The following official letters of the Super
intendents for the past week were placed
on file here yesterday:
Cox. CALIFORNIA & VIRGINIA MINE-11oo
level: AT tile point in the south drift from the
shalt station in this level where The ore dis
coyery was mad we have continued 10 slope
out ore of good quality below tile sill floor, work
ing from the bottom of The wirze as feet DOWN
south DRIFT. 1900 leyei-Haye extracted some
milling ore below the sill floor of the crosscut
run east from lie south drift. 1900 leVel-FrOm
The END OF the croSseut run west from The
north DRIFT on this level we have continued
TO extract good ore from sill floor upward
10 the ninth floor. The stone above tile nin h
floor Is IN 0w-grade ole. 1000 level - Tie
ground in the vicinity of the DRIFT run east
through the old slopes OH the sill of this level
continues to yield some ore. Have continued TO
slope out good ore at lie point which IS 200
feet south from The north boundary line of the
mine, Al fest above The sill OF this level.
From the main south DRIFT, al a point $50 feet
south from north Hne east crosscut has been
advanced feet Qotai length Ga ieer, continuing
In porphyry carrying quartz of low assay value.
1000 leVel-lh lie various openings of this level
continued to Yield the usual quantity OF ore. Ore
OF fair quality has been extracted from he drift
run west from the top of the urraise carried up
90 ieet above the southwest drift; also fro IN the
drift run east from winZe No. 3, IS feet down, ill
working upward from That point. 1850 level
III working out and upWai from the bottom Oh
wlnze No. 2, sunk from The 1850 level, we con-
tinue 10 extract ore Of Il fair quality. Ninze No.
l started 40 feet nOrtherly from the above men
toned point; Wine No. 2 has been sunk feet;
total depth, 5S feet. From this wnZe, at point
80 feet down, an east drit has been advanced 10
feet Ia quartz formation, with some pOrphyry,
and carrying low assay value.
There has been extracted from all parts of the
niue during The week 1926 tons and $50 pounds
OF ole. OF which S95 Ious and 1890 pounds was
shipped to The Morgan NH and 1430 tons and
ITO pounds to the Eureka Mill. The average as
say value OF all of the ore worked at these Two
Il,
per ton. Bullion shipped To Carson Mimi, assay
value S2O,9l2 81. Bullion now on hand in our
ASSAY Office assay value about 10000
OPHIR-I465 level: We have continued our
Prospecting work from the opening in the yicln-
Ivy OF The point Where upraise from sill floor OF
this level connected with drift run west from
winZe 100 feet below sill floor of 1900 level Ore
has been extracted during the week. 1900 level
Have continued repairs on the incline leading
from shaft station on his level.
MEXfCAN-Ou the 1865 level east crosscut
No. l. at point 81 feet in from the main north
vein matter and clay carrying narrow stringers
OF quarz.
UNION COMA northeast drift started from
the east crOsscut No.-2 on the 1465 level at
point 853 feet in from main north lateral drift
has been extended &c feet In a mixed formation
OF clay, poIphyfy and quartz.
BEST u BELCHER-1O0O level: West crOsScut
No. has been extended IA feeI uotal, 6S feet)
through pOrphyfy aud quartz 100 level-EAst
crosscut from northwest DRIFT advanced 10 feet;
total 20 feet; face IN porphyry aud stringers of
quartz. West crosscut No. has been advanced
IS feet through hard poTphyry aud stTiugers OF
quartz. There is water SIN flowing from lace OF
same.
GOULD & CURRY-on 200 level have done
considerable Iepairlng in upraise No. 2, also
carried II up feet, oial height 80 feet: lace In
hard quartz showing some value. East cross
cut No. l. 60 feet above this level, has been eX-
tended % feet, total length 90 feet, through
porphyTy and quartz giving low ASSAYS. West
crO>scut has been advanced IA feet, total length
81 feet, through soft pOrpbyry. Have done con-
siderable reualring on the 400 level in order TO
keep connections open.
SIERRA NEvADA-On the $50 leyel, west
from shaft, is advanced 6S7 feet, 81 feet having
been made during The week formation senetlc
in character. The kenOsha Tunnel was en-
iarged aud repaired 81 feet during the week,
Total AL feet.
ALPHA-North DRIFT from west crosscut, 100
feet north OF shalt 800 level, Is out 81 feet face
in quartz yeldtag low assays. North DRIFT from
wlnZe, so feet north of shalt 500 level, Is out "a
feet face In quartz and clay. The south drift,
punches OF ore.
CHOLLAR-The east crosscut from the Joint
Chollar and Norcross wiuZe 1900 level is out 20
ieet, The last II feet in quartz yielding low
assays. Extracted and sent TO mill the past
week 527 tons OF ORE worth SIS 80 a ton as per
battery assays.
ANDEs-0n the 42o level repaired portion of
cut was advanced 8 feet, formation quartz aud
por phyIy. East croSscut No, 3 advanced 16
feet III quartz, yielding low assays.
fOToSI-Ihe wiDZe Is down 81 feet below the
1000 leyels The bottom is in poTphyry and
streaks OF quartz yielding low assays.
EXCHEQUER-East crosScut on north line GOO
level Is out POI feet, face in porPhyry.
