improvements in the west end of the
mine. Rich ores have been taken ont.

higher figures in the next few DAYS.

some two weeks ago, in the mine, is i'm
proving finely.
lvANHoE.-Th mine keeps constantly
improving and bears very favorable ap.
pearance. The prospecting shaft has
now reached the depth of $50 feet
the hoisting being done with two wind
lasses, one placed at $50 feet from the
surface. The shaft will be sunk rs feet
further, and, from present indications
Will result in developing fine body OF
ore. Samples from the shaft and ore on
the dump compares favorably with the
rich Panaca ores, .assaying $4,000 per
ton. The new shaft on which the hoist
ing works are to be placed, has depth
OF l25 feet, with a contract let to sink
100 Feet more. The machinery has all
been ordered and it is expected that Mt
a very early day it will be ready for
work. Quite large pile of ore is on.the
dump. and the surroundings give prom
Use that the Ivanhoe will make its pres
ence felt and take rank with the leading
mines of the District.
CHrrF OF THE HIIL.-This mine is now
being worked through the old Burke tun-
mel. For tho last few days Mr.. X, B.
Ross, the superintendent. has been busy
laying track and fixing the dump. To
run the car to the month of the tunnel,
620 feet of rail were laid. About 90 tons
OF ore of u very rich character have been
taken ont. Two shifts are being worked.
and Is men employed In few DAYS n
winze will be sunk about three feet from
the turn table. in mn easterly direction
from the main tunnel, on three feet of
ore. Mr.. Ross proposes to put M a
first-rlass blacksmith shop. The lumber
is all on the ground and the erection of
the building will probably commence to-
morrow. The mine looks well through
ont, ana at the present figures it is
good speculation.

lie is one of the pioneers OF Phoebe, and
very deserving man. We are pleased
to see him succeed, Little mention of
this mine has been made heretofore: but
1t, like Mr.. MrLane, deserves great
credit. The parties connected with this
niue are very influential men. and have
placed Mr., Caldwell as Superintendent.
1t is expected that the STOCK will rise to a
good figure before long

present stands at low fiQnre but we
predict that in fonr weeks time from this
date the change will astonish many.
JOLLY TEAvFLrR.-Lookin b tier than
ever before. Fine ore coming in at the
depth of go feet. The mine bears such
n favorable appearance that double
shift will be put on tomorrow. A ver-
teal shaft will be sunk MI the way down,
ana if the ledge should MT show itself in
the shaft they will drift. But it is evi.
dent from the showing now that the
ledge will be struck in the shaft. Two
dollars are readily offered in Phoebe for
the stock: bpt the mine looks 50 well
that there are no scllers-all preferring
to hold.
PAcITrc TUNNEL. - This great enter
prise, which we spoke of in our Inst
issue, has made extensive developments.
The tunnel has reached length of 975
feet, and the prospects are favorable.
Stock in San Francisco is readily taken
up. and Phoebe experts express them
selves in a manner that bespeaks great
expectations for the second tunnel of the
Pacific coast

Drifting at so feet continues, and prom

would turn out something grind, and we
are confident that our prediction will
prove true. ..
ExcELsroR.-This mine was well named
" Excelsior" Mr.. Caldwell. superin-
tendent, reports that he is shipping ore
daily to the Magnet Mill. Fine bodies of
ore have been struck $50 feet from the
surface. Now sinking working shaft 100

feet to cnt the vein. Mr.. Raymond has
a large fortune in store from this mine.
