This shafthouse 10 almost due east OF thu
stamp mill, To which the rock will be con
veyed by trestle road, The apertures
in the stamp mill roof have already been
made for the two dumps. No. 2 shaft
which is about 700 feet south Of M. !
will be connected with the latter by n
trestle road, 30 that the rock hoisted in
No. 2 shaft will be handled in the rock
house at No. /.
! The water in the mill pond has all been
let off, so that the dam may be properly
examined and repaired, but as the rainy
season will soon commence there will, no
doubt. be plenty OF water for the mill be-
fore that is started up. which will prob
ably be by the 1st OF December, and that
will tell the tale There should be no dif-
flculty in supplying the mill with 800 tons
of rock daily, when an answer may be
looked for TO the question, what will the
outcome be-" The mill will require very
little repair.
UNDERGROUND.
The No. ! shaft is down 400 feet; drifts
have been run north and south at the
bottom, the south drift beng in about
100 feet while the one to the north is in
200 feet, from which good copper rock is
coming. as can readily be seen by exam
lining the rock pile. On the second level
there is good block OF ground $50 feet
long and 100 feet high all ready for stop
ing.
The 4th level, going north from No. 2
shaft, Is In good ground for 400 feet: the
9TH level at No. 2 is in 40 feet OF good
ground. This level, to tire south, is in
$50 feet and for the last few days the
ground has been showing up good, as the
rock piles will show.
And now comes the strike which has
added 80 materially to the rise in the
price OF the stock. AS already stated,
the rich chute on the conglomerate had
dipped TO the north and so left the No. 6
shaft and therefore when, in sinking this
shaft, it is now down some 90 feet below
the 9TH level another chute OF copper
was encountered, the people went wild.
When this chute was first entered, some
80 feet below the 9Th level, it was hard !
looking and all broken up, and only 6 to !
s inches wide, whereas the rock il now a (
good conglomerate, 8 feet wiue and is
getting richer and wider. The |
difference in the appearance OF the rock |
in this chute when first encountered and !
now can readily he seen from the differ
ent pieces in the rock house. This chute |
Of copper was not met with in the drift
north OF No. shaft, but as the distance
rom No. 4 TO where il was encounter, d J
n No. q is very considerable. there is no !
telling how far it may extend to the |
south. But that the new strike is a
very rich one there can be no possible
1oubt the only question il, how much /
there is OF it, and that, OF course, so far
40 one can Judge.
lhe 9th level Is IN 900 ieet north OF No. ]
j. 60 feet OF which alter il reached the (
,hute is III good paying stopping
ground, while the asst 20 leet Is very rich.
II the newly -encountered chute con
inueH rich, in all probability sinking oi ,
he No. Z shalt will be resumed, SO IA 10 (
each from that point the rich chute be !
heath.
The fact that last Tuesday S,266 al d ,
On Wednesday 1857 shares were sold, |
the price falling, shows there is a !
strong party now purchasing the stock. !
IN Tuesday the opening sale was 12H (

opening sale was at 13 and the closing |
