VIRGINIA. April 2S.-Following are the
superintendents' reports OF the mines for
the past week:
Cox. CAL. AND VIRGINIA-1650 level
The erosscut running east from the drift
run north from the end Of the crosscut
run east from the drift run north from the
east crosseut ! from the north drift from
the wiGZs, down 81 feet, has been extended
during tue week 10 feet, total length 20
feet, in porphyTy and streaks of quartz of
low assay value. In pros rectiDg the ole
body, which was encountered at a point
I20 feet south from the WINE, where last
week we cut through 6 feet of ore, we
have this week entered tie same body at a
lower depth, and have advanced south
DRIFT there in 5h feet in solid. compact
ore, and have extracted 81 carlo ads-about
so tons-average assay value of which. per
car samples, is S79 20 per ton. The drift is
"A feet below the sill 4 or OF the 1850
level. the workings of last week were
inadvertently reported as being twenty
feet below the sill floor, whereas we have
found from subsequent exact measure
ment that they should have been reported
as being on the line OF that sill floor. 1000
leYeI-RuIs drift-The drift running south
from crosscut east from drift run south
from the upraise fifty feet up, 800 feet
south from the shaft station has been ex-
tended % feet, total length 50 feet, in vein
matter. From the end OF the south drift
from this Upr2ise 30 feet up west cross
cut has been advanced IS feet in por hyry
and quartz Of low value. The west cross
cut No. 500 feet south from the shaft
station has been extended % feet, total
length 90 ieet, in porphyry and quartz
At point 5S5 feet south from the shaft
station are cutting out on the east side Of
ha oil ri
upraise will be carried up.
OPHIR-1465 ieyel-DTlft running south
from the cros,cuJ run west from the main
north drift at a point PIG ieet in from the
mouth of the crosseut mas been extended
II feet; total length 50 feet. continuing in
porphyry showing lines OF quartz. Have
continued Jointly with the Mexican CON-
psny the work of making repairs in the
main shaft at and near the 700 level sta
ton. Central tunnel-Have been engaged
during the week in repairing the old Mexi-
can shaft station with which the DRIFT con-
nected. in catching up and retim hering the
broken ground around the shaft for dis
tsGce of 81 feet upward.
MEXICAN-1465 level-The upTaise near
the mouth of the crosseut run from the
drift run south from the top OF the upraise
which was carried up 45 feet below the
silflOor OF this level at point 40 feet west
from the main north drift and 100 feet
been carried up during the week feet;
total length 81 feet, continuing in very
hard porphyry formation.
UNION NINE = 600 leYel-The Union
Con. and Sierra Nevada joint west cross
cut started near the north line of the Union
Con. mine from the jOintnorth drift. which
was run from the joint west drift q point
1920 feet west OF the shaft, has been ex-
tended during the week 20 feet; total
length So feet; faee in hard p0TpHyTy.
BEST 81 BELCHER-6o0 level = West
crosscut 2, which had been run In north
drift at a point $50 feet from our south
boundary. has been cleaned and repaired
for distance of 200 feet
GOULD & CURRY-200 level-West cross
cut O. started 10 northwest drift 432 feet
from the main west drif, has been ex-
tended % feet, passing through soft por-
phyry; total length 1858 feet.
ANDEs-420 level = Thei upraise from
west cr9sscut from the main north lateral
drift was carried up IS feet; total height %
feet. II continues IN quartz.
HALE & NoRCRoss = 900 level - Ad-
vanced southwest drift u feet. total
length 204 feet, face IN porphyTy. 100
level-The main south drift on this level
was advanced 10 feet, total length 203 feet,
face in p0rDbyry. Have started west
cTosscnt from the end of this drift: We
are rrtmbertng part OF the station on
this level. Commenced yesterday ship
ping ore To the Brunswick mill.
ALTA-The intermediate Wine is down
II feet. the bottom showing % inches Of
high-grsde ore. the assay value running
from SD to $3.50 per ton, so per cent of
which is gold. Directly over this point
and above the 725 level we are raising q
header In the ground that looks very en-
coursglng because of the continued im-
proFemeut as We advance. The north
raise has been advanced II feet during the
week, total length III feet.
