we think connection will be made by the middle of this month, if net before There is a piece of ground of about lso feet to pass through before hole ing the drifts. This done, it will be a great help to the inning.
 Our readers will recall that there is a No. winze in this south drift from the Cole shaft. Our correspon- dent writes us that they have resum- ed the sinking of this. s.were down about Go feet, with good ore showing in the bottom, and that there was no water now being met This would indicate the ore deposit was being drained by the pump on the 110o-foot level, where little water has been steadily com ing in for some months. In crosscut near this point. fine oxide ore, leached ore and other good things are being met This is very encouraging, and shows the Cole shaft to be coming on finely. It will be recalled that the sinking of this winze was stopped some time ago because the water bothered too much. It was not an easy place to put pump so it was concluded to let it rest for a time as there were many other places that could be at lacked profitably The water is now all out of the winze and its sinking is proceeding rapidly In the bottom coming in during the post two weeks and headway has been slow It IS evident that a considerable body Of water was cut by the drift The pump has been running fast, and is now gaining on it, so that the near future will find the ground sufficiently dry so that the drift can be pushed ahead. Lake Superior & Pittsburg is growing bigger steadily. and will make a great mine.
 Calumet & Pittsburg.
 The work of putting in the sets in the new station of the shaft progres- ses, and will soon be completed. In the meantime the pumps are being in stalled, and the parts for the larger engine are now about in place. It has been very heavy task. as can be seen from the size of the material to be handled. IL takes time and lots of hard work. There has been rapid headway made all things considered, and 8 few weeks will have seen the completion of the equipment when the shaft will be pushed downward and the drifts again resumed There will be something to report after the new plant is ready for business.
 Junction Development.
 The Junction shaft has reached a depth of TAO feet. It is still in DOT y-limestone, and is gaining in seams in the rock show the right kind of stain. as upon the occasion of our good looks constantly. All the faces where there has been fractures or recent visit, but it is said the oxidation is now much more marked than then. 4 new drill hole has been started, the sixth. The diamond drill is being used to determine the character of the formation, and is showing up the rocks the company wish to see. A churn drill is also operated. The lead company is pushing work at all these points with an idea of locating a second shaft at some future time. All are feeling very cheerful over the showing on this property.
 Calumet 6 Arizona.
 Everything here reported to be go- ing finely. Oliver shaft now down about 300 feet, showing the healthiest character of ground. The company is hoping the ore body will pitch out of it so as to make the shaft more stable. However. they can manage to get along if it does not, but the ores here are soft and much of it has to be tied up in the support of the shaft when the latter runs throuh it. A pump ing plant will be installed at this shaft as the opening will probably be deer OrP
