A heavy flow of water is greatly retarding the work in the Buckeye, and Manager Green states that the company will put in a pump at once. They are now drifting from the level and are taking out lots of ore running $14 gold, 20 ounces silver and 25 to 30 per cent lead. .They are also drifting on the level and are getting a good grade of carbonate ore.

Several prominent shippers, including the Old Jordan and Galena, have temporarily suspended outputting While repairs, changes and improvements are being made, while others are laying off on account of the low. price of lead, preferring to go slow until there is an advance. On the other hand, quite a number of new leasers have begun work, some on virgin ground, and prospecting has seldom been more active than now, so that the business of the camp may be said to be in a fairly flourishing condition, while the outlook for the balance of the season is favorable.
