The Crown Point letter for the week ending De-

500 and 500 levels during the past week. The
slopes above the 600 and between the 500 and

extracted from them since last report 500 tons

when that part OF the ground was bulkheaded can
now be reached. This ore included some of the
highest grade found in the development made
IN 1886. The work now In progress In the
west end OF 0phir ground, through the CEN
tra tunnel. Is attracting more local attention
than is that in any other part of the Comstoek
lode, and important ore development there is
considered highly probable by persons familiar
with the surface Workings in that region. batch
of $90-ore was developed several weeks ago, and
the vein from which ii extracted still shows
ore above the milling average-s2J o. being the
assay value of that extracted last week. The dis
covery of another deposit as extensive as that
known as the Rowe find is likely to occur at any
time, and such a development would result In
other companies along the lode extending tn cir
exploratory work west OF the present base or ope-
rations. The extraction of ore from the Crown
Point continues and is showing slight improve
ment in grade. Work will be resumed in the
Beicher and Seq. Belcher next week. Superin-
tendent kiDkead expects 20 resume exploratory
work in the Kentuck carly in January
