Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1873-12-20

Daily yield, 460 tons, OF ore. Ihe
ore breasts and slopes on the different
levels never have yielded better or
looked more promising for the future
than at the present. Tho main south
drift OIL the l300.foot level Is In 625
feet south of the Grown Point line,
still In quartz. The winze from the
1900 to the 1900. foot levels, Is finished.
passing the entire distance through
good ore. The up-raise from the $50
foot level, has also made connection
with the south drift on the 900 foot
level, greatly facilitating the vsntil-
alton Of that part Of the mine. The
north drift on the 1300-foot level to
with the south drift on the
same level from the Crown Point Is In
al feet, good Roadway being made.
silver Hill.
The water In the main shaft Is rap
idly subsldlng, and the pumps are mas
tiers OF the situation, consequently the
work Of sinking deeper goes OH at a
satisfactory rate. The main drifts,
both north and south,at the second sta
tion. are being driven ahead. the face
of the north drift showing lively and
looking gypsum quartz.
The north winze near the Justice line
will connect with the second level In =
few DAYS. ,fhe various ore breasts and
sections are all looking'well, and the
future prospects Of the mine are excel
lent. Captain L. Rawlings. the newly
appointed Superintendent, Is a gentle.
man of experience and energy, and
the mine will doubtless prosper well
under his management.
Knickcrbocker.
The contract. for the mason work OF
the foundations for the hosting aud
pumping machinery is nearly COM
pleted, and by the middle Of next week
all will be ready for the reception OF
the machinery, which IL already OIL
the ground ready to DO placed In po-
sition. The work has been done IN the
most thorough and substantial man
ner, taking somewhat longer than the
contractors calculated upon. The
heavy tlmbers are fitted and all ready
to be put In place and the work will
be hurried forward as fast as possible,
In order that. tho further development
OF this valuable mine may be proceed
Ell with at the earliest practicable op.
portunity.
Justice.
The main north drift Oh tho 30O-foot
level Is In clay and porphyry, with oc-
c~asional streaks of fine ore. The north
cross.cut, OH this level, affords no
change Of interest since our last report.
The east cross.cut, In the south winze
on the 400 foot level, Is still In quartz
of n very promising character. The
west cross.cut, from this winze. has
reached the west wall, passing through
G or 7 feet of low grade OFT. An as.
sessment Of g 80 per share was levied
Dec. 18th.
Occidental.
The water. heretofore flowing from
the vein through the main lower adit,
has now been nearly drained. Within
three days work cat be resumed In the
south Wine, which was abandoned
some months ago OIL account OF the
great influx Of water. This Wine Is
sunk In the ore body, and at the time
of being discontinued was In ore OF
good quality. Henceforth the pros
pecting In this mine will DO carried OIL
with the greatest Vigor.
Lady Bryan.
This famous mine, after several
months quietude, Is soon to be worked
again, aud under better and more ia
vorable auspices than heretofore. The
company has recently been %re-incor-
porated with a capital stock of : 5,OOO,-
DOC, divided into 81, 1000 shares Of 800
each. The following Is the new Board
of Trustees: Judge Solomon Heyden-
feldt, A. Z. Minear, George d.. Rob
erts, j. w. Pearson, and Edward ke-
nesly.
American Flat.
Work OH the 400.foot level las
been suspended for almost tho entire
week for the purpose Of adding n new
hosting reel to the machinery, tho one
In use not being able to do more than
the hoistlng necessary in sinking the
shaft. The prospects OF tho speedy
development Of n fine ore body In the
main southwest drift on this level have
never been nero flattering than at the
lime of the suspension OF the work.
Europa.
Main west tunnel still being driven
ahead in the back ledge, with no change
since our last to report. The indica.
lions still continue excellent. Capt.
Harry Symons, the Superintendent, Is
confident Of his ability to make the
Europa a paying mine. He was the
only one who ever succeeded In get
ting any paying amount Of bullion
from the Lady Bryan mine.
Gould d Curry.
The main east drifts, on both the
1900 and 1GOO.foot levels, are driven
vigorously ahead, both in vein matter
of a very promising nature. The
main east drift, OIL the 1700-foot level,
Is making good progress, not yet hav-
ing reached the west wall Of the ore
vein. No water to impede tho prog
ress Of tho work.
SutrO.
The main south drift Is in 100 feet in
ore giving average assays Of $40 per
ton. This drift tapped during the
week a considerable stream Of water,
though not sufficient to Impede the
progress ofthe work. The main north
DRIFT Is In 80 feet showing some very IA
yorable indications. 1t Is the lnten-
ton to commence cross cutting the
ledge In a very lew days.
