Spring Mountain, the mouth being about |
500 feet from the mouth of Spring Noun |
tain Tunnel. The location claims 5000 |
feet; but was intended particularly 10
cut the Sunburst and Magma Charta
lodges. A contract was let to tap the
Sunburst; and that ledge was tapped on
Wednesday last. The length of the tun-
mel is now 100 feet. The Sunburst and
Magma Charta are parellel to. and lie be-
tween the Sunbeam and Peavine; both
known to the public as lodges carving
high-grade ore. They are about $50 feet
from the former, and $50 feet from the
latter. The owners now intend to con-
solidate and incorporate, and are SAN
guine that they have valuable piece of
property.
CHIEF OF THE HILL MINE-We learn
that all question of title to the Chief of
the Hill mine, as claimed by the Eureka
Tunnel, has been settled, and the right
of way through the tunnel has been
granted by its owners to the Chief of the
Hill Mining Company. and that under
the arrangement Mr.. VIM. n. Raymond
becomes an owner in the Chief. Under
this settlement of affairs the Chief of the
Hill mine has become rapidly what may
be called we'll developed mine. Above
the level of the tunnel, through which
the mine will be worked Immediately,
they have ore opened to the height of
about 900 feet and 240 long. Mr.. Hardy
having sent down his resignation, to take
effect upon the consummation of this
tant trusts to perform requiring his at
r. n La Il
the Phoebe, was appointed Snperin-
tendent. The average width of the vein
as developed is over two feet, which.
when taking into consideration the
length of the levels and hight of backs,
the calculation of thirteen cubic feet to
the ton gives the estimated quantity of
ore in sight ready for Stopping ut ,S.123
tons. The average assay is about $50
per ton. making total gross value of
| $1,21S,450.
RAYMOND & ELY.-This mine still
| proves itself to be the great mine of the
| Pacific Coast. The last months ship
ment was 1871, 900, which includes SO
bars that came into the Office of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S last evening. valued at
$60,0 the product of three days

money ever turned ont by any one mine
in that short space of time in this State
or in any other silver.bearing country
throughout the United States. The Ray
mond & Ely turned out an average of
Sl2 900 per day for the month, and in
the last three days $4,000 per day. Col.
Lightner csn well be proud of being the
Superintendent of such great mine, and
the company should feel that through
the discovery of the Lightner shaft,
Pioche has rsen to n position that far
exceeds anything yet chronicled. The
immense deposit uncovered in this mine
has had a tendency to help all in both
mining AMI mercantile pursuits here, aud
the cry throughout the coast is nothing
bat Phoebe. 1t has spoken for itself, and
Virginia stands aghast.
MARION MlNs.-This mine has not
been brought before the public for some
time, and as number have inquired of
oar local, relative to its prospects, and
having yesterday taken full view, we re-
port rs follows: Tho mine is situated
just above the Sprin, Mound shaft, and
within abont coo or 500 feet from the
American Flag mine. At the depth Of
As feet drift is being run in a westerly
direction with good Indications of some
thing rich being strucl; ere long. The
Marion is very favorable mine. On thu
dump there are 10 tons of frst-class ore
and the mine ut different points shows
4 fine ledge, and ASSAYS of the ore average
1926 per ton. Night and day shifts are
baiI g run constantly and we are coniden
that large and rich body will presen

Monday or Tuesday Of the coming week
Thompson Campbell, the Superinten

proper shape for working. At the dept

the platform taken out and the shat
cribbed. The mine will be worked il
a miner-like manner, and the 16-horse ar
. paratus will bring to the top the wealt
