sunk TO the depth Of about fifteen feet
from the bottom Of which drift has been

Work has been stopped for short time,

worked at Amber's mill.
BELLE.-This ledge is situated about
one quarter Of mile southeast of Yankee
Blade, An incline has been sunk upon it
thirty Ave feet in which distance it has
increased in width from sixteen inches to
over two feet Much Of the ore is of a
reddish color, and assays Of it have proven
it to be quite rich. Quite large Quanti-
4y Of rock is now lying at the mouth of the
incline. The ledge is we'll defined and
pitches very perpendicular. The COM

pect, and are determined to spare no en-
ergy and expense to speedily develop it. ?
Coon YIELD.-An assay of some rock
from the Golden Era ledge, situated a
short distance this side of Amador, made
By L. Miller Of the Bavarian Brewery,
yielded $lSOS 20 to the ton. Pretty good.
NArON4L TUNNEL-This tunnel is now
in about eiE6ty feet, including the open

1t one hundred feet further at twenty dol
lars per foot The work is being pushed
