OHIO LEDGE - GOLDEN FLEECE Com
PANY.-Thc claim of this company is situa-
ted in Santa Fe District, and is an old loca-
ton. 4 tunnel was commenced some time
since, and few days ago it tapped the ledge
at depth of sixty feet below the surface.
The ledge at this depth has realized the most
Sanguine expectations of the company, and
all that is needed now is 4 mill conveniently
situated to crush the large amount of rock
that can be extracted. This will probably be
erected early in the spring. The ledge is ten
feet wide, and assays have been obtained
from it near the surface as high as $500.
The tunnel is MY seventy feet in length, so
that the ledge can be worked very easily
through it.
ONTARIO LEpGE.-This ledge is situated
about oue-half mile southeast Of the Yankee
Blade. There are 1000 feet in the location,
and preparations are now being made to sink
double shaft. The work will be pushed
forward rapidly. We were shown few days
since, by Mr.. ID. McHcnrv, two small bars
one of the value of s. p, obtained from
thirteen pounds of rock from this ledge, and
the other worth Sc o., the yield of twenty
five pounds. This return would be at the
rate of $500 to the ton-as good as need be
desired.
CHIDGRY LEDGE.-This ledge is situated
about one mile and half south Of town, and
but short distance from the Tesora. twas
discovered and located about three months
since. An incline has been sunk on it %
feet, at which depth the ledge is twenty-thrcc
inches wide and well defined. The ore will
undoubtedly pay well, as it shows chlorides
in large quantities. Work is being vigor-
ouSly prosecuted and Il considerable amount
of quartz has already been extracted. Mr.. S.
2. Roberts is the superintendent.
NAPA LEpGE.-ThiS ledge is situated near
the upper grade, and but Il short distance
from the Pony Ledge. 1t was discovered
about a month since, and location of one
thousand feet made by McSSrS. Amadcn. Sny-
der, Ankcr and our old friend o. c. Lewis.
We have been shown a specimen Of the rock
taken ont within few feet of the surface,
which looks decidedly well.
REVENUE CoMPANY.-Wc have been
shown some rick specimens Of orc from this
mine, the rock from which, upon crushing
and assays, realizes upwards of six hundred
dollars to the ton. The shareholders have Il
good thing OF it. The work is being prose-
cutcd with energy.
Coon WoRK.-One day last week forty
three pounds of rock from the Troy ledge
was crushed at the Union Mill, and yielded
at the rate of 81 800 to the ton. The rock
Was crushed by the small two-stamp battery
used at this mill for prospecting purposes,
worked to within five and seven-eighths per
cent. of the fire assay.
PEACOCK LEnGE.-This ledge is situated
in Marshall Canon. An incline has been
sunk upon it to the depth of nineteen feet.
The ledge is well defined, thirty-two inches
wide, and fine ore is now being taken out.
The prospects are that this claim will prove
to be number one.
We were shown Yesterday several Speci-
mems taken from the Chidgey and Peacock
lodges, for the purpose of being sent to San
Francisco. We venture that the hearts Of
owners will be much gladdcned when they
reach their destination.
BULLIoN.-We saw few days since four
large and fine looking silver bricks, which
had been obtained from ore extracted from
the Vineyard ledge and crushed at the Union
mill. The bars were worth 81 ,S0l 81. Keep
them coming, the moro the merricr.
