feet above the southwest drift.
Ore OF fair quality has been extracted from the
drift run east from Wine 3. down 70 feet. in
working upward from that point. 1850 level
In working out and upward from the
bottom oil winZe sunk from the 1900 level we
continue 10 extract ore of fair quality. Have
also extracted some milling ore at the point
where the upFaise carried up from the crosscut
run west from The southwest drift made con
DectlQn with the slopes GU the eighth floor. Have
continued TO extract ore Of average quality AZ
the point where the upralse from the southwest
drift 20 feet north from The south line of the
california ground connected with the eighth
floor slopes The east crosscut, started from
the southwest driit at point 100 feet north
from the south line OF the California ground, has
been advanced feet, total length OF "A feet,
the face being III porphyry. AT a point 81 feet
south from east crosscut l east cross
quartz formation, showing some low
grade ore and touched the old stope tlmbers.
The third compartment to the upraise which was
carried up from the SutrO tunnel connection and
connected with the 1850 level has been COM
pleted and Ia now being used as chute for the
waste rock, which Will be taken out through that
tunnel. AT point In the northwest drift on the
floor OF this level station is being cut Quit
order to sink therefrom WINE, which Will con-
meet with The end OF the drift run north from the
bottom OF winZe along the iffoOr OF the 1900
level. Are making some repairs by grading and
tlmDerlng 10 The drtft run north from the bottom
OF winZe l sunk from the 1850 level. There
has been extracted from all parts OF the nine
during the week 4491 tons and 1900 pounds of
ore, OF which 62 tons and 100 pounds was
shipped to the Morgan MILL and 1929 tons and
1o4o pounds TO the Eureka mill. The average
assay value OF all OF the ore worked al these two
mills during the week was S23 10 per ton. The
Morgan mill was stopped a few days on account
OF an accident to lis engine, and the Eureka mill
Is now running In place OF IL.

1850 level-The shaft men have been employed
making necessary repairs In and about the shaft.
NEXICAS-On the 400 level the Wine started
at the end OF the crosScut run west from the
