 --Junchon'S New Engine In Place And Ready For Steam

At the Junction the new engine is ready to turn over and steam was turned on for the first time yesterday. Construction of the new steel frame at the Junction will be begun next week. On the 300 and the ], ,OO0-foot lev els development work is very encour- aging, and as soon as the new head frame is ready for business, sinking will be resumed. A large block of ore has already been exposed in the Junction drifts. On the 300 drift two ore bodies have been cut. The first was In close proximity to the shaft as the drift was being run north. This was passed through and at a distance Of 1l feet from the shaft, going in the same direction, the second body was encountered laying almost horizontal with a dip to the north. The drift cut through tEis ore body for a dis tance of between thirty and forty feet. on the 1000 drift is now being run in the same direction to intercept this ore body on the 1000. and it is the expectation to catch it within zoo feet. On the 300 a second drift is also being driven to the east in leached material with very favorable indica- tons. On the 1000 two additional drifts are also being run, one in a westerly direction to connect with the iloatson, and still another to the southwest to the Briggs.
 At the Briggs another drift is be- ing driven from the winze which is now bottomed at 175 feet below the I910 foot level, 600 feet from the shaft in southeasterly direction. An ore body was encountered in a drift from this vinze several weeks ago at 100 feet below the BIO level of the shaft, and this second drift, at a greater depth, is being run southeast to get under the big iron outcrop- which shows on the surface. In this drift the ore stringers are plentiful, and the formation highly encouraging. At the bottom level of the Briggs shaft "a drift has been started north from which two crosscuts have been run, one in the direction of the Hoatson and another toward the Junction This territory is to be thoroughly de- yeloped by the means of these drifts and croSscuts, which are now in a distance of 75 or so feet.
 At the Irish Mag shipment of ore continues to the smelters as usual, and the production for March will be in excess of the February production Shipments from l.. s. & P. and P. & D. have been gradually increased dur I ing this month. At the Irish Mag heretofore most of the development
 work has been confined to the north | side of the claim. During this month | the south side development work has been commenced with very satisfac- tory results. Drifts are being run 1 from the three lower levels in this [ direction.
 At the Oliver the principal devel. opment work has been confined to a drift going south on the. Buckeye
 claim from the 1150 level This drift
 has encountered a large body of very
 fine ore, the extent of which is as yet undetermined. This body of ore as
 says as high as ten per cent, and
 means big things ahead for the Oli yer. On the surface preparations
 are being made for the new hoistine
 engine which will be a duplicate oi the one now at the Junction.
 At the L. g. P. drifting continues in the ore body on the HOO with the
 showing exceptionally good of higt grade oxides. A station has beer cut at the 1250 level and drifting istarted both north and south.
 At the P. & D. the important bit o development work of the week va. accomplished. A drift from tht raise, about eighty feet above ths ! 1850 level, cut nice body of ore car frying values from eight to twelve pe cent. This ore body has been GU
 for a distance of forty feet and tn,
 face of the drift Is still in the sam' high class ore.
 In general the Bonanza Circle un
 derground situation was never bet ter. The development work of tn : past ten days has been most satis ' factory to the management, an, brings good Jews to the stockhold : CTS
