OPHIR-lOOO level-The Joint work (Mexican
and Ophir) of cutting out and timbering the Ophir
shaft station on this level has been Completed,
and after little preparatory work the Ophr drift
therefrom to the south will be started about the
first of next week.
Central tunnel-25O level-The west crosscus

in $3.50 feet has been extended "a feet: total
length 3lS feet: face in quartz formation assay
From this crosscut, at q point 259 feet in from
its mouth a south DRIFT has been stared, passing
into old ground and timbers, and we have saved
therefrom four tons of ore assaying $40 per ton
Tunnel level-The drift running north and then
northeast from a point 220 feet in from the mouth
of the crosscut running west from the end of the
drift north from the end of the west crosscut
from the north drift from the Mexican shaft has
been advanced "a feet total length 169 feet. in

ANDEs-42O level-East crosscut from north
drift from west crosscut from the upraise was adj
vanced feet, total length AZ feet. From this cross
cut we have started south drift and advanced the
same feet; the face is in quartz giving low
assays
In the Chollar mine in the north drift the fifth
floor OF the stope above crosscut 2 $50 level. they
are preparing to stope north on some pay ore.
Saved and shipped to the Nevada mill during the
week "a tons OF ore average battery assay $32 10

In the Potos mine they continue to stope out
from the $50 level, and extracted during the past
week 204 tons of ore, which were sent TO the Ne
vada mills. The average battery Assay was $25 ~
per ton At the shaft on the Groupings on the 80
level, so feet SOUTH they have started crosscut
east, which is in Is feet The face is in quartz and
clay.
In the Alpha Consolidated mine during the past
week the southwest drift from the west crosscut,
point SO feet from the south lateral drift on the
$50 level, was advanced feet; total length 10
feet The face is in quartz giving assays of from
SIS to 500 per ton in gold.
BRUNSWICK LoDE-On the 18th inst. work was
resumed in shaft No. l. and it has since been sunk
for distance of feet on the incline. passing
through quartz giving low assays; total length 152
feet
will be ready so that operations can be resumed
about the first part OF next week.
Crosscut 1 in Savage Company's tunnel, which
was started at point AGO feet from the mouth,
has been extended rs feet passing through quartz
and porphyry giving low assays; total length SO
feet
The ST. John tunnel has been cleaned and re-
paired for distance of 144 feet. We have now
about feet OF new ground to run through in order
that the new connection may be made with shaft /.
In the Occidental Con. mine on the 65O level
in the northwest crosscut, at point 270 feet from
the main west drift, they have struck the west
ledge and it shows about feet of fair ore. Have
started drift in the ore north.
In the Alta mine the 825 level, occasional
punches Of good being cut in the face OF the
south drift.
Reports from the other mines convey no fresh
news OF importance.
