Cl-'.uu- From the lit n'il of Saturday wo glean tin following: Oxtauio. At Ontario a now inaoliiiio shop is being oroototl between tin old hoisting works and tin blacksmith shop. It will lx 2Hx42 feet. A now engine and latho has boon ordorod. Tlu forces in the blacksmith shop will have a blast attacli-morun by power from the maeliine shop. The Station at the Ilk) level is completed, and the drift for the vein is in about 45 feet. The crosscut will be made at a distance of 200 feet from the shaft. (iI.kntok. The (ileneoe is looking better than ever before. The drift is in fifty feet on the vein, which shows well all the way carrying from a foot in the narrowest places, up to two and three feet of ore. The face of the drift carries about two loot of fin smelting ore. There are forty tons of ore on tin dump. This week drifting on the vein fias been suspended, and a tunnel is being run to cut a direct ami straight outlet for tlu drift. Heretofore it was reached by a prospect tunnel e which had two turns. Boss. The Boss mine is producing from three to five tons of on per day, taken from tin face of the drifts and two stnpcs just started just above the Ho foot level. Tin out put will increase as the stupes are raised. The mine is in the finest possible working order. The 155 foot level has been pushed east to the surface, coming out under the dump. It now makes a splendid working tunnel. An incline has been started from the drift on the 1(H) foot level, and is now down forty feet in rood ore all the wav. t Samfsox. Yesterday we visited the Sampson mine and found .las. A. I.eahv working twoshifts in the discovery shaft. It is now down 125 feet, on as smooth a foot wall all the way as oiii could wish to see. The vein is about seven foot thick with a streak of from ten to 24 inches carrying more or less silver and lead. The shift at work previous to our visit had come into some very high grade eholrido ore, which was imVc hope to record a big strike next week. proving yesterday. feet deeper and a drift will be run east on tin Twenty-fiv- e vein. The Sampson is undoubtedly on the Boss vein. Tlu two shafts are less than 100 feet apart. Preparations are being made for winter bv covering in the shaft. The method for supplying fresh air deserves mention. At the depth of thirty feet a small furnace is built. An air tube enters it from the bottom of tlu shaft, and one runs from it to the surface. A fire being math, the hot airasccnds to the surface thus sucking up from below the foul air. It is a complete success. Hiciiakiisox. The Ilichardson tunnel is 7S0 feet. I.axawaxkx. A new boarding house is being erected at the I.axa waxen. The mine is looking very well. FmiIKK. The drift for the vein on the 400 level in the Umpire has again been started. The vein should be cut next week. Wasatch. Mr. Pickering, foreman of the Wasatch, brought us in a sample of the ore which he has in the face of the tunnel. It is very rich indeed. There were twelve inches of ore on Wednesday and the vein widening. The ore shows beau-- t i ful 'y in the roof of the tunnel when it has not yet been lagged. Our predictions respecting this mine are being realized. Two shifts are at work. nt right-angl- Frisco IH trlct. The Titm-- of last Saturday has tlu?' following: is (iunoxATK No. 2.
