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

The sinking of the shaft below the 90
foot level has been stopped. On account
OF the formation of the ground it will be
necessary to timber the shaft before at
tempting to continue sinking, and the
scarcity OF lumber prevents timbering
at present, but as soon as lumber can be
ootained Capt. Hardy informs us he will
push this work ahead. On the 90-foot
level they are drifting east and the ledge
IS improving as they go in that direc-
ton. EE1 ET
SILVER PEAK.-The principle work in
THIS mine is sinking the main shaft. The
ore In the bottom of the shaft is looking
SO we'll that Mr.. Cline hes concluded to
put the full force on this work. There are
now about $50 tons of ore on the dump,
ana about 8 tons per day are being
holsted from the mine. The Condor mill
is working this ore up to IS per cent
The ore ON the dump looks extremely
we'll. -- .Li4 - ~ = .El /. .
JOLLY TRAVELLER. This mine is now
down good depth The last contract
for sinking 100 feet has been finished,
and the ledge shows we'll. At the bot
tom peculiar formation has been found,
and gives evidence OF rich mineral. The
Superintendent is confident that from
the present indications and the dip of
the ledge running into the hill, he will
strike it very rich before long.
CARoLINE.-A contract has been let for
sinking 100 feet, which has now attained
a depth of s. feet At the bottom of
the shaft a fine stratum of ore is making
its appearance, and Capt. Hardy thinks
that by the time the shaft reaches the
100 foot level it will strike the main ledge,
which will prove rich and abundant.
This mine We think bids fair to rank
with the best in the District.
| PIoCHE.-There is not much change to
note in the workings of this mine, the
| only work being done is that of sinking.
Drifting will be commenced in few
days. There are now at II. R. Buffers
assay office about Is 600 ounces fof bull
lion from this mine, which will be
shipped the coming week.
MEADOW VALLEY.-From Mr.. Maynard
we learn that he has full force of men
at work in Nos. 3, and 7, and that he
is driving the work as fast as possible.
The amount of ore hoisted and shipped
Is about the same as in our last report,
their being no ore hoisted except from
Nos.
r ARKANsAs,--There IS not much pro
gress to report IN this mine, as 'the prin-
clpal work now being done is sinking.
This is being pushed ahead as rapidly as
possible. In the bottom of the shaft the
ore Is looking WE'LL Drifting and stop
ing will be commenced ON the third level
soon.
AMADoE TUNNEL.-There is not much
change in this mine since our last report.
The shaft is now down 100 feet from the
surface. In few days drifting will be
commenced on the ledge; then we expect
to see large quantities of ore hoisted
daily.

change in this mine. Col. Lightner saws.
he is shipping the same amount of ore and
bullion MS usual and that everything is

the dump is being preparedf for milling.

T lNcENDIAnY ATrEMPr.-About 0 o'clock
yesterday morning deliberate attempt
at lncendiarism WAS made, in an unoccu-
pied room in the rear and attached to
Daviss Market, on Meadow Valley street.
The smoke was discovered from the
street; and an attache of the market went
to the renr and found in the keyhole a.
hook, which had evidently been used in
the attempt to gain access to the room.
He also found that the. door had been
forced open. In the room was nothing
but table and a door, which leaned
against the inner, wall. The side of the
room against which the door was leaning
[ had been fired, and was ablaze when In a
room was entered The alarm brought
out the Hose Company, and the applisa-
top Qfwater SOON extipguisAed tie kra,

there is no telling what the result might
have been; and it is therefore the duty
OF every one not only to watch for acct
dental fires, but to be on the alert for in
cendlares, as there are doubtless some
OF that detestable class infesting this
place.
