mine are in a very satisfactory condition.
Two hundred tons of ore have been sent
to the American Flag Mill and 800 tons
are now on the dump ready for ship
ment. The product of bullion is fully
equal to the highest estimates. At the
mine new shaft is being sunk and is
Az feet deep from the level of the tunnel.
The ledge shows all the way down 2H
feet in width with an ore streak of about
10 inches at the bottom. The upper
slopes are open for about 200 feet and
show well. A winze has been sunk 1913
feet from the turntable, from which
drifting and stopping has been COM
menced. Here the ore shows about two
feet in width, is rich and improving as
depth is attained. One hundred feet
south of the turntable small ledge was
cut through last spring, and at that time
but very little was thought of it. A short
time ago drifting was commenced.
Twenty feet was run and the ledge wild
ened. A winze was then sunk 5 feet and
the ledge opened feet in width, from
which assays went as high as 1925 to the
| ton.
NEwARK.-The main shaft is now down
440 feet. A cut will be made to tap the
ledge at the depth OF 375 feet. The east
drift, which is now in 40 feet, shows por-
phyry to the face where quartzite begins
to show, and seems to have thrown tine
ledge from its natural course. The ledge
matter shows at the opening of this drift
some 20 feet in width. A drift has been
run 60 feet in westerly direction. The
ledge there shows itself bearing fine min
eral, that would assay finely. A cut was
made in the south side of this drift, to
connect with Wine that was started
from the 225-foot level. Fine ore shows
where the WINE cnts the main ledge.
Some ore which we brought to the sur
face has been pronounced by all who
have seen it as being equal to any of the
bAst in the Ely district Some Is tons
have been extracted, and will be hoisted
as soon as the dump is in proper order
to receive it. In this westerly drift the
pay ore varies from 4 to - inches.
Stopping has been commsnced at the
opening Of this drift. It is conceded by
mining men who have seen this ledge,
that the prospects are very fattering.
ARKANsAs.-Ths incline shaft has
reached depth of $50 feet. with strong
vein of ore at the bottom. A station
will be shortly opened at this point. and
levels commenced. In the l20-foot and
25O-foot levels the vein is being stopped
out. 1t is feet in width and will aver
age large figures. The ore on the dump
| is rapidly increasing IN amount, and ere
| long arrangements will he made for
crushing. We are obliged to Mr.. Phil
lips, the superintendent for his curtesy
in extending facilities for inspection.
Mr.. Phillips thinks his mine needs no
"bush, and also that it has a sufficient
showing to rely on its own merits, and
We think the same.
IvANHoE.-Under the superintendent
of Mr.. j. r. Duff the operations on this
mine are proceeding quite vigorously.
The working shaft has reached a depth
use in this shaft is now ON the way
from San Francisco, and may be ex-
pected to arrive very shortly. In the
old workings a Wine is being sunk
from the 300-foot level of the incline,
and shows handsome ledge of 3 feet
in width, and carries large proportion
of excellent ore. When the hosting
works are erected and the operations of
this mine get under fair Roadway We
expect it will give no mean increase to
the bullion shipments of Phoebe.
PoRTLANp.--Thev vain is still very wide,
from 51 to 6 feet, and shows large
stratum of unusually rich ore. In a
conversation yesterday with gentleman
who has had an extended acquaintance
with the mines of this district, he ex-
pressed most favorable opinion of the
value and permauence of this mine. On
the surface the ground is being graded
for the reception of hosting works.
Buildings have also been erected for the
accommodation Of the workmen aud to
enable the business of the mine TO be
carried on with dispatch and economy.
Mr.. John Maggie is the Superintendent of
the Company and is managing its affairs
with skill and energy
PAGE 4 PANACA.-Still sinking the
main shaft, which is down 40 feet.
Last week ledge of some size was
passed through, but not bearing ore in
any quantity. The 360-foot level is be-
ing driven, and is now 165 feet from
the shaft in a southwesterly direction
Mr. Kales, the Superintendent, has lust
returned from San Francisco and ap-
pears to be satisfied with the progress
made during his absence.
CHAPMAN.--On this mine a vertical
shaft is being sunk which is now 42C
feet deep. The 360-foot level is looking
very favorably. In the other lower lev.
els drifting is going on. The great
depth Of the shaft compels the use OF
hosting machinery, which will probably
be erected ere very long. Mr.. Z. p.
Figg, the President of the company, is
now in Roche and has examined the
mine. He expresses himself as much
pleased with the prospect of affairs.
CHIEF OF THE HILL. - asst week about
$1,000 in bullion was shipped from this
mine, making total OF $24,000 since
crushing was commenced. The Sd Level
is in good ore at the face. The wines
being sunk from this level are respect
lively 80, IS and 81 feet in depth and al
of them arc developing ore of an excel.
lent character. There is considerable
amount of ore on the dump and the pros
poets Of continued supply are excel
lent. rM .-t.45

working most satisfactorily. Every pre-
