Detail of Stopping.
Mohawk mine The new l50foot level
has been completed and provides All ef-
hcent means OF working the new orc un-
covered in the upper workings. The No.
II crosscut from the No, 8 drift pro-
duced 100 tons, worth 1.31 ounces. The
new stope started from the No IS drift
produced $50 tons. worth 2O5 ounces. The
new sill floor on the 1870 intermediate
produced 1Ol tons. worth la ounces. The
490-A raise produced 309 tons. Of aVeraSe
90 ounce value.
Rcd Top mine The tO1 sill, 600 feet
south OF the SnaIl, mas pSSn COnSlOcI-
ably extended and produced 80 tons of
average 32s ounce ore. This connects
with the 2o9 stope fro mthe second level
Laguna mine; The COS drift was ad
Vanced and connected With the Hazel
shaft The Hazel shaft has been unwa-
tered and repaired 10 a point $50 feet
deep.
Mill: The low tonnage for the month
was caused by the shutdowns for the
purpose OF refining tube mills and repairs
to Chileans, The foundations for the
roasting plant and building have been
practically completed and the construc-
ton work is progressing at a satiSfac-
tory rate. Owing TO the fact that all the
working faces In the Mohawk mine
dropped below average the production
was low for the past month, but the in.
dicalions now point 10 the present month
being somewhat above average.
Important Future Work.
H. the foregoing report The most sig
niGcant announcement is that the com
pany has decided to at once proceed
with the work of sinking the Grizzly
Bear Shaft 10 greater depth. This Is now
the deepest shaft in the Goldheld dis
trict being 200 feet deep. well timbered
and Of good dimensions for the handling
OF large tonnage OF ore, No limit has
been set as 10 the depth 10 which this
shaft will be sunk, but this Will depend
largely upon the character OF ground
opened and OH the results OF develop
mcnt on the deeper levels. There is
and indications point plainly to the con
| tinuatIon OF this orc at even SreB ter
depth.
II Is stated that the report for OCto-
! Der viii show a marked advance over
| that OF last month, both In point OF ton
| mage and net earnings. as the necessary
| repairs to mill machinery have been com
| pleted and the average OF ore has been
uniformly better than that handled IN
/ September. The reports Of the supcrin-
! tendeDt. issued monthly, deal only with
ore extracted from new workings. and
| tel nothing OF tho large tonnage OF rich
ore already blocked out, nor do they at
! tempt 10 include estimates of ore re-
serves, In these mines II is exceedingly
/ difficult. II not impossible. 10 estimate e

accuracy, owing tn the crratic character
OF The ore bodies in point Of volume as
well as value.
