NrpAs CoMPASY.-This company has now
the deepest shaft south of the Confidence
claim, and vet, strange to say, it is perfectly
dry. This shaft is now $50 feet deep. 1t is
timbered with fOur-iRch planks, and the work
is being done in as substantial manner as
though the ground through which it is being
sunk were wet and soft. When this shaft
was only POS feet deep, so much water came
into il that it became necessary TO put in 4
pump, but now there is no water in the mine,
and consequently the pump is useless prop
erty. The Apple shaft, hundred feet south,
and the Belcher shaft, few hundred feet
north, are neither Of them near so deep as this
one, vet there are fifteen or twenty inches of
water all the time coming into one, and seYe-
raj inches into the other.
SUSPENDED OPERATIONS. The Crown
Point company suspended work on its claim
yesterday. 1t becomes evident that, with
what machinery it now has, it will not be
able 10 take the water out rapidly enough TO
keep il below the drift. The immense amount
of water which comes in NAV be imagined
from the fact that when the pump is running,
and throwing out 4 stream of water about ID
or 20 inches in size, il lowers the water in the
shaft about TWO feet below where it now
stands when suffered TO rise to the highest
level, which is about 50 feet from the bottom.
The mill, too, is not running now, but vii! be
started again in few days, as soon as some
repairs which are now going on are COM
pleted.
CSCLR SAM CO.-The Uncle Sam Com
pany has had steam up at its mine for the
past two days, for the purpose of hoistingand
lowering men in the shaft, while they are
putting the pipe on the pump. The pump
itself was put in the shaft 4 long time ago,
was not attached 70 it. The company has
not for several weeks been at work but pre-
pairing the pump for work, looks rs ii opera
lions are soon 10 be resumed again. Every
thing else is in readiness, either for sinking
the shaft, or working the ledge, and 1t will
not De want of material TO work the mine, If
operations are nor again commenced.
PRIDE OF AMERICA COMPANY. - This
company keeps steadily at work at the drift
which it commenced running several days
ago. The drift, it will be remembered, is
started from the shaft at the depth OF 229
feet. Il is now about ten or twelve feet in
length and being driven ahead as rapidly as
possible, with the expectation Of soon striking
the ledge. For day or two past the work
men have found considerable quartz mixed
with the rock which they have taken out,
which they consider as 4 good indication of
the presence Of the ledge. Il certainly IS
good indication.
New DUNP.-The Belcher company is
building stone wall along in front of its
mining works for the foundation to new
dump. The wall will extend along beside
the road as much as hundred and tlfty or
TWO hundred feet, and will when completed
be six or seven feet high. The top OF this
forms the front Of the floor OF the dump
which extends back and rests upon bench
which has been cut into the bank at that
level. The dump will extend all along where
the wall is being built, and there will there
fore be room enough at it for several teams
10 load at time.
Scorr CONSOLIDATED CoNPANY.- This
company keeps at work at its tunnel all the
time, and although the rock continues hard,
under the superintendent Of Mr.. Scott the
work goes along rapidly and is being done
well. The tunnel is now about go feet long.
There continues to be about as much water
coming into the tunnel now as there was
when the main stream was struck, but II does
not come in the fuse where the mel work as
it did then, so that it is now no hindrance to
workmen.
LEFT FOR THE BAT.-Mr. Nelson, Super
intendent Of the Nelson Consolidated claim,
left town yesterday for San Francisco,
whittier he goes to purchase an eighty-horse
power engine and 4 ten-inch pump, to be
used at that claim. Mr.. Nelson IS an ener-
getic business man, and Will have the ma
chinery over here and in operation as soon as
possible. We think the company used good
III OtGIulL4e OAA -AthfAAAS SSSNi
and strong machinery, and are confident 1t
will find such much the cheapest in the end.
AGAIN IN OPERATGoN.-Reed's mill is
again in operation. 1t has been receiving
thorough repairs, and is now ready for another
long run. Steam was raised three or four
DAYS ago, for the purpose of moying machinery
20 enable workmen to turn OF the pulIeyS,
repair the mullers, ETC., but the mill was not
run 70 work rock until yesterday. 1t has
pounded out many thousands of bullion, and
IS able 10 work out thousands and thousands
more.

KNTCKBRBocKER COMPANY. This COM
pany is running drift to its ledge, and IS
now very near it. 1t is being run from the
shaft at as low point as the water will per-
nit it to be. The drift is being run in good
picking ground, and the rock taken out for a
few days past has been nearly half quartz.
