From the Silver State Oct. .,

From Ed. Todd, who returned from
Central District last Sunday. we learn
the following relative to that flourish
ing mining camp: The Dutchman
continues to yield extraordinarily rich
ore In greater quantity than even the
most sanguine anticipated. The own
ers Of the Dutchman also " the
Marietta mine In the same district on
which there Is q mortgage, and to pay
of the indebtedness they are going to
have twenty tons of their fi~rst.class
ore worked at Mullen s. Co.'S mill
from which they expect to realize a
net profit Of 3d. 600. Assays of the
ore warrant the belief that It will
work 300 per ton. Frank Cole and
Bob Reed are working steadily on
their new discovery. The ledge 10
looking well and assays Of the ore run
up into the thousands. Mullen Zoos
mill Is running steadily on ore from
the Marietta. Six miners supply the
MILL to Its full capacity, the ledge In
the slopes being large and easily
mined. The general prospects Of the
district are first-rate and everybody Is
hopeful and hard at work.
By a private letter received here by
J. j. Wait, from Fl. n. Bailey, Super
intendent of the Central Pacific mine,
la Relief District, we learn that the
mine at the l00-foot level-the great
est depth attained-is looking better
than ut any point near the surface.
The ledge shows three feet Of good
milling ore, besides a large percentage
OF shipping ore worth $1,000 per ton.
We are pleased to learn Of this I'M
provement Ia the Central Pacific mine,
which for several feet In the shaft,
through a well-detined ledge, con
talned but very Little mineral Of any
value. The mine Is owned and incor-
porated In the East, and the company
Is the only one from the Atlantic
States, that we know Of, engaged In
mining In this vicinity.
The shaft on the Mammoth ledge In
Star District, Is down sixty feet, and
the ore streak Is increasing In size. A
fine body Of ore was reached In the DE
Soto last week, In what 10 known as
the Contract Tunnel. This tunnel had
been run 100 feet on the ledge without
developing any large deposits OF ore.
There Is nothing new to report from
the Sheba. Work is being continued
ON the American Basin, and some
very rich stringers Of ore have been
cut In the shaft. The Concentration Is
running steadily,as water will permit.
The ledge recently discovered on
Inskip Hill BY the new corners from
the eastern part Of the State Is Great
ing quite an excitement In these parts.
It was what was known among miners
as a "blind lead" THAT Is, 1t did not
crop at the surface) and 1t Is now two
feet wide, all excellent milling ore.
It Is located In the limestone, about a
mile south Of the Arizona, and Its APP
p~earance indicate TO be a continuation
Of that vein, which 10 supposed to ex.
tend to Cottonwood. Four miners are
now employed at the Millionaire, ex-
tracing ore which the owners are hay
ing worked at the Pioneer mill.
At the lower level Of the Silver
mine. owned by the Arizona Compa-
ny, which Is being run on the vein In
a southerly direction. the ledge Is four
feet wide, and average assays from the
whole ledge show that 1t contains a
little over $500 per ton in silver.
