Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-08-17

During the past week there has been
little change in the mines Of Ely District.
One discovery has been made, however,
which promises to be a valuable one to
the discoveries. A notice Of it is given
in another column.
A erich strike" in one of the old
mines has also been reported, but as we
have no good reason to believe the said
strike to have been made we do not
propose to make sensational article Of
it. When we hear of a rich strike we
want to know something of it before we
give it to the public as fact. We don't
want any erich strike;" we want steady,
dividend-paying, or at least self-support-
ing mines. And we have every reason to
believe that ere long there will be many
more such in Phoebe than there are now.
AMERICAN FLAG.
Sinking the shaft rapidly on the vein,
which is the full width Of the shaft, and
showing fine streak Of ore on the foot
wall, with punches of good ore scattered
through the whole of the vein matter.
Working three shifts. Also drifting east
and west from the 7th station, on the
vein, which shows excellently in both
drifts, the ore being fully equal in guam
tity and quality to that in the shaft.

fast freight, Is bars of bullion, valued at
50, 1885, and yesterday, by Wells, Fargo
& Co.'s express, 81 200 more, making
$13, 1885 for the past week. The com.
pany's mill is still running on Newark
ore, and working it to high per centage,
as usual, but will shortly be put to work
on their own ores, when the bullion pro.
duct will be increased proportionately.
PAGE AND PANAcA.
The winze is now one hundred and two
feet deep, below the $50 foot level, hav.
ing been sunk twelve feet during the
week. The water continues to prove
great source of annoyance, caus-
ing the sides of the Wine to cave in many
places, and necessitating very thorough
timbering as fast as the ground is opened
More ore is showing itself, and the indi-
cations altogether are of favorable char
acter. Working the same force as last
week.

The face of the drift on the 575-foot

Work of sinking continues on ledge
No. 3, with no new developments to note
since last week, in consequence of the

depth.
