pect for finding any new and good
bodies Of ore except near the Hale q
Norcross line, at the lo~westlevels. We
were correct In our statement that a
new combination of capitalists has
succeeded in acquiring enough stock to
control the coming annual election OF
the company which takes place next
Thursday. The old Board Of Trustees,
however, It Is said, has contracted for
the milling Of the ore for the next two
years.
nREMK~EMPRE. !.
The shaft Is now 1850 feet deep, and
sinking deeper progresses very slowly,
owing to the hardness Of the rock and
trouble from water. The Wine con-
nection recently completed from the
100 to the l,200foot level gives an
excellent circulation Of air. Nothing
new to report In any part of the mine,
excepting that the DRIFT at the 1900
foot level Ia looking a little more favor
able.
oPHTR.
Nothing new developed In the old
upper niue. At the lower or 7OO-fOot
level from the new shaft the west and
northwest drifts also show nothing.
The southwest drift, No.2, however.
as we stated last week, has cut Into
promising ledge matter, but the rock
being hard, it was thought advisable
to back out and Drift south In the east
clay wall, with a view to prosecuting
into the ledge by and by.
OCCIDENTAL.
The connection of the lower tunnel
with the winze from the upper mine
was completed night before last. A
very large body Of superior ore Is now
laid open for working to the best ad-
vantage, with most excellent ventila-
ton throughout the mine. The tunnel
will be placed In the best possible con-
dition, ready for the supply of the new
mill now building near Its mouth.
SACRAMENTO AND MEREDITH.
The new mill is now completed In
all its details, allowing the batteries to
work steadily to their fullest capacity.
A full supply Of ore Is furnished from
the excellent upper ore-body of the
mine, and even more satisfactory re-
turns may be looked for In the future
from the batteries. This company has
now a fine prospect for making money.
GOULD & FURRY.
The daily yield during the past week
shows considerable of n falling off.
Prospecting for new bodies is being
vigorously conducted In all directions,
but with no particular success. At
the lowest level a few little streaks OF
quartz are met with but no ore. An
assessment of $12 so per share was
levied dry before yesterday.
CROWN POINT.
The lower or ], l00Lfoot level Is freed
from water, and prospecting at that
point resumed. The connection will
very shortly be completed with the
incline from the next level above.
The daily yield Of low grade ore from
the upper levels remains about the
same rs at our last report.
VIRGINIA CONSOLIDATED.
Drift west from new shaft getting
along satisfactorily, and upper levels
yielding rs at our last report. An as
Sessment Of 81 per share was levied OIL
the 9Th inst, delinquent August 10th.
SIERRA NEVADA.
Nothing new to report. Both mine
and mill working at the same regular
old rates, with satisfactory results.
Receipts for June, $4,000.
BEICHER.
Indications still good at the 7S0-toot
level. Nothing new developed In the
ore producing sections of the mine.
ALPHA.
An assessment Of 81 per share was
levied last Wednesday.
