VIRGINIA. New. May 22.-The following
are the weekly reports of superintendents
filed last evening:
Con. CAL. & VA. MINE-11OO level-FrOm the

was carried up from The nurth Of west cIOsScut
from the mall south DRIFT $40 fect
south from the SHAFT station, the west
cTOsscUt has been extended 80 feet; total length
126 feet, continuing in vein pOrphyry with hne
lines OF quartz OF low assay value. 1900 level
From tie south drift al The point Of connection
with the old Slopes we continue 10 extract some
ore aud filings OF average milling value. From
the uptGlse which was carried up from the end
OF The CrOSscut, run west 80 feet III from the
main south drift 100 feet south from
the shaft station, Ne have continued &c
work al Ward and 10 eXtlact ore OF fair quality.
1000 leyel-We have continued prospecting uD-
ward from the old sill floor OF lie old Slopes
from which some ore OF far quality Is being eX-
tIacte0, and on The east side of the slope tlnbers
we Lave found some ore Of very good quality,
six feet 10 width. 1850 leVei-Have continued
prospecting west from tie upraise 30 feet above
The sill floor, which was carried up 50 feet above
the southwest diift. Ore OF fair quality has been
extracted from the drift run east from Wine 3,
down 70 feet tn working upward from that
point. From the north eud Of the California
ground on tile west side We are working ~ the
old Slopes and extracting lherelrOm some ore
of fair quality. IN this locality wlnZe
has been sunk 28 feet in he old Slope timbers
on the east side Of tie northwest drift, some por-
lion OF Tie filings being extracted and saved for
milling. 1850 eYel-lu east crOsScutS l and
from the main sOuth drift have continued TO eX-
tract some milling ore. 1900 ieYel-AiOng the
south end OF The dTift running south tom the
CTOsScut run east from WiuZe l sunk from tie
1850 level we have continued 10 eXlEact some
ore from The sill floor upward Of milling value
From the drift run north from this same east
erOsScut al P polut 90 feet north from that cross
cut WiuZe has been sunk 10 feet Ia quartz
formation OF low assay value.
There has been extracted from all parts of the
mine during the week 1904 l6UO-ZOOO tons OF
ore, which was shipped TO tile Morgan mill, the
average value oil winch, per car samples, was
S29 81 per ton. The average assay value of all
the ore worked al that mill during tie week, 80
tons, was $50 per ton per battery samples.
Bullion was shipped 10 Tie Carson mint OF an
assay value Of SASS 30. Bullion IS on
hand ~ our assay Office Of an assay value OF
about Sl4 80
OPHiR-I4G5 level-In working easterly from
the mouth OF Tie north drift from the drlft run
west from the Wine 122 feet below lie Sill floor
OF the 1900 level We have extracted ana raised

the average assay value Of which Is S2l 20 per
ton. lie dit running south, l0l feet below
The sill floor Of the 400 level from the Mexican

lie week Is feet. Total length OF % feet. con-
ilnuing IN quartz with some pOrphyry, which
carries an assay value OF SO per ton. No ore
has been saved from this drift during the week
MExICAN-On the l465 level, from the cross
cut run east from The bottom OF The wluze sunk
1O1 feet below the sill floor OF this level near the
south boundary OF the mine, at a point 40 feet
east from the Wine, mouth drift was started
and had advanced II feet in a pOTphyTy for.

Nevada and Union west driit on the 900 level
was extended during the week 81 feet, making
its total distance west OF the shaft 1884 feet;
face In pOrphyry.
AEDEs-During the week west crosscut 3
from Tie north a. III on the east side OF The ledge
