over eooo tons. some stopping is be-
my done AT all OF the six openings
which are the same as before the
strike
Oseeola
The old Osceola. l,1o0 feet IN ON the
southern drift from shaft No. &. has
,ut mills OF chutes from the thirty
ninth level 50 that the rock can De

forty-seeond level. which is equipped
with the endless rope system OF haul

such long distances mechanical Is
much cheaper and quicker than man
hauagc and as the rcck from three
levels ,an bee handled rs easily rs thai
of one level there is a great saving in
the installation and operating costs. IL
Is likely that these systems of me-
chauical haudage and chutcs and bins
will bc installed on another level in
a short time.
New Areadian.
New Arcadian has covered the dis
lance of about $50 feet on the $50
foot level on the new lode counting
both drifts, and fully 1870 feet OF this
is ground oC exceptionally good min
eral values. The showing is not quito
so good now i'm the two faces but tho
average in the recent openings is high.
The crosscut on the C0O-foot level Is
in towards the lode abou. fifty feet,
enc third of the total distance. II is
expected to cut he lode about May
10 or -. The new hoist will be i'm
operation next Monday The gage OF
the skiproad to accommodate the new
two-ton skip will be widcned Sunday.
1t is not likely that the crosscut ON
the 300 foot level will be begun until
after the lode has been opened 10y that
on the f0O-foot level.
Victoria.
Victoria has most remarkable dis
closure of copper on the twonty-tourth
lcNcl. \ length of seventy feet has
been made and the values arc said by
sane people. old and experienced min
ers. Ia equal any amysdalold showing
ever made in the Lake superior dis
,rict There is one stretch of forty
five feet i'm length that is forty fee
wide, fun of the good copper. This is,
of course. to the east of the shaft
where the best ground has been met
with. Even where the width was 50
great the hanging wall had not yet
been encountered. The twenty third
Lowell Is from fair TO good. The
twcnty-second, which has a stretch
over 1000 feet of commercially miner
allied territory, is just out of the cop
per and is seeking it by a crosscut,
These disclosures seem to bear out
The theory of the management that
there is enough profitable ground at
the bottom of the mine and east of the
shaft To make paying property. The
plat is about cut at the twenty-tifth
level and next week when it is finished
sinking will be started again.
Wyandot.
The Wyandot management, on ac-
count of the very promising and en-
,ouraSiug naturalization disclosed on
the seventh and eighth levels of the
No lode has just begun to continue
the Wine down to the ninth level
The seventh level has been opened up
by drifts for about 100 feet and the
eighth for about 200. some copper
was constantly encountered and Oc-
,asionally short stretches of CONNER
cial grade.
Mohawk.
Mohawk viii after a while use mules
FOR underground haulaGc. This meth
cd has been worry successful at the
Ahmcck, where eight are now employ
ed tn" number having been gradually
increased from two. There are now
two at the Isle Royai". which will be
tried out i'm the drifts after a time.
Ahmeek.
Ahmcrk'S purchase of eleven acres
from the Hale and Jacob interests i'm
1912 has proved very profitable, buth
on account Of its excellent quality 60
copper ANA the very low price. This
lies jus; north of No. shaft, the
noYih'u shaft of the Ahmeck proper.
