Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1870-04-30

last Monday on ore from the mine, and
is now reducing at the regular rate of
twenty-five tons per day. The lone
mill, also belonging to this company,
reduces ten tons per day, making In
all thirty-fiye tons daily. The lower
level Of this mine is opening out well
and looking better than usual. The at
fairs of the company are in a crafty
i!gly prosperous state.
OCCIDENTAL.
The lower tunnel is still very active
ly being driven ahead, the principal
object at present being to effect the
connection with the winze from the
old mine above. This will take about
six weeks yet, and meanwhile little
attention is paid to prosecuting. rs the
supply of air Is limited. aud blasting
has to be avoided as much as possible,
except where it Is absolutely required
In the face Of the main drift. What
prosecuting has been done develops
the streak Of pay ore to be 81 feet in
width. and how much wider Is not as
certained. The tunnel 10 now l,oSO
feet in length, and LOO feet further
will take it to the north line Of the
mine. The company have advertised
for proposals to build the new mill,
and calculate to have the same built
and running on ore from their mine
inside Of three months.
oPHIR.
Considerable ore-Say 30 tons daily
is being extracted from the old upper
mine through the south shaft. The
north shaft yields no ore As yet. 1t is
over 200 feet deep, and ut the lOO-foot
level the drift west is in about so feet,
from the shaft, the face being in prom
ising looking vein matter, with nc ore
to speak Of yet. The 200Efoot station
is being opened. At the 700-foot level
of the new shaft the drifts are being
actively driven ahead toward the
ledge, which in the northwest drift
cannot be more than 20 or 80 feet dis
tant. Some little trouble with the
pumps was experienced during the
past few days, but the water was kept
down easily with the bailing tanks.
and all is right in that respect now.
GOULD & CURRY.
No material change since our last
report. Daily yield 4 little over 30
tons ; assays averaging $52 per ton.
The Potosi section continues looking
and promising.well, and the same may
be said of the other sections. Nothing
good developed yet at the 9TH or low
est level. The proposition to Increase
the number of shares in this mine from
four to twenty shares TO tie foot, appa-
rently meets with little or nc favor, as
at the meeting Of the stockholders
called OH the 18th instant, ut San Fran
cisco, there was not q quorum present,
therefore no action could be taken In
the matter.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Drifting west ut the new l.2OO-foot
station is commenced. Sinking the
shaft deeper progresses well, consider
ing the hard nature of the rock. The
southwest drift in the Holmes ground
develops NJ ore as yet, although APP
pearances are very favorable. The
small vein at the ], l00-foot level, near
the Alpha line, still continues yielding
a little good ore, and the old upperS
workings Of the Imperial give a daily
yield of about 40 tons per day of fair
grade ore.
BELCnER.
The promising ore streak in the 800
foot level south of the shaft has not
turned out to be rs good Us anticipated.
1t is nov proposed to raise upon it and
see what it looks like in that direction,
ut the same time elfecting 4 much
needed air connection with the lower
level above. Some very good assays
We're obtained from this ore streak;
quality was good enough but quantity
was lacking. The upper levels still
continue yielding some 50 tons Of $50
ore daily.
CHoLLAR-POTosI.
Daily Weld 100 tons. all from the
upper levels; average assays, about
1913 per ton. The orc-producing sec
lions are looking extraordinary well,
with large amounts Of excellent ore in
especially in the old Blue Wing
The dumps are all full n
the mills we'll supplied. The lower
levels show nothing.
TERRI NEVADA.
Assays during the past week indicate
All improvement in the ore passing
through the mill, and consequently at
the clean up tomorrow better results
than usual are anticipated. The east
deposit still constitutes the main source
Of supply, and bids fair never to give
out.
SACRAMENTO 4 MEREDlTH.
The mill is fast approaching COM
pletion, and will very shortly be ready
to commence reducing some of the ex-
cellent ore accumulated upon the dump
of the mine. Work on both mill and
mine is being very energetically pro-
cuted.
CROWN POINT.
Incline 81 feet below the l,OOO-foot
station Of the shaft. The rock contin-
uing favorable, good progress is made.
Upper levels yielding about 20 tons
per day Of low-grade ore.
KENTUCK.
No new ore bodies developed. What
little ore is taken out is worked at the
Sunderland and Pioneer mills.
