oc,I MINING REVIEW.
Far the Week ending October ., 1s7S

,,;res our review this week is not SO
complete as we hope to make it in future
In Phoebe every branch of business Is SO
completely dependent on the prosperity
of the mines, that we believe information
concerning their prospects and present
condition will always be acceptable and
shall endeavor to supply it.
The amount of bullion for the week is
S5OOS4.16. ..-
CHEF OF THE HnL.-Mr. Wright, the
c,,ror;ntendent, is intelligently and
staad;lv prosecuting the development OF
th;s nine. About ten tons of high grade
ara are being raised daily from the sec
ond and third levels. On the third level
the west drift is being pushed, also Two
w;nzes which are being sunk at dis
lance of 100 and 200 feet from the main
incline. Wine No. is down ~ feet
and is in ore from top to bottom. The
quality of the ore is superior, assaylng
5000 per ton. Wine No. is down
abont IL feet and presents the same char
acteristics as No. l. 1t is intended to sink
wines at each 100 feet of the third level,
which will be connected below, and the
intervening vein matter stopped out. The
Magnet mill is running steadily on the
ore from this mine, which is yielding
more favorable returns than was expect
ed though sanguine anticipations OF
large Weld were INDUCED. The general
prospects of the mine are very bright
especially during the past month. Heavy
preliminary expenses were necessarily
incurred, which will not be again re-
ouired, SO that the net returns may be
expected to be sensibly increased.
MEADOW vALLEY.-Mr. Maynard, the
new Superintendent of this company, is
conducting operations most vigorously,
vet with the cautious care so necessary
for the successful conduct of the impor-
tant interests entrusted to his charge.
The mine is looking well and the new
developments are well calculated to sus-
tain the confidence of shareholders in the
permanence and value of their property.
. The mill is kept steadily running with
an abundant supply of ore. while care is
/. taken to develop new sources from which
to continue the supply. The works at
the several shafts are being urged for
ward and drifts are being run connecting
the several shafts. The exploration of
that portion of the mine contiguous to
the Raymond Il Ely continues to be graf
living and induces the belief that the
rich body of ore struck in the Lightner
Shaft may probably extend into the
Meadow Valley ground. If this should
prove to be the case the remarkable rich
ness of this chimney will soon have a
marked effect upon the companys divi-
dends.
WASHINGTON AND CREoLE.-New hoist
ing works have Just been completed on
this mine. The machinery is first class
and has been put into position in most
creditable manner. There are two tubu-
lar boilers. The engine is link motion
with twelve inch cylender by twenty-foui
inch stroke, and is rated at 30 horse pow
er. The interior of the works is roomy
and extremely well arranged as regards
convenience for working the whole be
ing enclosed by substantial building
65x36. The engine, &C., was set up by
Mr.. Salisbury and the carpenter work ex
ecuted under the supervision OF Mr.
Trench, and is good evidence of thu
mechanical skill of those gentlemen
The incline is now 500 feet deep and il
Il being we'll timbered, four or five ton
Il of good ore being raised daily. =. G
< Hyman, the Superintendent, is unre
" hitting in his care and is in all respect
attending to the interests of the compa
nv in manner worthy of all praise.
PIocHE PoENIx.-This company j
sinking vertical shaft with which it ]
expected to strike their rein in some
thing over 400 feet from the surface
This will be large shaft, in two CON
partments, heavily timbered and con
plete in all respects. Over it will b
placed the new hoisting works, the ms
chinery for which will reach here abor
the last of this month. Work on the il
cline is also progressing and has no
reached depth of $50 feet. This
sunk on the ledge, which yields SON
very rich ore. The Superintendent, NJ
d. Hardy, who furnished us these pa
ticulars, says that the vertical shaft WI
commenced on the 9Th of September an
has now attained depth of IS fee
which shows that he knows how to exp
dite matters and to work to the best a.
vantage.

seem to be quite fiattering. Throu

M lntendent, we are favored with the 4
lowing information: The incline is 3
