NOTES
The Evening star mine OF Grass Valley is as
sessed 114c, delinquent November 80.
The Alpha Consolidated assessment OF 10 cents
per share will Re delinquent in the boards to-day.
The annual report of the superintendent says:
Since last report have cleaned out and retimbered
the shaft from the All to the $50 level AT the
45O level they out a hosting station and ran
wesi drift 81 feet, which is termed the main west
drift, passing through quartz and porphyry, quartz
assaylng from rs cents TO 81 per Near the
face OF this west drift they started drift north
ana advanced the total distance OF 1872 feet,
passing through porpnyry with 2 mixture OF quartz
at times showing small assays of from 81 81 per
ton The north DRIFT stopped at this point, The
quartz through it.
AT point l45 feet north from the main west
drlft from the shaft they started east crosscut
and advanced the same 100 feet passing through
perphyTy and quartz for the first rs feet, the last
20 rect being all quartz of low grade, assaying from
81 gu to $2 90 per ton; face OF this is in
clay, eN identity the east clay wall of the ledge. AT
point 90 ieet east from the nor5h DRIFT, started
Drift south from the east crosscut and extended the
same "A feet through quartz of low grade, assaying
old work The south DRIFT started 81 feet west
from the shaft has been a total distance of 1l2
feet, and near the Imperial north boundary line
THIS drift passed through porphyry and quartz the
entire distance, quartz showing small assays of
from 81 so to So per ton.
"At point 102 feet south from the main west
drift from the shaft they started an east crosscut
ana continued the same total distance of lS feet.
Inc first thirty feet of this crosscut hard por
phyry. The rest of the ground a mixture of
quartz, clay and porphyry The face of this cross
cut is IN clay wall Near the wall they encountered
an old stope. AT point in the south drift 60 feet
south OF the shaft west croSscut cut which is
now in 100 feet. In this crosscut point "a feet
west or the south drift it passed through from
feet OF white quartz that yielded assays from Sc
TO $40 per ton in gold. From this point lS feet
west the crosscut passed through Is feet OF mixed
quartz and porpbyry which assayed from So to So
per ton in gold.
Twelve feet further west of this point the root
OF the crosscut showed from to feet ore which
assayed from Sl5 to $40 per ton, of which two
thirds was silver and one-third gold, When the
crosscut reaches the west wall they will drift north
and south on the ore, with reasonable hopes of
finding something of practical value. A favorable
feature of this prospect is that it is farther west
than any work heretofore done in this or adjacent
mines"
Colonel AlvinZa Hayward left on his regular
semi-monthly trip to the Utica mine, to be present
at the cleanup
In the Overman mine for the week ending Octo-
Der 26 they extracted from the north drift on the
SOO-foot level eight tons of ore. The car samples
averaged S64 AZ.
