Yesterday. The ore, like that Of the
level above, is of very fine quality,
although very hard indeed, all having

from the incline. The incline Is not
being sunk deeper at present. The vein
at this lower level stands straighter, OF
more perpendicular than In three levels

This mine Is situated In Lower Gold

for 1t arc being made at the Nevada
Foundry. New and excellent noist-

Utah.
This old mine at the north end Of the
Comstock Is being fast brought Into
good working trim. The new shaft,
commenced 600 feet east Of the old
works In the center Of the mine, Is be-
ing sunk at q satisfactory rate, a new
engine, boilers, and. other machinery
are ON the ground, and the requisite

ings Is from 90 to 80 feet wide, and as
about $l7 to the ton. The new
shaft Is expected to strike the ledge on
its eastern dip ut the depth Of 6O0 feet,
when it Will be drifted into and well
prospected.
Consolidated yirgtnin.
Some favorable looking quartz,
showing considerable metal is found in
prospecting at the 600-foot level, espe-
cially In the cross-cuts from tho north
drift, also In the raise above the north
drift, ut which point connection Is
made with a drift from the Ophir, CIV
ing good circulation Of air. A car
track is being laid In the main DRIFT,
preparatory to taking out ore from tho
old Dick Sides quarter of the mine.
Drifting Is also being steadily prose
cuted at the 1l60-foot level, from the
Gould 6 Curry, with no ore as yet.
The management, however, are rather
~reticent as to actual developments In
any part Of the mine.
Mci1eaus.
Active operations will be commenced
upon the ground Of this recognized
company, and milling ore produced
from both the tunnel and shaft. The
tunnel Is 900 feet long, penetrating %
foot vein, and the shaft Is 100 feet deep,
intersecting a back ledge over 80 feet
wide and containing spots Of very rich
ore. A portion of the stock will be
placed In the Board next Monday, and
il bids fair to become \ favorlte, from
actual merit alone. Tho McMeans
mine will give a good bullion account
of itself very shortly.
Occidental.
Under the new proprietorship OF
Fair, Mackay, and others, this once
famous mine Is being brought once
more into deserved notice. Work was
resumed last week In the lower tunnel,
which Is being driven further north,
toward the boundary line. This tunnel
Is In the west wall, but q turn Is being
made toward the east, making 1t cut
directly Into the vein itself, which will
be followed. Some good ore Is thus
already being taken out. The mill OF
the company is at present being run on
Savage ore.
Now York Consolidated.
This mine Is situated In Lower Gold
Hill, on the east side of the canyon,
near the Petaluma mill. The title Is
n GOOD one, as we'll Us location, and
under the superintendent of Mr.. n.
K. Lamson the mine Is being actively
developed. The North Ophir hoisting
works have been purchased, removed
thither, r~e-erected and put to work.
The shaft is freed Of water, and DRIFT
ing In the ledge commenced with most
excellent prospects.
Crewn PsInt.
Daily yield 43O tons. Tne ore breasts
are all looking and yielding splendid.
", and IN immense amount of bullion
Is being produced. There is as yet no
definite knowledge Of the depth Of the
great deposit, Its extent In that dlrec-
zion not being found. It Is simply
known to be more extensive and richer
az greater depth Is attaiued. and bids
fair 20 embrace the full extent OF the
company's ground. The principal orc
simply Is from the HOO and l2OO-iool
levels.
Belchor.
Daily yield 300 tons, from the llOo-
foot level. The south drift is In 66s
feet from the Crown Point line, the
latter portion being In porphyry. AT
this point a turn il being made to the
west to make n connection with the
incline being sunk from the upper
mine. This incline Is already down
33O feet below the S50.foot level.
Owing to delay In furnishing material
the hoIsting works will not be COM
pleted under three or four weeks.
Buckeye.
Daily yield about 40 tons OF good
paying gold ore. Drifting both north
and south Is being energctically car
ried forward in order to prospect the
mine aud open out new ore bodies, and
a contract will shortly be let to sink
the main incline deeper.- The mine Is
looking and yielding we'll, keeping
both the Hope and Seweli mills run
ming. An average assay Of the whole
mine, a few days since, gave $50 " to
the ton.
