by the legal proceeding. or make ar

reached AZ abou. go feet deSth, and
an incline continued down TO $50 feet,
where drifts were run north and south.
The latter connects with the $40 of the
Dalton, giving a fine air circulation,
and the north drift has been run 60 feet.

FORTUNE AND KEYSTONE.
Returns from the 1OO-ton shipment of
Fortune ore made by Manager Hill last
week show a fraction over 81 per cent
lead. The forwarding of another lot
was begun yesterday. Mr.. Hill informs
us that he is now STOPPING as fine a quail
ity of carbonate ore as can be found in
the country, and the product, when
it reaches market, should be eagerly
sought by dealers Very satisfactory
results have attended recent develop
ments on the Fortune and keystone
property, and the present showing oI
ore exceeds the most sanguine antici-
pations when work was begun under
the present lease. over 1900 feet OF
tunneling IS completed. The lower
Fortune tunnel has been driven 800 feet
and has opened up a large body of cop
ore of good grade. An impor-
tant air connection has just been made
between the second and third tunnels
With decent encouragement on the
markets, the property will make large
output this season.
