MEADOW ALEY.-Thia minsisstill
producing considerable silver. and the
manner In which the entire mine Is
worked, shows that the Superintendent
Capt. Day, Is a man of immense per-
severance. He fsels confident that he
will be able to astonish the world with
large quantities of fine bullion ere
long. Many Of our readers probably
have no idea of the real depth and the
general wording o the mine. No. &.
which at present produces the best ore
in quality aud quantity, has a shat 630.
feet deep, making The 9Th station. All
the slopes look we'll, and men are en-
ployed sinking night and day. No. Z
has an incline shaft Of over 725 feet.
At this depth q new station has been
made and designated as the 7th. Fine
bodies Of ore have been found, at this
depth. Tho Idea that ore would ever
be found in Phoebe 725 feet has been
ridlculsd by many so. called educated
miners within the last two years, but
No. Z has probably changed the minds
of many by this time.
8 PtocHE MINE.-Large wagons can
be seen loading ore daily from the
dump and transporting the same to
the Chicago mill. which averages 5000
to the ton pulp assay. All through
the mine the slopes. drifts, etc., are
looking finely. At the I'd station the
drifts are being extended, and at pres
emit q ledge 4feet In width, fully de-
fined, presents itself with one foot Of
first class pay ore. At the bottom Of
the shaft $50 feet a drift has been run
l25 feet and $50 feet more will be
driven which will cut the vein at 625
feet from the surface. IL Is expected
from tho amount Of ore being milled
and the quantity that will. be taken
out, that an immense dividend will be
paid ere long to holders of stock In
this mine.
RAYMOND & ELY.-This mine still
holds the palm rs the greatest silver
producer In Ely District. On Thurs
day last the vein was connected with
at tho depth of 1923 feet, showing as fine
a body of ore as that which presented
itself at 223 feet. Col. Lightner, the
Superintendent, states that within the
coming week he will be able to supply
the ore In immense quantities from the
323 foot strike. At present the mine.

BowERY MINB.-Within the last two
weeks 10 bars Of bullion have been
shipped, varying in flneness from 900
to $50, and the present pulp assay at
the mill averages $3.50 to the ton.
Since the mill started the working has
been n perfect success, yielding q large

ALPS MINE.-A vertical shaft is be-
Ing sunk about 100 feet east Of the
main shaft to strike the ledge at the
depth Of 400 feet. The work is being
pushed vigorously and at the proper
depth holsting works will be placed oil
the mine to facilitate working. Some
800 tons of ore are now at the mill and
parties holding Alps stock In this dis
