in the Raymond a Ely. This resump-
ton of work is a benefit to the business
interests of Phoebe, not only because it
gives employment to hundred and fifty
men in the mine, but, also, because on
account of it the Bullionville railway is
again put in operation, giving work to
twenty-five or thirty more men. The
streets do not contain nearly SO many |
idle men in the day time as they did
week ago. This looks well. 1t shows
that everybody is at work in one way or
another, and we know of no better sign |
for the district, at present. Work, work,
that is what is going to develop our
mines and make our district the foremost |
in its line.
There has been rise in the stock OF
one Of our mines-the Newark-lately, |
owing probably to the strike reported a
few days since. We have been unable,
however, to obtain any items with re-
gard to this mine for our readers, on ac-
count Of the reticence of the manage
ment. Whether the rise in the stock is
owing to q real Improvement in the
mine, or whether it is caused by move
ment of stock operators, we do not know;
but We sincerely hope it is the former.
WASHINGTON AND CREOLE.
Drifting east and west continues with
out change in the ledge. In the west
drift ledge was struck running north
west and southeast A Wine has been
sunk in it about sixteen feet and raised
about the same distance. This ledge is
found to average about fourteen inches
in width, and to be of very rich ore. A
WINE is also being sunk on the east of
the main drift 1t is now down about
thirty feet, with about one foot of ore in
the bottom. Yesterday eighty-seven tons
of ore were shipped, and it is approx
mated that there are now four hundred
tons of ore on the dump.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
Everything is running smoothly once
more Two shifts, OF fifty men each, are
now at work below, and about fifty men
are working at the surface, making in all
about one hundred and fifty. 1t is not
the intention to put on more men. Be-
tween IS and so tons of ore are taken out
and shipped by rail to the mills daily
More ore could easily be taken out. The
drift from the ninth level is now in l25
feet. and it is calculated that the ledge is
only Is feet distant from the southern
end OF the drift
