points with conditions underground
generally favorable. The Union
Consolidated extracted 369 tons of
ore for tn eweek, having a gross
value of about $4,000, taken from
the 24O0 and $500 level Slopes,
and Sierra Nevada saved ia tons
Of lower grade ore from stope No.
1. Both companies continued ship
ments to the Mexican mill which
crushed 4S3 tons of ore, averaging
S14.49 per ton, and having a gross
value Of nearly $1,000. The Sier-
ra Nevada from the bottom of the
$500 winze drove west and from
the end of the crosscut drifted
north and south for eight feet. The
Union shaft was reopened and e
paired 20 feet to the 320-foot point
below the 1000 station. The Mexi-
can crosscuts on the $500 and 27o0
levels continue to show favorable
formation of porphyry and quartz
Of low assay value. Ophir and Con-
solidated Virginia on the 2700
level are driving north and south
on the east vein, both drifts being
advanced to the 21-foot point. The
face of these drifts is in heavy
quartz formation, dipping to the
east and giving low assays.
The Union Consolidated extracted
500 IONS of orc the past week,
having a gross assay value of about
$4,000. The production from store
No. 4 on the 2400 level was re-
duced this week, on account of it
being necessary to repair and tim
Der in the top of the raise in the
stope, the raise connecting the
$500 and 2400 levels. There was
saved in this work A tons of ore
averaging $31.65 per ton. From
stope No. 5 on this level 125 tons
of ore were extracted averaging
$14.40 per ton. From stope No.
1 on the $500 level, 200 tons of
ore were saved averaging $12.65,
per ton. The 200 level north drift
was reopened and repaired 80 feet
to the 200-foot point.
Good progress was made in re-
opening the Union shaft below the
1000 level, 20 feet being made
for the week to the 320-foot point
below the 1000 station.
The Mexican mill received 483
tons of custom ore; averaging $14.49
per ton and having a gross value of
approximately $1,000. In the Mex
lean mine the west crosscut on the
$500 level shows porphyry and
quartz Of low assay value at the
point. The east crosscut
on the 200 level is also in porphyry
and quartz of low assay value.
The Sierra Nevada On the $500
level, worked in No. 1 stope and
saved ia tons of ore averaging
1854 per ton. The west crosscut
from the bottom of the winza in
No. 1 stope has been advanced
four feet and from the end of this
drifts north and south
been run for a distance OF
feet. i
The Andes company on the inte--
mediate level extracted Is cars Of
ore, and made necessary repairs
the $50 level.
The Jacket mill received 926 tons
of ore, 496 coming from the mine,
and 43O tons being dump rock. One
bar of bullion was shipped to the
,melter. On the 800 level of the
mine, the crosscut is being cleaned
out and repaired. From No. 3
Slope on tie 1900 level 462 cars #
{ were 4xtrac ed AMI four cars
in prospecting on the 400 level. Re
PAIRS were made at various points
and on the 400 transformer sta

The features of the mining re
ports today continue to be the
substantial ore extraction from the
Union Consolidated slopes on the
24O0 and $500 levels, where 29S
tom We're taken out and gave a
gross assay value above $4,000, and
the Sierra Nevada from No. l stope
on the 2400 level extracted 1O1
tons, having a gross value of over
$1,000. The Mexican mill crushed
AIS tons of custom ore from these
two mines, the ore averaging $22.G9
per ton and having a gross value
in excess of $4,000. Sierra Ne
vada has resumed sinking the
