THE EVENING NEWS.

ming parallel with the ledge of the Cali
fornia Company, with whom the Mont
Blanc are engaged in litigation, upon the
one ledge theory question. A shaft has
been sunk to the depth of $40 feet of two
compartments 4 by 4, substantially tim
bered, with two and four inch planking.
At the depth of ITO feet, the company
caused drift to be driven to the east, in
order to strike the ledge of the California
Company, and ascertain the distance be-
tween the two lodges which were found
TO be 81 feet. At the depth of los feet
drift was run to the west distance OF
fifty feet and the ledge was struck, from
which an incline was sunk to further
distance of ninety feet, and the ledge
found to be pitching again in an easterly
direction at a further depth of ninety
feet on the incline, accordingly the
company decided to still continue the
sinking of their shaft still deeper in order
to strike the ledge at lower depth, and
when the depth of 80 feet had been
reached (Which result was obtained this
week. a drift was again run to the west,
and fine ledge struck, which bids fair to
compensate the company for all their
labor, being Of ample size and rich in
silver ore. At this depth the ledge is
found to be pitching in the same uniform
direction. and the main shaft will be sunk
TO a further depth of twenty-five feet,
making a total depth Of 3S5 feet, so that
work may be done directly from the shaft.
New hosting works will be Immediately
erected, and work will be prosecuted with
renewed vigor and ore raised in quantities
for reduction, which, if proving as rich as
recent ASSAYS indicate, will shortly enable
the company to declare handsome diyi-
dend. Mr.. J. VI. Peck, the Superintend
en,, evidently understands how to work a
mine to good advantage, and to him and
Mr.. Cutie, the efficient Secretary, are we
indebted for the interesting particulars
above given.
