MINING ITEMS.

The Crown Point mine Is now look
ing better than ever before, with more
and richer ore in sight. In fact, the
more the great ore body is prospected
and developed the more extensive 1t is
found to be. 1t Is estimated that be-
tween forty and fifty million dollars
worth Of ore Is now in sight In the
Crown Point and Belcher mines, o n
shutting the richest and best ore body
known of in the world. The cross-eut
Mt the 1900 foot level Of the Crown
Point 10 now in l20 feet, all the way
In rich ore, and the full width Of the
body not attoined yet. The assays at
that level average about $ooo per ton.
When tho two new hosting engines
are placed in working position and all
other arrangements made to corre-
spond, an increased force Of miners
WILL be put to work and GOO tons per
day will be tho regular product OF h
mine. The Belchor Is In n similar
flourishing condition, and being worked
with great energy and efficiency.
The ore body Is found to continue
south to an unknown extent, the main
drift In that direction at the llOO-foot
level being In over $50 feet from the
Crown Point line, and the face OF 1t
still In fine ore. The retimbering OF
the main shaft Is nearly completed to
the surface, and the incline from It's
bottom Is down nearly 200 feet, the
face showing quartz with spots OF ore.
Good ore Is reported to be found at the
l4OO-foot level Of the Savage mine,
south of the shaft. Whether 1t prove
to be Of any extent or not, 1t Is a very
important and encouraging indication
Mt that depth. Three hundred and
th,rty-one tons Of ore were extracted
last week from this mine, Of the aver
age assay value of 1876 81 per ton.
The new strike is said looks vol and
promises to develop into = good sized
body. Six hundred and ninety tons
of ore was extracted from the Hale "
Norcross mine last week. The Gould
IL Curry mine Is yielding little ore at
present. no new bodies being devel-
oped, although a great deal Of pros
pectinS Is being done. The main shaft
is 1900 feet deep, perpendicularly, or
100 feet below the level Of the Com
stock Groupings, being within only
about 200 feet Of the level Of where the
Sutro Tunnel proposes to interSect the
lode. The assessment OF SIS per share
Just levied aggregates $I2.0OO. The
new shaft Of the Ophir is 1850 feet
deep, and further sinking is discontin-
ued at present. Drifting west for the
ledge at the 1l00-foot level is being
vigorously prosecuted with excellent
indications. The new shaft OF tine
Oyerman Company Is down Q 30O
feet, and at the surface a new and very
powerful pumping engine is being put
In position which will be of capacity
10 work 1000 feet In depth. Inc
Caledonia new shaft Is down 500 feet,
and at 600 a drift will be run to the
lead. The prospecting Developments
in the Daney mine are energetically
progressing as usual. The Company
levied an assessment Of Is cents per
share yesterday. In the shaft OF the
Julia mine a streak deposit assaying
Sl7 in gold and $50 in silver is found
lis feet below the surface. The Com
pany are still sinking and ut the depth
ofl,lOO feet will drift for their main
vein.
