MINING SUMMARY.
For ,hs w.el knalas Jaly rs, 1s7a.

siderable sales and fluctuations, as we'll
as no small degree Of excitement, es-
pecially at the Gold Hill end OF the
ledge, owing to the new and import
ant development OF ore found in the
Imperial. None OF the other mines
show any special Developments OF i'm
p~ortance. Stocks not only at this end,
but all along the ledge, are stimulated
by the Imperial development and
close firm, with an advancing ten
dency. The Imperial strike, however,
seems to affect mort strongly the
claims south of it, oven the Yellow
Jacket advancing to-day at quite a
lively rate. Below we give what we
know about the mines.
Imperial-E Empire.
The drift east at the 1500-foot level
shows only clay ard quartz at present,
with no sign Of the east wall. Some
very good assays have been obtatned
at various points In running this drift,
and these points will be more thor
oughly investigated shortly. In Wow
of the good developments found at the
lower level. Last tuesday afternoon
the 1850 or lowest level unexpectedly
ran into ore whichsubsequently opened
out into u very good body. assays from
which run from 800 to $500 to the
TON, gold predominating Mt the rate OF
IS per cent. 1t was struck by the
southeast drift, running across
It somewhat diagonally. The streak
or body shows about nine feet In
width. Of the character we have MEL
toned, and the drift has not passed
through 1t, therefore It's actual width
Is not known. Assays taken from the
face OF the DRIFT this morning averaged
Sill % to the ton. It dips east with
the ledge. About so tons Of orc has
been taken out. which will be raised
aud put into the dump for milling
lext Monday. How far up above that
.evel It extends Is of course q mere mat
ter for conjecture. 1t Is proposed to
sink q winZe IN 1t next week III order
% learn something about Its depth.
Even though 1t should not prove to
NC a. extensive rs 1t promises at pres
emt, it IL a very important and encour-
aging development. IL Is Situated about
lUO feet southeast from the incline,
lear the Bacon line, and Its loca-
lion Is very encouraging for the
Gold Hill Quartz, Eclipse, Confidence
and other small miues lying imme-
lately south Of 1t. 1t even has n
strong influence OH the Yellow Jacket,
Is may be seen by reference to Il
regular stock report to-day. The En-
pire company has levied an assessment
uf 80 centsa share.

The main drift west OH the 1000-foot
level Is In 40o feet and In ledge matter,
showing excellent indications Of good
developments likely to be made In a
very short time. The shaft Is down 90
feet below the l000-foot level aud pro.
crossing well, although there Il q
steady Increase Of water from the bot
tom. The pump Is all that could be
required, and works splendidly, so
that 10 delay of the work need be
feared. At the annual meeting Of the
company held yesterday, the follow
ing Trustees were elected : George w.

Just finished putting in two more
ine 52-inch boilers, sothat now, should
one set get out of order or need clean
ing, 1t can be- done without any stop
plug or delay Of work. The shaft Is
down llO feet below the 1300-foot level,
with the sinking good, though some
what harder tlian ut our last report.
Sinking the winze In the south drift Of
tile lI00.toot level has been discon-
tinued for the present. The north
drift Of this level Is still pushed ahead
with energy, and hopes OF still finding
ore. The work of opening tile 700-foot
level to the point ut which they expect
to DRIFT will be completed IN two or
three days.
Daily yield, 275 tons, from the HOO
and l,Ou0-foot levels. Nothing doing
doing ut the 12OO. neither will there
be till the main incline Is made to con-
nect with the llU0-foot level, which
will be IN about three weeks. The
l.000-foot level Is showing finely, and
the drift south Is In lG0 feet from the
Crown Point line, the face being In
the finest kid Of ORE. 1t will take
100 feet yet to carry it to the main In
cline. The total yield for June was
6,797 tons Of ORE, averaging SIS 43 per
tou, and amounting to $4U7, 772 81.

Daily yield, % tons, from the old
workings. The hosting engines are
being fitted with new ld.iuch cylin-
ders, therefore nothing il. being done
III the main incline at present, the
main DRIFT at the l300.foot level Is
ouing continued north In order to con.
nect with the long winze from the
