Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1872-12-01

Our review this week embodies notices
of the principal mines of the district,
besides giving attention to others not
heretofore noticed. Everything con-
nected with the mining interest wears a
cheerful aspect, and all are stimulated by
the anticipations of the future. The
bullion shipped last week was below the
average-being S77,573 2S.
WASHINGTON AND CREoLE.-The con-
tract for sinking the shaft to the $40
foot level will be completed on Monday
next. A new station will then be opened,
from which point drifting on the ledge
both east and west will be commenced.
From the favorable Indications the Su-
perintendent confidently expects favora-
BILE results on this level The new ma
chinery, after much trouble and expense,
is now working well. Blacksmith and
carpenter shops are now in course of
erection. and will be completed as rapid
ly as lumber can be obtained. Other
buildings of the company are approach
Ing completion. The various drifts and
Slopes are being vigorously worked and
ore is taken out rapidly. large guam
tity of ore is now ON the dump. Ship
| ping of ore will be commenced in few
days.
FLORAL MILL.-Ths mill is rapidly
| reaching completion. The entire mill is
now under cover, so should bad weather
set in no difficulty will be experienced in
finishing the work. The battery blocks
are now in position, we gave them our
personal inspection yesterday, and must
say that in our opinion they cannot be
| surpassed on the coast In fact the
whole structure is a credit to MIR. Hudg-
| ins, the mill wright, under whose super
| vision it has been erected, and we think
that when completed this will be the
model mill in the district. Our friend
Jake Clarke. the Superintendent, is con-
tident he will have the mill running bv
the 9TH of january. ..
PIoCHE PBENIx. The new hosting
works are nearly completed, and Capt.
Hardy tells us that in ten days after the
arrival of the remainder of the machin-
cry, (Which is expected dnily,) he will
have it in complete working order. The
| main shaft in this location is down $50
| feet. In the old works the shaft and
| incline are down 400 feet. The ledge
| for some time past has been found in
| quartzite and has been improving in
! quality of ore all the while. The ore
| now being taken ont assays from $500
| to $500 per ton. The ledge is 3 feet
wide, and We think from present appear.
ances that this will prove a good and
paying property.
AMERICAN FLAa.-Work is progressing
| ninety In this mine. The main shaft is
down 400 feet and contract will be LIT
Tomorrow for sinking 100 feet further
also for drifting on the 400 foot level
| both east and west. This proves to us
that Mr.. Fleming, the new Superlntend-
ent, intends proving himself master of
the situation. There is fine lot of ore
on the dump, and in very short time
there will be an increase of the daily
product of ore. From the class of ore
now taken from the lower level there ia
no doubt that when the 500 foot level is
reached, the ore will prove equally as
rich as the Raymond & Ely.
