ings) on the 600 level have continued TO cut out
place in the drift 154 feet from the station
preparatory to starting an upraise Have also
been working the sill floor. he ore streak
The ore streak in upraise 3 is very small Ex,
tracted carloads of ore assaying $69 80 IN gold
and 1890 ounces of silver per ton Sent to United
States mint at Carson July 30 crude bullion, assay
value unknown. This is the first bullion shipment
from 245 tons and 1900 pounds of ore reduced in
June and July.
In the Ophir mine on the 1000 level west cross
cut $50 feet south of the shaft station is in 4S7
feet. The face is in porphyry carrying seams Of
clay an lines Of quartz the latter assayng 81 per
ton. Quartz assaying 81 to So per ton is being
found in the old Central tunnel workings On the
1000 level of the Mexican mine west crosscut
from the north drift $50 feet north of the Ophir
line is in $50 feet. The face is in hard porphyry,
clay seams and vein matter OF low assay value.
Reports from the Union Utah, sierra Nevada
and Best Belcher show the usual exploratory
work.

material encountered consisted chiefly OF por-
phyry. and the end Of the drift the hanging wall
has been encountered.
Work has been resumed in the face Of the south

been extended % feet, and is out 1O4 feet
south of the Chollar- y NorcrosS line. When out 81
feet streak of quartz 10 inches wide came In
gradually from the east, and when in SO feet this
streak had widened to feet of good ore. Have
followed this formation to the present face, where
the quartz shows width of feet but owing to q
bunch of waste coming in from the west side is
narrowed in the bottom TO little over feet. The
