On No. 2 reef, in the block above No. 1 level stoping is being proceeded with, and some really good quartz is being* obtained. The Calif ornian rock borer lately introduced, and now constantly being worked in this mine, gives every satisfaction, and is now employed in completing the drive in No. 1 reef to connect with winze.
