LOCAL MINING REVIE w.
For the week ending September IA.

During the past week nothing OF very
great Importance has transpired as far as
we have heard in the mining interests of
Ely District. One more Phoebe incorpo-
ration has been effected in San Frah-
cisco, under the title OF "Chief East
Extension" and we have every belief
that it will prove itself TO be equal to the
! Chief of the Hi! and other good mines
adjoining. Ely District stocks have ad-
4 vanced some, but tie market does not
4 present as bright an aspect as is desira-
bic; yet wise people predict that exciting
4 times will show themselves within the
coming month relative TO Phoebe mines.
1t would not be strange if such should
happen, as the mills are kept running
night and day.
Within the last week Wells, Fargo x
I Co. have shipped S153, 02 in bullion
I The Raymond & Ely mine, the king
q pin of this district. furnished its regular
4 amount each shipment. The bullion is
not this dark, base-looking metal which
charaeterzes Utah, but has the pure
Il silver appearance, with fineness Of $50
to 9G5. The Meadow Valley Company
Goes not, of course, at present turn ont
bullion in as large quantity as the Il. a.
B E., but it still keeps driving ahead, and
some very favorable discoveries have
n been made recently. Livery other day
Il fills Company ships from twelve to fif-
teen thousand dollars worth of bullion.
n. +. Tarpey has been appointed Super
intendent of the Meadow Valley, vice
capt Day, resigned. We are glad Mr..
Taipey has been SO fortunate, for he is IL
4lnost deserving Young man, who has
81 Served the Company faithfully in other
capacities, and SHOWN himself fully fitted
81 for the position of superintendent
There are many Claims mentioned in
!. this Review which give promise of be-
n coming great mines, from the fact thai
(. they have weli-detued veins in sight,
with ore ass,ying from 500 to 50, 600
p'r ton. Much of this ore wou.d be
taken out We're there sufficient mills to
reduce il.
The Floral Mill and Mining Company,
4 }. c. Clark, Superintendent, and j. b.
Hudgin, Millright, is progressing finely
with the grading and preparations for
u the erection of the mill ut the earliest
possible moment. Yesterday morning
H hlr. Clark left Phoebe for Salt Lake,
Il Tor the purpose OF personally supe,in-
tending the resbifment of the machinery
at that place. The mill viii he n 20.
staml~r, and i: is said the machinery is
as fine rs any ever turned out on the
l'a,liic coast. 1t is from the Ris,ion Iron
Works, San Francisco. The necessary
llmbtr for the mill will soon be OH the
site, which is about half mile from
town, just below the Masonic b1,rvipr
ground. The location is one of the very
hest HAT could have been chosen. As
soon us the lumber arrives the millIirhts
W Ii commence work, and it is confidently
expected to have the mill in running
order by the lst of December. Great
!. then will be the Joy of the poor miners.
!. many of whom have good mines and rich
ores that will bring them money when
n they can get them worked The Floral
Company is fortunate in hnving such an
experienced and efficient millman us NJ.
Clark ut the head of its affairs, and our
miners will find him courteous and up-
right under all circumstances, and a
n liberal gentleman to deal with.

IN CHIEF EAsrERLY EXTENSION. - This
mime was incorporated in San Francisco
81 Ia snort TINE ago. There are &c, 900 shares
dh me mile, 5000 of which were placed
ON lie market to realize working cup
" ha'' ana owing TO the favorable report
NJ gwen OF the mime by Capt. Hardy, who
pears an excellent reputation in San
N francisco, the entire five thousand shares
were taken up in two days-Capt Hardy
oeihP made superintendent. For gen
rrai information, we will give the exact
location of this mine, and the circun,-
stances under which it was made. When
the Chief of the Hill was located, it was
proposed by some of the owners to di.
/ vide from the discovery in this way: The
Il Chnt OF the Hill to take 800 feet west.
sud the Chief Extension to run |. 200 feet
sast from the discovery hole. Their at
.ehtion and general work were first placed
3ph the Chief of the Hill, of which thew
made iiost decided success, and alI Of
them VIII probably come out with a yery
2i,ieat little fortune. The Chief Easterly

same character as the Chief of the Hill.
lhree shifts are being worked, and it is
j believed rich developments will be made
1 within thirty days.
