LOCAL MINING SUMMARY.
For tho Week Kndins August 8, 1872.

Stocks have been rather q~uiescen
all the week. with few violent auctua
lions to note. closing firm, however
with a good show for an advance
Below we give what we know abou
the mines:
Savage.
Daily yield IFS tons Of ore, wortf
$2S per ton. The incline Is down III
feet and making slow progress, the
rock in the bottom being very tough
and working badly. The work Of pros
pecting the body of ore found In thu
south cross-cut Of the l500-foot level
still goes slowly on, the great hea'
preventing any pressing Of the work,
The qualify OF the ore is steadily In
creasing In assay value. The ma'n
drift south on the l500-foot level IL %
Ing again driven ahead to coaheci
with the winze from the south drift o.
the 1400-foot level, which is down u
feet. As soon as the correction Il
made with the Wine, 1t Is the inten,
ton to continue the south drift and
again connect with the Hale and Nor.
cross for tho purpose OF ventilation, a
on the 1i00-foot level.
Yeiiew Jacket.
Daily yield IS tons, from the old
workings at and above the l0OO-fool
level. The l5OO-foot level from the In
cline Is being opened. aud now that
the water Is getting draiIed out OF the
Crown Point, the lower levels of the
Jacket will soon be IN good way OF be-
Ing advantageously explored, with cI'
cellent prospects Of finding good bod
les Of ore. The annual report Of the
company, for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1872, Is just published, and
we present it to our readers to-day on
the opposite page.
Grown Point.
Daily yield $50 tons. The cave has
been sufficiently secured to allow Of a
full force being employed at the 1900
foot level. At the l300-foot level the
water has been reduced sufficiently to
allow Of working there once more,
When the Stun aud debris Is cleared
out aud some OF the tlmbering fixed
up, ore extraction will be resumed 81
that point. when much bullion will be
the result, there being an endless
amount of the richest kind ole Mt tina,
level. The machinery Of the mine all
works we'll.
Ophir.
The west drift Of the 700.foot level
Is In 80 feet In ledge matter. with nc
material change to note since our last
report, excepting al increase Of five
or six inches Of water, which
considerably rctards the progress OF
the work. The north drift OH the
llOO.foot level Is still driven ahead,
the face in hard porphyry. The new
engine bed Is being placed In position
aud will soon be In good working or
der, when slnklug the shaft Will be re-
sumed.
Daily yield $50 tons Of ore from the
1000 and ll00-toot levels. The drift
west from the HOO has reached the
point Of intersection with the main In
cline from above, aud a raise Is being
made to meet It. Meanwhile the iu-
cline Is being sunk at a satisfactory
rate and the connection Is expected 10
DO made within a week. The main
drift east FROM the incline, at the l0o0-
foot level, Is In l32 feet andiAnow IN
promising ledgematter.
ksss..k-
Daily yield 50 toHs, from tho old
workings about the nth and sixth
lcvels. Ina water being about draiued
from. tho I3O0.foot level, the drift at
that point will be started again next
week. Only about ~ feet Is lacking to
make the connection between the Vel
low Jacket aud the Crown Point por-
lions Of the DRIFT, and when that ID
completed it will give q splendid cir.
culation Of air, which IS much needed
at present.
Choliar.PotssI.
Daily yield $50 tons Of ore worth
$37 per ton. There has been a de-
cided improvement In the quality OF
ore In the various breasts during the
week. Repairing Of the shaft Is CON-
pIctrd to tho S0O.foot level and the
new engine and pump Is fast approach
lug completion. Everything Is work
iuS finely, aud all will soon BIZ III
readiness, to resume prospecting OH the
lower levels.
sierra Nevada,
Daily yield IS tons OF ore that pays
u good profit for working. All the ore
breasts are looking aud yielding we'll,
showing Improvement. The winze
from the west drift Of the upper level
il down 80 feet In good ore. The west
DRIFT from tho l0O.ioot raise In the
lower tunnel is IN IS feet and will
500 tap the ore body found In the
winze from the upper level when tlne
developments may be looked TOR.
ImperiaI.Empire.
The main southeast drift at the 1850,
foot level Is started ahead again. and
the orc body shows II feet In width
No increase of water rs yet. The sta
ton for the l750.foot level Is now be-
Ing opened from the Incline, and Il
DRIFT to intersect the new ore body IN
the level above Is to be started forth
with.
Buckcye.
The prospects Of this mine arc on
the improve. The ore slopes south o.
the incline are turning out better and
showing heavier and richer deposits a;
further developed. The incline Is now
In 1928 feet and the bottom Is In the
west wall.
Raltiinore.
New shaft down l55 feet. The
water is not increasing, but pumps are
to be put In next week In order to &c,
rid Of what water does come IN with
greater facility, as well rs TO provide
for an Increase.
KnicLerbecxer.
New shaft now down SO feet below
the 400-foot station, and water decreas'
Ing. This station !, to be opened nexI
week In order to give the mine n thor
