they were compelled to desist from blast

running mp an incline on the hanging
wall Of tho ledge TO the surface, for
fresh air. In about 10 days, or two
weeks # the furthest. the mir shaft will be
completed, when they will commence taxi

hanging wall Is ~decnmposei and can be
picked through readily. The ledge dips
to the enst ut M angle of As degrees,
running northeast and southwest. with
clear, well defined foot aud hanging
walls, the latter. as far ms run up on,
being perfectly fat lud smooth as class.
The depth of the ledge where struck. is
over 100 feet from the s%nrface. On the
pitch or dip, perpendieniarly, 70 feet.
On the s%urfaee. the ledge varies from 3

The SAINT strntnm nnderlies the whole

the existence Of n true iissnre vein In
White Pine, but more particularly on
Treasure Hill, can 90 and examine the
Anchor and be satisfied that such Is the
fact.
SoUrH AURoRA.-The Stanford mill is
kept stea3Ijy running on ore from this
mine. The shipments from the mill
form the best argument on the merits Of
this mine.
PEsNsYLvANIA-This mine joins the
Original hidden Treasure in the north,
aud runs south from the line 100 feet.
1t vas located in 1865, and is supposed
to be on the same ledge rs that mine.
Six men are Mt work in the mine. An
incline is being sunk, showing a gon1
body Of milling ore, some 6 feet wide.
The wners propose milling next month
100 tuns. The character Of the ore is
similar to thai Of the o. II. I.
SILVER Vault TUNNEL-Working two
shifts and making Roadway at the rate of
s feet per week. Tunnel now in over
$50 feet. The last 10 feet chiefly through
vein matter, showing every indication Of
close proximity to a ledge or deposit Of
ore.
BAsE RANGE.
ELKo-Drining south on the f00-foot
level. The ledge was running at an
angle of - degrees east Of south. 1t
has now broken over, aud is running
straight. The average width of the
ledge is about ) feet. The ore coming
ont INV is II rich black Stedteldtite.
which assays high. Nine tuus a day are
being extracted.
ERIF-The Injunction upon the Erie
comes before TIE Distiist Gourt to-day.
Ia the meantime this desirable mine Is
closed.
BAsE METAL CoSsoL1DATToS-All the
force is concentrated in running the
S0-faot level in the Stockholm slaait.
The drift follows the l,dge at Il sharp
incline into the bill. The ore looks iue.
WAtsu FCESAcE-This finely finished
new furnace wa7 fired up for dying pnr-
poses on Friday evening. This morning
The men will stat in feeding. and ii
nothing happens we shall sopn have re-
suits to chronicle. There is plenty OF
ore on hand Ia make Il thorough test of
the quality and capacity Of the furnace.
ALsop-Is running on Imperial ore.
