During the past week operations ut
the mine have been carried on very
actively and effectively. It is impossi-
BILE to estimate the amount Of ore now
exposed rs ready for working as though
it were in the dump, but there is GER
tainly sufficient to keep the mill run
ming for many months 10 come. 1t
consists principally In 4 huge gravel
deposit, mixed with quartz boul-
ders, which OF being broken ara found
to be rich in gold. ~ fact the entire
deposit is free gold ore, with not
enough silver in it to be worth bother
ing with; therefore 1t Is worked for
the gold alone. The mill operates
we'll, and is most economically and
ably managed, Is well rs the mine.
A very commendable feature is the
system of blanket sluices for saving the
sulphurets and valuable matter from
tailings of the mill also the settling
tanks, where the water from the bat
teries is settled, pumped back and used
over again-a very decidedly economi-
cal rs we'll rs efficient idea.

Hall, Gold Hill, this evening, Dunphy
& Co.'S exhibition of moving figures,
together with other choice attractions,

ing exhibition. and worth ut least
double the price of admission. Those

natural are their doings and perform
anceS, their voices being supplied by
the excellent ventriloquiSm Of Mr..
Cummings. Jake Hagar, champion
clog and song dancer, will also make
his first appearance here. Admission

fun. .
VIRGINIA. CONSOLIDATED.
A considerable amount of high grade
ore is yielded from the upper mine,
through the old Sides tunnel, which
cuts the lead about 80 feet beneath the
surface or groupings. The best ore
comes from above the level of the tuh-
mel, but ut that level there is also i
vast amount of low grade ore which
will be made Il source of future profit
to the company, now that the price Of
milling and transportation Is :" much
reduced from the rates of former times.
CONFIDENCE.
Much surface ore has been shipped
from this mine to mills OH Carson
river since the completion of the rail-
road, but the supply falling oil. with
no new developments realized in pros
pecting, it was thought advisable to
shut down last Wednesday.
SIERRA NEVADA.
The surface gravel deposits show
rather an Improvement lately, both
in quality and quantity. The east
body looks especially well. The new
mill Is running regularly and well,
and the bullion product is consequently
satisfactory.
BEI.CIIER.
The l52-foot level improves in drift
ing north, aud also gives increased
yield. Otherwise than this there is no
particular change to note. The cross
cut east ut the 730-foot level, has struck
an increase of water, but develops no
ore as yet.
CALEDONIA.
This mine continues looking finely,
and improving. Daily yield, 40 tons.
from the 2O0-foot level. The mine is
looking and promising well, with
plenty of ore in sight. 4 winZe is
being sunk in good ore below the 200
foot level.
HOPE.
About IS tons of low grade ore are
daily extracted from the upper level,
supplying the Atlantic mill. The
lower levels yield from 30 to 80 tons
Of $50 ore per day, keeping both mills
belonging to the company steadily
running.
The pump-rod being repaired. anu
the machinery all In good working
order, the water is again all out Of the
new shaft, and work is resumed in the
drifts. Nothing new in the up
per mine.

Daily yield 10 tons low grade ore,
from the upper levels. No new derel-
opmentS to report.
AvAGE
Nothing new. The annual meeting
of the company will take place July
2lst.
