new ground having been broken. Ac-
tive prospecting work is going on on
all levels, besides the regular produe-
ton of ore to keep their mill running.
Preparations are now under way to in
stall a diamond drill, which will be
sent down from the 765-foot level to
determine the best location to start the
Wine which it is the intention of the
management to send down below the in
~trusion and carry On prospecting on a
large scale at depth. Everything is
running smoothly in the mill, all the 40
stamps dropping continuously, crushing
1,011 tons of ore during the past week,
721 tons of which was from its own
mine, and the balance, 290 tons, coming

energy to the opening up of new veins

drifts and crosscuts are being sent out
ON every level from the 200 to the 600
foot. During the past week a total of
34Sh feet of new ground was broken,
2lO feet of which was in the Mizpah
and Red Plume claims and the balance
in the Silver Top. The three compart-
ment Mizpah shaft is going down stead
ily, the bottom having reached a depth
of 1853 feet and showing dacite. The
advance for the week was 9h feet,
which was considerably short of their
regular progress, owing to much time
being spent in cutting out a station at
the 1,20O-foot point to install the air
hoist, which had been operating from
tbe eOO-foot level. When this work IS
completed an the hoist removed 1T is
expected that the shaft will go down
towards the 1,5OO-foot point faster than
ever. The Calyx drill, which is being
sent down from the 500-foot level or
