WASHINGTON AND CREOLE.

WARRINGTON AND CREOLE.
No new developments of importance.
About two tons of ore day being hoisted,
and about IT'S tons on the dump. The
assays vary, but there is no doubt that
the mill yield will not fall far short of
500 to the ton. The rock has become soft
er. and much better progress than usual
ual is being made in the shaft and drifts.
Since the introduction of the air pipes,
the main shaft from the 340-foot level to
the bottom has been partitioned, thus in
surfing thorough ventilation in all parts
Of the mine.
MEADOW VALLEY.
We know but little about this mine,
save from hearsay; but common
report among practical miners says
it is one of the "biggest things" in the
State-or, rather, that millions are sin
sight," which will be hoisted some time
this summer. We give these stories for
what they are worth; but are confident
the machinery owned by the Meadow
Valley Company, to say nothing of the
mine, is worth more than the stock
now calls for.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
Not less than 900 tons of ore have been
delivered at the mills during the week,
two-thirds of which is first-class. From
lis to 100 tons day are being hoisted.
The orc breasts never looked better-are
good in all parts of the mine. The
slopes are all being worked to the fullest
| extent. About 400 men are working in
and about the mine. Work is being
pushed with all energy in the drift from
| the 9Th level.
PIoCHE.
Ore has been reduced at the Magnet
mill during the week, but the returns
have not been all received. There are
still $50 tons of good ore on the dump,
which, judging from the yield so far,
ought to pulp over $3.50 to the ton.
Usual quantities continue to be hoisted.
and the mine continues unchanged. Full
forces engaged.
EXCELSIOR.
From 10 to Is tons of high grade ore
are being shipped daily to the Magnet
mills. Large quantities of ore continue
to be brought to the surface. The main
shaft is down 2S0 feet. Work is being
pushed in the drifts to make connection
with the wines, good progress being
made. Ore bodies large.
ALPS.
The drift from the 160-foot level has
cut 4-foot vein of very rich ore, sons
of the assays running up to $500 to the
ton. The ledge dips to the south. The
ore breasts in all parts of the mine arr
looking well. The drift at the 300-foo
level is in "a feet.
