ARKANSAS is looking WELL. We were
without exageration that the mine looks
well. We were shown through by Mr..
Hutchins, the Foreman. On the 120-ft
level there is magnificent ore; the vein is
well defined and from to feet wide.
The 2OO-foot level shows the same kind
of ore, and although Mr.. Hutchins in
formed us he was only preparing for
work, it was noticeable that he was send |
ing up quite quantity of splendid look
ing ore. There is now about 100 tons OF |
fine ore on the dump. We learn from
Mr.. Phillips, the Superintendent, that
he will commence shipping ore very soon.
and that he is confident that it will mill
from $500 to $500 per ton. This being
the case, and from the fine appearance
| of the mine one can see no reaaon for
parties holding stock in this mine being
at all shaky, for we predict that as soon
as few bars of bullion from this mine
is shipped there will be quite q demand
for the stock.
FLORAL MrLL.-The work on the mill
is rapidly reaching completion. The
frame work is almost complete and Mr..
Clark fears that the failure Of the found
nv in Gan francisco TO have all his
machinery shipped according to con-
tract. it will prevent his being able to
commence crushing as soon as he antici-
pated, but he assures us without some
unforeseen accident preventing he will
have his mill in operation by the 9Th OF
January. They are now placing the bat
terry blocks in position, and will have
everything in readiness by the time the
remainder of the machinery, which is
now on the road, arrives TO put in posi-
ton. There has been several loads
arrived this week and the remainder is
expected shortly. If
AMADoR TUNNEL.-We were given per-
mission by Superintendent Kales to in
spect this mine for ousef, as many
thought the reports given to the public
exaggerated. Major Kales could not ac-
company us, but r. F. Grandy, the Fore
man, went through with us. giving any
, and every information we desired. The
main shaft is down 20 feet below the
, level of the tunnel going down on an in
I cline, yet seldom losing the ledge On
, the 50-foot level they are drifting both
t ways, showing well defined ledge. The
!. ore is very fine, fair samples Of which
a can be seen on the dump. This mine,
= from present prospects, bids fair to have
no superior in the District. The ore, as
n is we'll known, is Of high grade. .
PAcr1o TuNNEL.-This tunnel is in
v some l,075 feet, near which point they
s have cut ledge which proves good as

d of the ore on the dump by Mr.. Nichols
'e and it looks well. The ledge is about

le about IS inches in width. Mr.. Nichols
