OPHIR- SOC level-Jointly with the Mexi-
can company, we are continuing doing the
necessary work In the west drift from the
main shaft. 1865 leyel-Ths Winze now
going down below the sill floor of this level
has been sunk during the week II feet, total
depth 10 feet. In this sinking we have eX-
traeted during the week and raised to the
surface 81 tons of ore, the average assay
value Of which is $50 S5 per ton. The bot
tom OF this winZe gives an assay value of
about So per ton.

HALE & NoRCRoss-We have completed
the repairs in the south compartment and
put IN new guides from the 100 to the 1900

to the 1900 level in this compartment We
are now putting IN new guides in the north
hoisting compartment. Main inclne-We
continue making the necessary repairs.
14O0 ieyel-We have about finished the
repairs on this level. 1850 level-We
have advanced the west crosscut on our
south boundary % feet; total length, 81

s, north OF the incline, was advanced feet;
total length, so feet We have stopped work
IN this DRIFT. During the week we have
done some work in the upraise started in
west crosscut from the main north drift,
but have suspended work for the present In

line the Savage Company lave started
drift into their ground.
CHoLLAR-We are retmbering the west

assay from $50 TO S25 per ton. The east
