Levels Reached Up to
Date.

connected with the leading companies Of

| Troughs Coalition Mines company. The
Coalition is one of the big gold mines
OF the west and the company Is fast
rounding out arrangements TO tho end
that the milling efficiency Will measure
up TO the mine merits In every possible
way.
In the first place. stated Mr.. Evans.
General Manager L. A. Friedman has
surrounded himself with splendid mine
and mill superintcndcnts and forces gen
crallv. These men rank high in their
respective lines and are determined 10
preserve q harmony certain 10 bring re-
suits along the lines Of the least resist

property.
Bullion Returns.
81 looked over the bullion returns for
tho period between Julv IL and Septem-
ber 3: and they showed net returns Of
over $4,000 said Mr., Evans. He then
continued.
From the nnh lowell of the Coalition
we are driving a foot wall crosscut to
the east TO pick IN the Kindergarten
vein, which from the surface TO the
third level carried big BODY OF very rich
ore. The vein averaged three feet In
Welding more than $4,000 in high grade.
which was treated separately Owing to
a fault or change i'm the pitch of the
vein II was not picked up In the deyeiop-
crosscut will cut this vein on its dip
and we have every reason 10 anticipate
a big production from this source.
Also on the fifth level we are stonine
from what is called stope No. 9 Here
the vein has n width OF three feet. and
The last sample taken tSeptember 81
showed the ore running S162.S0 In gold
From the sixth level we have three
slopes. In stope No. ] the vein Is one
foot In width and assays from $50 TO $76
In n,,s stone No the vein Is s,c ciEhteen inches
No. 3. one Of the biggest producers the
mine has ever had, has vein width
OF between three and four feet and the
values have maintained an almost uni
form average of SIS per ton.
''On this level (the SIXTH We arc driv-
ing hanging wall Crosscut 10 the south
sinking the Tyler shaft li0 feet from the
surface. The Tyler shaft was put down
by leasers whose objective point was
the Wthuja' vein. and IL was consid
cred by them more advisable to get the
shaft down rather than 10 prospect this
intermediate vein. AS a consequence no
work has been done on Il. Our crosscut
has now been driven 135 feet and within
the next fifty feet we Will have cut the
vein for which we arc headed

says from $4,000 to $4,000
The drifts east and west from the
