Con. CAL. & VA-1500 level-FrOm the
openings which have been made from the
sill floor of this level at a point 256 feet
from the main shaft up to the southwest
drift, 70 feet above the sill floor of this
level. we have extracted AZ tons of ore,
assaying $50 pei ton. 1900 level-CrOss-
cut 2. running east from the drift run
south from the east crosScut from the main
south drift, mas been advanced IA feet, total
length % feet; face in quartz formation OF
low assay value. 1650 leyel-HaVe con-
tioued making necessary repairs to the
drifts on the sill floor Of this level. From
the main northwest drift at a point 70 feet
south from its junction with the main
west DRIFT from the Z. q Z. shaft an up
raise was started and has been carried 10
feet; face Is porphyry, clay anu quartz.
From the Drift run east at a point 20 feet
down from the WINS sunk from the cresS-
cut run west from the main northwest
drift. and from the end of the drift run
north from that winZe at point 81 feet
down, we have extracted during the week
304 carloads of ore-abOuL $50 tons. Have
shipped 10 the Morgan mill during the
week 513 1110-2000 tons OF ore, the average
assay value OF which, per car sample, was
$50 80 per ton. Th average assay value,
per battery sample. of all the ore worked
al the mill during the week (429 tOns) was
S2S &c per ton. Bullion shipped 10 Carson
mint, ASSAY value, S13,3 ,354 fl.
OPHIR-1565 level-fhe east erosscut
started frum the main drift on the sill
floor Of this level al point los south from
the winZe station has been advanced Is
feet total length 136 feet; face in very
hard porphyry. Prospecting operations
at this point have been stopped and we are
now removing the air pipe, rail track and
other materials therefrOm. Have contin-
ued, jointly with The Mexican company,
the work of making repairs TO the main
shaft.

started south from the crOsscut run east
from the drift run north from the croSScut
run east from The bottom of the wInZ
sunk from the 1866 level near the south
boundary line OF the mine has been ex-
tended during the week % feet, total
length 76 feet. continuing in a soft poT-
pbyry and clay formation which carries
little quartz.
SIERRA NEVADA-The south lateral
drift from the intermediate tunnel has
been advanced 90 feet. total length so feet;
face is In porphyry and streaks of quartz.
ANDES-On the 420 level east erosscut
3 from north lateral drift 100 feet south of
east crosscut advanced 20 feet. total 40
feet, passing through quartz and clay.

tended is feet, passing through hard por-
Dhyry and strlngers of quartz; total length
10S feet. 900 level-West crosscut 3 in
southwest drift 100 feet from west crosscut
has been advanced 8 feet, total length lii
feet. passing through hard porphyry.
SAVAGE-On the HOO level we continue
to extract ore of fair grade at several
points above the sill floor of this level up
to the nineteenth floor. We are doing
considerable prospecting work between
this and $50 level. During the week we
have hoisted 24S cars of ore from this
level. Shipped to the Nevada mill 210
tons of ore and milied 210 TONS Car sam-
pics average S23 as. battery samples aver
age 81 09: bullion yield for the week.
S2913 54. We have finished retimbering
tn north compartment of our hosting
shaft from the 1900 to the 700 level.
HALE * NoRCRosS-On 900 level west
crOsscut L from south drift was ad-
vaneed 10 feet, total length 100 feet; face
In clay and porphyry. 1900 leyel-During
the week have finished putting the square
sets of timbers in the new wInze and
drifted east from bottom of Wine feet
The bottom of Wine shows depth of
about IL feet OF ore and the face of the
east drift shows a mixture OF ore and por-
phyry. Have extracted from the winZe
the paSb week seventeen cars OF ore, aver
age assay value per car samples $50 90 per
ton.
CHoLLAR-Have started a drift on the
100 level at a point l45 feet north of the
south line. whl ch is now out % feet; are
yet engaged in making repairs to the main
incline below the 960 level.
PoToSI-Have started an upraise from
the south drift on the sixteenth floor above
the $50 level and advanced 16 feet; top in
porphyry and lunches of quartz that give
fair ASSAYS. The north drift 2S feet below
the 1000 level is out 33 feet; face in por-
phyry and low-grade quartz; extracted
and sent to the mill the past week 206 tons
and 1000 pounds of ore from the 1850 and
HOO levels; nilled during the week 151
tons; on hand at mill I47 tons and 1900
pounds; average battery assays $40 73;
average car sample assays S25 80.
UNIoN-900 level-The Union Con. and
Sierra Nevada joint north drift running
from the joint west drift as a point 1920
feet west from The shaft has been extended
during the week % feet, total length l56
feei; lace In porDhyry, clay and quartz
giving low assays.
BULLIoN-The west drift from the sta
tion $50 level Ward shaft is out 16S feet
