Ing rock In bottom. The east drift at
the 160-foot level, shows good ledge
matter about 8 feet in width. with pay
streak Of from 2 to ~ feet. A new
engine, similar to that In use at the
Lightner shaft OF the Raymond & Ely
Company, has been ordered from San
Francisco, and Is now on their way for
this mine. Until 1t arrives. the Super
intendent deems 1t tho better plan to
sink the shaft and prospect the mine,
although they have now plenty OF ore
In sight. When the shaft has attained
a depth Of 800 feet a new station will
be opened and n drift will be run Tie
mine Is well opened, has plenty Of
good pay ore In sight, and has been
we'll worked throughout.
WASHINGTON & CREoLE.-Work IL
being systematically conducted In this
mine under the superintendence OF Mr..
Charles Beckwlth, we'll and favorably
known In Virginia City and elsewhere
throughout the State as a thorough and
practical man In mining matters. Tho
shaft Is down n depth Of 400 feet and
still sinking. In running a drift on
the 334-foot level west, they passed
through a body Of ore 20 feet In length,
and In running east on the same level
another body Of ore was found. The
ore In each drift Is Of a similar charac-
ter, aud will mill about 1925 per ton.
At a depth Of 433 feet a new drift will
be started and raises for air will be
made as the shaft Is carried down. At
present, raising about four tons Of ore
per day.
RAYMOND g ELY.-The mine Is pro-
ducing Its average quantity and quail
" Of ore faster than the teams can
haul 1t away. The 323-ioot level has
been connected with the shaft and track
laid In 1t for over 300 feet In length.
The entire body, oyer450 feet in length
by 100 feet high under the 223.ioot
level, Is rs yet untouched, there being
over a months supply left above It.
The WINES, started from the town
level, all show the same ore as above.
The receipts of the mills for the month
of April will be about 1920, 900, ensur-
Ing to the stakeholder another 81 diyi-
dend and surplus Oh tho 10th May.
PIocuR.-rhis mino Is at present ex-
tracing over 10 tons Of ore per day,
which averages 5000 per ton at mill.
During the last twelve days previous
to the 24th instant, $25, 000 was shipped
as the run from the mill during that
time. The ore Is being worked at the
Chicago mill. The slopes on the fourth
level have improved very much within
the ten days, all the drifts are being
pushed ahead, and prospecting Is go
Ing vigorously IN throughout the mine.
Never, since the incorporation OF this
company, has the mine looked better
than 1t does now.
MEADOW VAIhEY.-Shlpping usual
quantity Of orc to mill. No new devel-
opments to report since our last review.
Sinking Of the shaft OH Nos. Z and 3
and at the Summit Is being pushed
steadily forward. The engine and
boilers on the Summit shaft are In place
but work Is greatly retarded OH account
ofthe difficulty In obtaining lumber.
WARD BsKcHER.-Shaft now down
$40 feet, and still sinking OIL strike
mentioned In our last. Have three
small strcaks of ore In bottom which
show signs Of widening. Raising some
ore to surface, but work Is necessarily
slow on account of running but one
shaft and having yet to use windlass.
ALrs.-Raising no ore at present.
Work OH main working shaft going ra-
pidly ahead, and a depth of G5 feet Inns
been attained. 1t Is the intention of
the superintendent to sink 200 feet be-
fore running a drift.
BowERY. : At present prospecting
and drifting for ledge. Shaft now
down 200 feet. About 81 tons of orc on
dump. Since the working Of ore from
this minc has commenced, about 1884,
900 have been shipped.
