level-Have continued stopping OUT ore and put-
Ting In square IimbeTs at the point where the
discovery was made In The south drift from the
shaft station on this level. On the w-St side OF
the slope Wine has been sunk eight feet be-
low The SUI moor. passing through ore of very
good quality. 1900 !eVel-HaVe extracted some
milling ore below the sill floor of the erOsscut
run east from south drift. 1900 leVeI-From
end OF crosscut run west from north drift on this
level have continued 10 eXttact good ore from
sill no1r upward to ninth floor On the
ninth floor ore continues 10 be of good
quality and the width OF this ore body
holds good in sOulhwesterly direction.
1900 le7el-Haye continued 70 extract some
ore along aud above the line Of drift, run east
through old slopes on sill floor OF this level; also
from Slopes Which are being worked both north
and south from that driit have continued to
Stope OUT ore OF good quality AT the point which
Is 200 feet south from north line of mine and
A feet above sill floor OF This level. 1860
leVel-The usual quantity of ore has been ex-
tTacIed from The various openings Of this level.
From the drift run east from The Wine No. g.
al point 20 feet below sill floor OF this level,
have stopped Out ore OF fair quality. and from
DRIFT run west from top Of upraise carried up
90 feet above The end OF the south
west drift, have extracted some milling ORE
1850 leVeI-In working ont and upward from
the bottom OF Wine No. 2, sunk from 1850
level, we continue 10 extract ore OF good quality.
mere has been extracted from all PARTS OF The
mine during The week 23l7 tons aud 300 pounds
of ore. OF which S34 tons ana $50 pounds were
shipD TO the Morgan Mil and 1882 tons aud
1850 pounds TO the Eureka Mill. The average
