The ore body maintains its remarkable features, and the lower tunnel is row into porphyry which, in the upper workings, was found overlying the ore. It is thought the vein will be encountered in another hundred feet. The work of cleaning the shaft at the West Ontario and catching up the big cave is progressing very rapidly, and Mr. Hancock, one of the leasors, says he expects to get through the wreck within the next few days when a thorough examination of the proper ly will be made to learn the cause of the cave.

Work on the erection of the mill on the Highland Boy group has been delayed by the sudden advent of winter, and Manager Wep: announces its postponement until spring. The Morning Star, on the same hill asthl-Frisclately purchased from Mr. Laslibrook by Salt Lake parties, is working three men on the ore body, and the main tunnel is being driven ahead by contract. The management of the Frisco has suspended the driving of the tunnels, and has commenced sinking from the level of Tunnel No. 4, the lowest tunnel, on the ore body from which o, so much ore has been extracted lately. The Frisco has been a producer for twenty years, and this new move to sink with the vein insures a splendid future for the property.

At the same time a force is maintained drifting east and west on the 300 level where a good ore body has been exposed.
