MININe SUMMARY.


Ferthe Week Ending December 10, Is72.
Pieiea.
Shaft l60 feet deep. The drift north
from 1t for the ledge Is In so feet and
going ahead at a satisfactory rate In
good working ground. The shaft Is
retimbered and put In good working
shape. A new building Is erected
over the shaft, and everything Is In
condition for efficient operations dur
ing the Winter. The location Of the
Pictou Is one Of the most favorable, ad.
joining the Justice on the West, and
In a range with the Overman's new
works. The ledge Is seven feet or
more In width, running In q n%ortherly
and southerly direction, and assaying
we'll, being silver ore, with about the
same proportion Of gold as that Of tho
Belcher. 1t crops out boldly and we'll
defined, and the old incliue, IS feet
deep, north Of the shaft, shows that
the ledge maintains Its character to
that depth. at least. The company
Is In good financial condition, and are
developing q valuable mine.
Mint,
This Is one OF the latest mines In
process of development, and promises
to be one Of considerable Importance
before long. 1t Is situated In tie
ravine below the Tunnel toll-road, and
about half a mile or so east Of the
Savage. The ledge Is very clearly de-
fined. about seven feet wide, and COM
posed Of very lively, solid and prom
ising quartz, which assays very well.
A shaft Is now being sunk a few yards
distant to strike the ledge at the depth
Of 100 feet or MORE. 1t Is now 81 feet
deep, and has passed through several
small feeders OF the main ledge, assay
ing from $500 to $500 to the ton. The
claim Is owned by a company In San
Francisco, and the Trustees are: Henry
l.. King tPresident), S. P. Taylor
rrreasurerl VIM. Harvey, John A.
Russell, VIM. V. Wells Isaac Cook
and Jas. h. S. Latham.
BueLeye.
The prospecting drifts north on the
first, second and third stations are all
In excellent ore. The Wine south
from the first TO the second station has
made the connection, passing all the
way through fine ore. The ore tor
milling Is being extracted from the
north Slopes, on the first and second
levels. 1t Is estimated chat there is ut
the present time ore sufficient In sight
to keep the %company's mill running
day and night, without any further
prospecting for six months. The
Hope mill was started up again last
Tuesday. The company are also rum
ming the Sherman mill on ore from
their mine.
Caledonia.
Tho body Of water tapped BY the
south drifs on the 4OO-foot level Of the
new works, Is drained so as to no
longer interfere with operations In the
mine. The north drift on the 400-foot
level Is cleaned out and repaired to
within a few feet Of the point reached
before the men we're driven out by the
water. The work Of cleaning out and
repairing the south drlft IN the 400-foot
level is being pressed with all the
force Of men capable OF being en-
ployed to advantage in the DRIFT.
Drifting south on the 300-foot level OF
the old works Is progressing as usual.
Consolidated virEiais.
The new hosting works are about
finished. The steam pipes arc being
attached to the boilers, and everything
will soou be in readiness to start the
new machinery whenever they may
reoulrs it. The incline Is down 6S
feet below the 500-foot level In good
sinking ground. But little progress
has been made In the north DRIFT on
the 1857 foot level from the Gould and
Curry shaft since our last report, the
time having been mostly spent in max
ing necessary repairs to the tunnel.
The work In the face Is again resumed
with strong prospects OF softer rock,
and better running ahead.
Hale d Nsrcress.
The main incline Is now sunk below
the l7OO-foot level a distance Of 65
feet. The work Of %excavating for the
tanks, p~ump-bobs and twelfth station
is now being done. The pumps are
also being put in below the 10th level.
The north Wine Is now 100 feet below
the 10th level, and Is heing sunk at the
rate Of three feet per day. The rock
excavated In this winze Is holsted to
the 10th level by a small donkey IN
CINE placed at the top OF the winze.
No development Of Importance hns
been made In this mine during the past
week.
Globe.
The main west drift Is stlll driven
steadily ahead, though bad air at times
interfercs with the work to such an ex-
tent as to make the progress much
slower than 1t would otherwise be. 1t
|, expected that connection will soon
be made between the Globe and the
works Of the Arizona and Utah mine
which will furnish a good supply OF
pure air and greatly facilitate the
work. The ore body In the raise Is
still looking finely aud promises fine
developments.
Chollar-Petosi.
Daily yield 100 tons Of ore, the aver
age assay value OF which IL 81 per
ton. The ore breasts are still holding
IL aud looking moderately fair. The
new patent air compressor Is In place
ready to start up as 500 as the laying
Of the necessary pipe IS finished. The
new root boiler Is In place ready to
get I'D steam whenever H. Is required.
The work of repairing the SHAFT Ia
making slow though STEADY progress.
Julia.
The shaft Is down 1000 feet In good
sinking ground. The main east drift
Il In $50 feet, the face still In ledge
matter. Owing to the breakage OF the
machinery yesterday all work In the
mine ia suspended for the present.
New wheels are being cast to replace
the broken ones, and everything Will
be I'm readiness to again commence
work In the mine In four or five days.
