south end, and the winze sunk below
1t Is now down so feet In the same
good ore all the way, assays averaging
$53. The old upper portion of the
mine still gives forth its regular COLI
tribution to the yield, but this extern
sive and rich deposit Of ore at the low
est level Is the most significant and
valuable point at present. The dumps
are all full Of ore.
HOPE.
Daily yield about 40 tons of SIS ore,
keeping the mills of the company we'll
supplied. Fl. II. Flagg has been APP
pointed President of the company, in
stead Of Superintendent-as we had 1t
In our last report-in place of s. A.
Chaplin, resigned. d. L. Hastings Is
Superintendent. Some objection Is
made to u calling the Hope a slit
tie" mine, therefore we will do so no
more. The claim Is 8 900 feet In length,
with bold outcrop at several points,
equal to a dozen or more of the most
valuable mines ON the Comstock, as
tar as length goes, but the wonderful
disparity In width, as we'll as relative
ore production, Is what induced us to
so recklessly designate the Hope as a
little mine.
SIERRA NEVADA.
During the past week the pan ma
chinery has been overhauled. and a
new n OF the Stephenson pattern put
in. This Is expected to increase the
bullion yield of the ore. Meanwhile
the batteries have been kept at work,
and the pan machinery Wilt all be in
operation again next Monday. The
mine looks the same as at our last
report, except that the quality of the
ore shows improvement.
SACRAMENTO AND MEREDITH.
An improvement Is noticeable IN
both quality and quantity Of ore pro-
duced from the surface workings dur
ing the past week. The mill continues
operating satisfactorily, therefore good
returns may be expected from the next
cleanup. The company have enough
ore in sight to keep their mill steadily
running for the next two years, at
least.
