e0remeiy well, 1t is proposed to extend
the winze % feet deeper, then sink Oh
the mann shaft to corresponding deptl
and connect the two.
CARoLINE,-This is an old location
having been taken up in 1868 by Mr.
John Atkinson. The indications being
extremely good on the surface, consider
able work was done, showing a 4 foot
ledge, from which assays have been taker
that have gwen an average of $120 pei
ton: The prospect being good it was
desired to incorporate, and Capt. Hardy,
an expert In mining and the superinten.
oent OF some OF our prominent mines,
was SOLICITED to lend his assistance, t.
which he consented and formed an in.
oorporated company in San Francisco,
with paid up working capital of $l2,.
ooo: After completing these necessary
prellminarles. Capt. Hardy has gone to
work In right good earnest and has let q
contract to sink shaft 100 feet. The
mine Is situate in Panaca Flat, about
800 feet s. 4. from the Lightner shaft.
From its position and the prospects al
ready obtained there is every reason to
believe that it will he most successful
enterprise.
MEADOW VALLEY. The yield of bullion
from this mine for October will be fully
Sll5.0O0. 1t is confidently expected
that the product of the present month
will fully reach. if it does not exceed
$4,000 The production of ore for
the past month was nearly 1000 tons,
Notwithstanding the drawbacks in alter
ing machinery, dead work, etc. A full
complement of men is now steadily EN-
ployed in Nos. 3 and 7, and the pro-
duct of ere for this month will not fall
short of l 800 tons. The condition of
the mine justifies the most saneuine ex.
pectations of the continued payment of
dividends in the future. In Shaft No
8 the workings are beng most vigorously
prosecuted, and the results past and
prospective are most encouraging. In No
work has been resumed in the west
erly drift on the 4th level, and in a few
days sinking will be commenced on the
same incline which is now TAO feet in
depth.
RAYMOND AND ELY.-The shipments of
bullion from this mine for the month of
october reach the immense sum of S3i2,-
ooo. This will be most gratifying news
to the shareholders of THIS magnl ficent
mining property, and also to the citizens
OF Phoebe, the prosperity Of whom de-
ponds so entirely upon the continued
productiveness Of the mines. The con-
dltlon OF the mine is itself unchanged
from our last report, and the product Of
ore and bullion continue at the same rate
as heretofore.
MAzEpPA.-The shaft is now 90 feet in
depth aud has cut several streaks of fine
ore. The ledge is at present somewhat
broken and not very well defined, but
nom the increasing number of strata Of
rich ore that are frequently exposed. it
Is believed that the vein will shortly be
opened where. it is settled and well de-
fined. Assays have been made from the
s'reaks referred to which give results as
high as $3.50 per ton. The machinery
for the hosting works has been ordered
and will shortly be on the way hither.\
1vANHoE.-The new hoisting works,
for this mine are expected to arrive in a
few days. The working shaft is down
300 feet. The ledge at the bottom is
two feet wide showing high grade of
soft decomposed ore The old shaft is
$40 feet deep, and the ledge in that nor-
ton of the mine is fully three feet in
width. From all that we can learn we
think the Ivanhoe will soon take posi-
ton among our prominent mines.
MARroN.-The drift on the line of the
ledge is now 100 feet in length. The
ledge shows all the way and has i'm.
proved from the start. In the face of the
drift it now looks very well, revealing
good strong ledge, from which ASSAYS
have been made giving large figures.
The prospects of this mine must now be
considered rs quite encouraging.
CHIEF EAST EXTENSION.
on this mine are proceeding quite viger-
ously. Three shifts of men are EN-
ployed under the careful supervision of
Mr. Hardy, the Superintendent, and Mr..
Il. Wright, the Foreman. The winze
being sunk in the 90-foot level is 40 feet
in depth. The ledge is about the same
IN appearance as when last reported on,
and In all respects shows well, with
clearly defined walls.
PAGE AND PANApA.-In the 360-foot
level, which is in 1888 feet the face shows
sulphurets of iron and the indications
are considered good for speedily cutting
vein of ore. The shaft has reached a
depth of 463 feet The ledge near the
bottom is from . to 3 feet in width and
carries some ore from which fair ASSAYS
have been had.
ALPs.-The shaft is now 1874 feet deep.
AT this point a station has been opened
and a drift will be commenced on Mon
day. 1t is expected to reach the ledge
in about 80 days. The work of explor-
ing this mine is going along very .teadi-
~ under the careful superintendent of
Mr.. Dayton. The hosting machinery
works extremely well and smoothly.
PIocHE.-During the past week, sink
ing has been commenced on the ledge
below the fifth level. In other respects
the mine presents the same appearance
as described in our last report. Ore is
being shipped 10 the Magnet mills, which
are steadily engaged in reducing it.
Mr.. Nelson, the Superintendent, is ex-
erting himself greatly in developing the
mine with due regard to economy and
future working.
HUM AND HUNT.-Mr. T. r. Butler,
Assayer, got ready for shipment seven
bars belonging to this company, valued at
Ss, 269.63: This speaks well for the
