KSIcxRRBocXER COMPANY, AMERICAN
FLAT.-This Company are now engaged
in working their claim through their shaft
on the side of the hill, just below the
Jewett & Shepard Company's shaft. They
have been working their claim since the
lst of January last, but most Of the time,
during the earlier part Of the year, were
working it through the tunnel. Their
shaft is now down about $50 feet. but the
work is being done in a drift at the depth
of 2lO feet. The shaft is about twenty or
thirty feet below water-level, and conse-
quently that much water is in the shaft,
as none is at present hoisted. The Com
pany will not be able to sink deeper I'M
til they put up more machinery, without
some mine in the vicinity drains them.
The Company, however, at this level are
taking out some very good looking ore.
At the upper levels, and in the tunnel, the
ore Of the ledge has been Of o brownish
appearance, but in the level where they
are now working, the quartz is of a much
lighter color generally, and the pay spots
are black, or nearly 80. This ledge, which
is traced along the hill from the North
American Claim, has the same brown
quartz on the surface which was found in
the Orman and Belcher near the top. 1t
has always been supposed by its owners
that when it has been gone down upon to
the depth of two or three hundred feet
it would be found of the same character,
if not fully as rich as rock in those claims
where it has been opened to that and
greater depths. The appearance of the
rock recently taken out indicates that
such is undoubtedly the case, and but lit
tie doubt can exist in the minds of those
who have examined the ledge closely and
compared its character and appearance, at
different depths. and the different places.
that when machinery is put on the claims
and the ledge opened down four or five
hundred feet, it will be found to pay on
siderable amounts, if it does not yield re-
spectacle dividends.
Jusr WHAr's WANTED The Balti-
more American Company are now busily
engaged in grading a lot around their
shaft, above the American Flat road, on
which to erect heavy hosting works.
The shaft has been sunk down to the
depth Of 230 feet. It connects with the
company's tunnel OF a point about 800
feet from its mouth. The shaft has, how
ever, been sunk some 80 feet below the
level Of that work, at which depth such
quantities Of water were struck as TO pre-
ven sinking deeper without powerful
pumping and hosting machinery. This
the company determined on erecting, and
forthwith set themselves about it. The
lot is nearly graded. and Mr.. J. F. Thomp-
son is now experimenting the work of
framing the building and hosting works.
We were yesterday shown a drawing Of
the building which is to be erected. 1t
consists of an upright or main building of
40 feet front and sc feet depth, and has a
boiler house adjoining, which is 20 feet
WIDE and 40 feet long. The machinery
will consist Of two 50-horse power link
motion horizontal steam engines, which
will be set so as TO work together, making
the hosting power Of enormous strength.
The company will also put into their shaft
a ten-inch bore seven-feet stroke Cornish
