The 1750 level station has been repaired. The nooa of the station being entirely rotten a new floor has been put in and the station made ready to receive the switch plates and track when re- quired. All of this work has been done on Con. Cal. and Va. account by the Pumping As- goclation. The pump engine has been over- hauled for use in trkpping the pump compart- ment of the C. and C. shaft of the old wire transmission plant and preparing it to receive the hydraulic pipe for the new pumping plant. All of this work has been done by the Com- mping Assoclation. "i’fi"mf"olfiur‘m Mexican mines the Central tunnel has been cleaned out for a distance of thirty feet north and 200 feet west of the Mexican shaft. A crosscut has been driven easterly from the drift north of the winze on the Central tunnel level, the location of this crosscut being 170 feet north and 200 feet west- erly from the Mexican shaft. This crosscut has been run In the expectation of finding an ore streak that is believed to exist to the east of the starting point. The ground is in bad ! condition and will require extensive repairs, but they expect to reach the ore before mak- ing the necessary repairs that may be re- quired before extracting ore or moving waste from this point. A party of three miners is extracting & little ore from a point 145 feet west of the Mexican shaft on the north side of the drift and fifty-five feet east of the winze station. In the Slerra Nevada mine, the northwest | arift from the station at the 140-foot level of | the shaft was advanced twenty feet, making total of 473 feet; face In porphyry and clay with seams of soft quartz through it. Most of the week has been occupled in easing tim- bers and repairing the drift. 900-foot level— The station at the top of the raise, eighty feet Jevel, has been completed. The north drift started from the top of the raise, elghty feet above this level, was advanced ten feet; total length twenty-two feet; face in por- phyry. In the Chollar and Potosi mines, they are making some necessary repars to the “shaft station on the tunnel level, which will take several days to complete. In the Occldental Consolidated mine, accord- ing to the officlal report of Superiptendent A. T. Eager, the work of prospecting the ore body on the 450-foot level was continued during the past week. The north drift was extended eight feet with quartz of the same value and char- acter as at the south end of the chute. 6§50 foot level—work has been commenced drifting on the footwall north to encounter the ore body found on the 450.

United States Coast and Geodetic Survey— Times and Heights of “High and Low Waters at_Fort Point, entrance to San Francisco Bay. Published by official au- thority of the Superintendent. NOTE—The high and low waters occur at the city front (Misslon-street wharf) about twenty-five minutes later than at Fort Point; the height of tide is the same at both places. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13. NOTE—In the above exposition of the tides the early morning tides are given in the left hand column and the successive tides of the day in the order of occurrence as to time. The second time column gives the second tide of the day, the third time column the third tide and the last or right hand column gives the last tide of the day, except when there are but three tides, as sometimes occur. The heights iven are ‘additions to the soundings on the nited States Coast Survey charts, except when a minus sign (—) precedes the height, and then the number given is subtracted from the depth glven by the charts. The plane of reference is the mean of the lower low waters. VRS U S —— S1IAMERS TO ARRIVE. Steamer. From. Due. Coos Bay Newport .. & .|Dec. 13 | Umatilla.
