the Mines.

VIRGINIA, New, June 30-Following is
the superntendents' weekly reports of the
various mines on the Com stock:
Con. CAL & VA--1650 level-We have
been storing out on the west side OF the
upraise between south drifts 2 and 3
In the ore body recently found, and the
ore in this direction is looking well. The
upraise from the sill-hoor of south drift 4,
on the 100 level. has been continued up
ward 10 feet with the size of two sets Of
timbers and connected at the south end
with south DRIFT 3. In the upper part of
this upralse, near the point Of connection,
the ore is somewhat better than below,
assaying about $40 per ton. From the
workings ABOVE described we have eX-
tracted during the week 325 carloads of
Ore-about 322 tons-the average assay
value of which per mine car samples was
S66 Is per ton. Have shipped during the
week to the Morgan mill 54S tons
9l0 pounds of ore, the average
assay value of which per railroau-car
samples was $40 II. The average assay
value (per battery samples) of all the ore
worked at that mill during the week (470
tons) was $53 98 per ton. Bullion now on
hand in our assay office-assay value about
S37, 600. 1000 level-From the uprase $50
feet south from the shaft station, at a
point 81 feet above the sill floor, al east
crosscut has been advanced 38 feet in por-
phyry and clay formation of low assay
value.
UNION NINE 900 level The Union
Con. and Sierra Nevada joint north drift,
which was run from the joint west drift
at point 1920 feet west OF the shaft, has
been extended during the week % feet,
total length ATS feet: face in hard pot-
phyry. The Joint south Of lateral drift

MEXICAN-1465 level-The west crosscut
started from the iop of the upralSe which
was carried up 45 feet above the sill floor
of this level at a point 40 feet west from
the main north drift and 100 feet north
from the south line OF the mine has been
extended during the week "a feet. total
length 154 feet; face In pOrphyry. clay and

started 119 teet in from the mouth of the
drift running south from the crOsscut run
west from the main north drift has been
extended Is feet, total length % feet; face
in harder p0rphyry, carrying clay separa-
tiOns. Have continued jointly with the
Mexican Company the work of making re-
pairs in the main shaft at the HOO level.

Mexican shalt on the tunnel level at a
! point 26 feet NORTH from shaft has been
extended 81 feet total length 203 feet; face

the end of the west crosscut 30 feet above

yanced west cTosscut from end of south

easing timbers in main southwest drift on
this level. HOO level-East crosscut from
south drift was advanced 9 feet, total
length 80 feet; face in hard DGrphvry.
BEST d BELCHER-200 level-The north
drift started from our north boundary

advanced 80 feet through SOFT iphyry,
total length So feet. 500 level-Northwes 81

tended IA feet, total length 100 feet; face
in quartz giving low ASSAYS. From the
end n1 this drift we ran An east crosscut, No.
