drift will be run to the south to cut the
vein. From the inclination of the ledge
at the 375-foot level it is expected that
this cross course will not be of greater
length than 80 feet. In the west drift
OF the first level winze is being sunk on
the ledge, which is now - feet in depth.
1t shows vein about IS inches wide
with IL inches of ore. That portion Of
the latter which is near the foo. wall
gives assays of 1924 per ton. while that
taken from near the hanging wall is of
lower grade. From the commencement
OF the winze the lead has improved great
ly and has now all the appearance OF
widening into large body of rich ore.
The shaft is being sunk by contract
but the other work in the mine is being
performed by day labor.
PIooHE.-The work on the winze be-
low the main incline is being pushed.
1t is now 100 feet below the lowest sta
ton, when it has attained depth equal
to 100 feet perpendicular from the bot
tom level cross cnt will be run to the
ledge. Last week 160 tons of ore was
shipped to the Magnet mill. From the
former crushings there has been re-
ceived about $4,000 in built, n which is
still on hand. The production of ore is
about the same as usual, only of decid-
eddy better quality, the bar assays
averaging fully 25 per cent more than
they have yielded Of late. Mr.. Nelson,
the Superintendent, is managing the
works with much energy and Judgment,
and if well seconded by the Company,
we think his efforts will be successful in
making the Phoebe one of our most pro-
ductive and remunerative mines.
RAYMOND & ELY.-There is but little
change to report in this mine. The lower
workings uniformly support the prospect
of the steady and continued productive
ness of the vein. The production and
shipment of ore and bullion continue
fully up to the rate of the preceding
month. In other matters there is no.
thing special calling for remark. In all
respects the Raymond & Ely remains the
king pin of the Elys, as the San Fran
cisco Chronicle phrases it.
CONDOR. Under the care of Mr..
arl Davis. the work in this mine is
going on very steadily. The Inclined
shaft is 90 feet deep. From the bottom
two drifts have been run in an easterly
aud westerly direction, the lengths are
respectively 30 and so feet. As the shaft
has been run below the ledge Mr. Davis
is causing a cross cut to be opened,
which will shortly reach the vein. In
| the last few days number Of ore bear
ing streaks have been cut which shows
that the ledge is quite near.
CHAPMAN.-The lower levels of this
mine continue to improve. Before the
issue Of our next week s review we shall
probably be able to give this mine a
close examination and present our
readers with an extended report.

extraordinary developments have been
made during the past week. We repeat
that which has been brought forward to
the mining fraternity number of times
in our columns-that the Phenix has not

the new shaft is being pushed ahead rap.

it. We will give, in our next review, {

CHIEF EAST EXTENSION. - Captain
Hardy is working the mine in mos
vigorous manner and the prospects lool
favorable. We trust that by Sunda,
next we will be able to call the attention
of the public to another strike in Ell,
district. The ledge. when first strucl
was we'll defined, and at the usual deptf
large vein of fine rich ore will b
opened up. Men are kept working nigh
aud day, and all interested parties il
Phoebe are sanguine of success.
PoRTLANp.-This great mine has reach
ed a depth of 108 feet. The ledge ha
been stripped some 45 feet, showing fin
: yellow and gray clorides four feet i
} width. The shaft has been trimme
! down vertically and timbered with thre
l inch timbers the entire distance.

1 track in the drift, lis feet, has bee
e laid to the shaft, and the car is workin
Y first rate. The Portland ledge is probf
bly, the greatest discovery yet made i
