The new mill will be ready to start
into operation some time next week,
under charge Of Mr.. Simon Schleweck.
Mr.. William Skyrme, having charge
Of the mining department, has got his
arrangements about perfected for fully
supplying the mill with the extra good
ore from the lower tunnel. The pres
ent assessment (No. q Of IS became
delinquent last Monday, and was duly
added to the price Of the stock.
SAVAGE.
Daily yield, 20 tons, all from the Sth
or lowest level. The bullion receipts
show this ore to be rather lower in
grade than that Of last week, but a
better quality is expected to be got at
very shortly. The deeper sinking Of
the main shaft progresses favorably,
and the mine and all affairs connected
with 1t seem to be conducted upon a
more economical and business like
basis than ever before.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The cross-cut west at the 1,200tfoot
level shows only barren quartz and
porphyry. The ore in the winze 80
feet above Is being drifted on, but 1t
still show only a small streak, between
two and three feet wide. What there
Is Of it, however, Is very good, with
spots Of extra richness. The sinking
Of the shaft deeper progresses favor
ably.
VIRGINIA CONSOLIDATED.
West DRIFT from the 500-foot station
of the new shaft now in 5S5 feet. The
rock Is much harder, therefore not 80
fast progress is made. The upper mine
still continues to yield q few tons OF
ore daily. Five tons Of rich ore,
sacked, was hauled by one Of Breed
s. Crosby's teams to the Auburn mill,
Reno, yesterday, for treatment.
CROWN POINT.
Daily yield so tons, mostly low
grade ore from the upper levels, with
quite an acceptable contribution Of ore
from the small vein found at the 700
foot level, which shows better and bet
ter as further developed. The incline
Is now down u feet below the LOO
foot level, and sinking continued at q
favorable rate.
GOULD & CURRY.
A very good body Of ore Is developed
within the last few days near the south
line, about the ID street level, which
promises well, and may prove OF con-
siderable extent. None Of the other
prospecting operations develop any
thing new and interesting. The daily
yield is about 40 tons. Receipts for
July, $36,5s5 %.
Considerable low grade ore is found
In the old upper mine, yet none Of
good available quality. The drifts at
the lowest level do not develop any
ore as vet, but the southwest DRIFT for
the South Ophir ground will reach that
interesting part of the mine in about
two weeks, when important results are
anticipated.
BELCHER.
A small but very good seam Of ore
Is found in mining the l52-foot level
drifting further north to the line. The
ore seam sunk upon ut this level did
hold out good. Drifting at the 100
foot level still develops no ore. Other
prospect drifts are being driven at the
262, 420-foot, and other levels OF the
mine.
SACRAMENTO AND MEREDITH.
The new mill is doing most excellent
work, and is kept steadily running ON
ore from the mine, yielding very nc
ceptable returns. We have no change
to report in the mine. An assessment
of g per share has recently been lev
led, delinquent September 10th. -
KENTUCK.
Daily yield 35 tons, nearly all from
the upper levels, and of low grade.
The principal yield is from u point in
the old west workings, about 80 feet
from the surface. Gas interferes yet
with operations at the 70O-foot level.
Receipts for July, $9,465 20.
CALEDONIA.
This mine has yielded little or no
ore the last few days owing to prepa-
nations being made for hosting 1t here
after through the Uncle Sam shaft.
Hosting will commence tomorrow or
next day.
HOPE.
Daily yield, 40 tons, milling $25 per
ton. Both mine and mills working
steadily and we'll.
