N-N1-r nus "SSh work at the big shaft has seen con siderable advancement made in the various improvements that are being made. Considerable more of the irUE frame work of the extension to the boiler room has been put up and the connections of the new boilers all made as far as can be done until the balance of the frame work of the building has been completed. One of the Lew boilers has been connected up and can now be put into use al my time. A new large sized air compressor was received during the past week and is now being installed md will be used in furnishing power for the Eacnine drills that will be used in the shaft when the sinking has been resumed which will not be long. Tim bermen have been at work in the shaft below the 500 fixing up the rmuers so that@Ihe work could be started be- low that level -za
 The ore shipments to the mill from the big shaft during the week have continued and plenty of ore Is being taken from the old Contention and Grand Central stopes from the upper levels. There is said to be plen-y of ere in sight to keep the mill runniI for a long period without any further development work being done. .
 At the mill there is considerable i'm provement going on and on all sides can be seen the work of making r''om fer additional machinery of all kinds. zf, ,t rSrly grading on the east side of the h III adjoining the boiler room to Iaake room for the installation of another set of boilers. On the new ser of cyanide tanks the carpenters fffes.,f24ls work connecting up the tanks and put ting up the railings around them. While another force is at work placing in foundation for another settling tank adjoining the others on the west side. A force of men are at work on the west side of the zinc room where other necessary machinery will be placed. During the past week two ngore tanks have been put into use so that the capacity of the cyanide Elant is now a little over 130 tons per cay. This amount will be increased during the next few weeks as soon as the other tanks are connected up. A clean up was made of the zinc boxes on Thursday and the bars of silver run out from the refining furnaces this afternoon and the result shows that the tailirgs are carrying a very good value in silver judging from the size of the bars. Superintendent Tindell of the mill and cynide plant is very unnph apad OI-ar ba of the mill from the present plan of working the same and states that there is but very little loss of values suffered at present. The usual amount Of concentrates has been taken out during the week and the excellent val ues or returns continue to be received from the smelters for these shipments. The mill has certainly proved winner since it was started and has more than exceeded what was expected of it hy President E. B. Gage and others of the company.
 At the other mining properties of the company there has been nothing Cf a stirling nature happened, all Of them have contributed the usual amount of ore for shipment 10 the smelters at Fl Paso and the amount for the past week will amount to nearly thirty cars. At the ToughnuC, mechanics are at work making some needed repairs on one of the boilers. The present outlook of the company is indeed most encouraging and when the work has been begun in sinking and new drifts open up below the wa ter level there will be something do- inc io Y,nara ruau- fbap oDn
