ably be dora.
Very encouraging reports come from
tn SAGE Hen, on which considerable
work has been done lately. and the
search for the vein has been SUCCESS
rul. 1t is as yet too early TO judge
OF the extent CO the ore body, or nle
values 1t contains. but as the property
joins the Sacramento. it is probably
q continuation Of the vein being
worked in that property. The Sage
Zen has been bonded twice, but N
both cases the deal WAS declared OH
as the parties were not successful in
finding ore. 1t noW seems that the
workings we're too AlSh up, and that
the vein was much deeper than at first
supposed. The owners are highly elated
over the outlook. and viii continue de-
velopments unth they have proved up
the vein on the property.
Work on the Eagle IS progressing.
Al a point in one Of the shafts q strata
of arssniCal ore vas cut some time
ago. and a drift is being run on th.a
vein with encouraging results. Mr..
Clark is experimenting the work.
At the Gold Point the shaft is non
$40 feet deep and the formation is in
q very hard lue or dolomite, There
are indications that within the next
100 feet the ore will be reached. iudg
ing from the Overland and Sunshine.

consist of an engine house, shaft house
boiler ROOM a large new blacksmith
shop ard an addition 10 the boarding

i.
work is being done on the Brooklyn.
Two more claims have been added 70

Jack and the Lucky Wallace.
The work on the Great Eastern is
progressing favorably, and il is eX-
pecied that few more feet VIII bring
the incline TO the ore body. Here also
an increase has been made to the
ground owned by the company by the
purchase OF a claim held by 4. Muir
ply.
The galIows frame at the Brickyard
has been raised a little. and made Still
stronger than before and the work in
the tunnel TO the Golden Gate is being
worked as fast as three shifts, at four

uarts of the mine a similar activity is
noticeable, and everything, on the prop
erty is progressing favorably.
Almost all the machinery at the La
Clgaie IS IN DG-ltlOn, anu me ARRIVAL
of few lacking pieces and the COM
pletion of the pipe line is all the him
drance now. 1t is not probable that
everything viii be in readiness short Of
a month. In the meantime the Work Of
Developing the mine is progressing sat
dEFactorfly The three shafts are being
sunk and drifts connecting them have
their full quota OF men at work.
The Northern Light tanks are nearly
all in place. and the mill is running
on an increased output The Wood
run tunnel is being pushed rapidly
ahead, and the vein in the lowest part
of the same viii be tapped at an early
dave. n7t1oa The company Win get ac-
ton on some large bodies of ore hith-
erto untouched and which runs very
high in gold.
The grading for the Chloride Point
mill is nearly completed. and the WORK
OF building the mill win commence as
soon as tha material arrives, which
VIII be in a few days. II is expected
that the electric power VIII be on hand
not later than Jan. 1. but the mill Will
be ready for il even if it can be de-
