when connection will be made i'm
mediately with the producing parts
of the mine by cross-cuts that will
have reached the shaft on the $50,
$50 and 1O17-foot levels. Produc-
ton will be approximately doubled
upon the completion of this shaft
and important measures of economy
in operation will be made possible.
In all parts of the mine conditions
are highly satisfactory, particularly
in the newer workings at the south
east, within 200 feet of the Merger
boundary, and in the stopping terri
tory on the shale contact ore, above
a depth of $50 feet, in the ore
opened from the raise above the
524 drift. This drift has been ex-
tended for considerably over 300
feet, in ore of excellent grade for
the entire distance. The Sal and
SAG slopes have been yielding ore
~assaying from $50 to over 5000 pei
ton. This is mixed with the low
er grade product taken out in de-
velopment and in clearing lower
grade material from the deeper
slopes. Production is being main
tanned at a rate insuring net profits
of over $4,000 monthly.
ReOrganized Kewanas
The winze at the end of the east
cr%Oss-cut, at a depth OF $40 feet In
the Kewanas, has exposed shale, but
it is not yet determined if this is the
actual shale flooor hat has been
sought, or an intrusion projecting
above the normal bedding plane OF
the shale. 1t is still apparent that
the work is too far to the west to
look for the best results, and Man
ager Darcy will continue the winze
along the shale, on it's dip to the
east, in search of the point where
the ore-shoot found on the $40
level comes in contact with the
shale. From this point drifts will
be extended north and south along
the lTeIu vi Tie Veil. IL hoi
north drift has progressed for over
26O feet, showing ore of varying
width and for the most part of COM
mercial grade for the entire dis
lance.
Atlanta Mines Co.
The Atlanta mine is making a
better showing of pay ore than at
any time since work was started on
the 1750-foOt level. A Wine is
now being sunk from this level, at
a point where the h~anging-wall drift
exposed over five feet Of $40 ore,
and the ore as now being broken III
sinking is a good shipping product,
averaging above 80 per ton. The
prospects are favorable for a con-
siderable volume of shipping ore
from this point, while the new slopes
on the 1880 and 1620-fOot levels are
yielding some ore of shipping grade
and a large tonnage of lower grade
mill ore is being blocked out be-
tween the 1880 and 175O-foot levels.

the northeast cross-cut at a depth
of ITS feet, which has reached a
point in the northern extremity of
the Algae Fraction. Progress dur
ing the past week has therefore been
impeded to some extent, but n
work will o proceed with the OBJ
iect of ~prospecting for the southern
branch of the limbo Extension ore
channel. The present work is in
the nature Of prospecting and with
it's further advance the company will

for the future.
Great BEND Mining Co.
The EAST drift on the 4OO-foot
level of the Great Bend, following
the main vein. is progressing at sat
isfactorv speed with the aid of ma
chine drills. This drift is being
driven to reach a point Immediately
under the old winZe from the 200
foot level, in which early lessees
found ore of excellent grade just
before they were driven out by wa
ter. The Justice Gold Mining com
many. under the direction of John
La Foe. is taking out some ore oil
shipping grade from a raise above
