The report OF Superintendent Coffin,
as presented at the meeting, covers In
detail tho work Of Improvement on the
surface and the development of the mine
during the past year. Each item of IN
tcrcst is clearly set forth, and all opera
lions and results are covered closely.
The surface improvements, according
10 Mr.. Coffin, are considered OF much
Importance TO the rapid and economical
development Of the mine. The main
work, other than the underground op--
erationS, was the cnldrgine OF the old
SHAFT to a shaft Of two compartments
and manway. and the installation OF
new machinery and electrical! equipment
Eight hundred feet of new shaft was
also sunk so that the company now has
a two-compartmcnt shaft, regulation
size. and manway 4 feet inches by
% inches. TO the 2000- foot level The
improvements thus made were OF an
extremely dangerous nature, and atten-

that during this work not a man was
seriously injured. special care having
been taken 10 prevent accidents.

mines recent development was ex
planned in detail In these columns some
monihs ago.
From the 1900, 1900 and 1900 foot
levels crosscuts have been sent out. east
and west for the most part and are
opening UP. some of the older ore bodies
and are also demonstra ting the posi-
blitics Of new territory. Attention is
called To the fact that the lSo0-foot
level formerly very wet. is now quite
dry. Connections have been made with
the old workings from the 1900, 400 and
1900 levels. that splendid ventilation
for the mine is assured
The main shaft. which is now some
thirty feet below the 1000 level. has
tered that same formation as was en-
countered on the 1900 level. The vein is
also reported as showing stronger and

Mr.. Coffin gives II as his opinion that
considering the present condition OF the
mine. the property gives every promise
Of eclipsing by far any OF its past rec
or1s.
