The Kennedy was shut down and lay idle until 1885, when theKennedy Mining and IMilling Company reopened it. The south shaftwas sunk 200 feet deeper, and ore was foiuid, and this shaft was con-tinued on the incline to a depth of 2276 feet. The north shaft was alsosunk to an inclined depth of 2500 feet. The results after reopeningwere so satisfactory that a new vertical sluift was started about 1900at a distance of 1950 feet east of the north shaft, and intended to cut.

The Kennedy produced, to tlie end of 1915, and to avertical depth of 3450 feet, a total of tons, giving a total grossrecovery of $6,378,000, or an average of $ a ton. This shows that,as a whole, the property was a profitable producer during that 1885 and 1900 about 36,000 tons a year were milled, at areported total cost of $ or $ a ton. For the period 1916 to 1926,inclusive, the production was $5,991,530. This makes the total gross|)roduction of the mine to tlie end of 1926, $12,369,530 gold and to the low average grade of ore between 1918 and 1924, inclusive,when stoping was principally between the 3600-ft. and 4350-ft. levels,and b
