Up to January lt, 1891, the company had expended 9AM3.000 without returns. Then the work of taking ore from tunnel vein was t, determined upon,- - New hoisting works were erected, and such other Improvements made a were necessary to an economical development of tho property. From January to November; 1801, ore and concentrates to the value of 8o.'il,3M3.04 wero sold. At the same time of Mr. Keith's appointment as superintendent the management selected John Thompson chief engineer of the company. The choice was s'a- wise one.

A smaller force of men bas been employed sinoe tbe beginning of December, and these men will continue work all winter. A tunnel is being run In to supply air to the mine, and hence the winter's operating will all be dead work to prepare for stoping in the spring. Const llation.. The Constellation group of five claims, lylcg northeast of the Ontario, bas a shaft down 100 feet and a tunnel in 200 feet. A contract bas just been let to some Chicago men to push the tunnel ahead 300 feet farther for a block of 10,000 shares of tbe capital stock of tbo Constellation Silver M)uing Company.

Ferry, president and manager; D. C. McLaughlin, W. V.;': Rice, secretary ; A. B. Richardson, treasurer. The property of the company consists of nine patented mining claims, embracing 3000 feet in length of the Woodside vein. This wonderful vein produced In 1888-8- 9 ore to the amount of $500,000. Tbe Williams boys, under a lease of the property, extracted tbe most of this ore.' When this company organized, Charles Gltscb. formerly of the Crescent mine, was appointed superintendent; new hoisting works were erected and a shaft sunk In the center of tbe property. This shaft was sunk; to a depth of 600 foet; with stations at each 300 feet of shaft. During the summer and) fall there has been drifts run from the ' 200 level to connect with the ore vein In tho old leasers' workings at west end of the propper day erty. Fifteen men on an average have been employed, but as band-drillionly bas been used in running tho drifts, the progress has neoessarlly been slow. We are. however, informed by Mr. Gltsch that, eon-- " nectlon with vela and old workings will be made not later than February 1, 1892, which will furnish natural ventilation.'
