Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1873-04-19

These figures embrace the whole Of the
State, according to the taxes paid. The
amount for the whole State was $l7.-
6S9,4Oo OF. including the large return
of tho Raymond & Ely, and OF the Gold
Hill mines. In this month Of April,
thus far. the Belcher and Crown Point
mines alone produce $4,000 per day
each, or 81. 400, 900 per month for both,
and the ore In sight will last for years.
For the first three months OF 1873 they
produced 81, 500. 900. Thus, those two
mines alone are producing per annum
|Anearly double the amount produced In
tho whole State last year. The guam
tity of ore In the Ely district Is suti-
cient to carry the product there very
high, or as soon as the grasp OF the
lawyers Is shaken from the companies
so that the production may go on. IL
Is to be observed that the above figures,
| being tax returns, are below the real
values, since Wells. Fargo & Co. re-
ported over $222, 900. 900 delivered BY
them from Nevada last year. II the
| other sections produce as much as they
did last year the result will be S3S,-
600. 900, or as much as the State Of Ne
yada produced In the two previous
years.
Below we give what we know about
the mines.
Daily yield over 500 tons. About ITO
tons comes from the 130O-foot' level
and the rest from the levels above.
The slopes and breasts are all looking
finely. with the prospect OF a long con-
tinued yield ahead. The south DRIFT at
the l3OO-ioot level Is being tlmbered.
and when this Is completed, drifting
farther south will be resumed. The
main incline Is down ITO feet below
the 1900 foot level, the bottom in very
hard rock. The DRIFT south from 1t In
to the l2OO.foo level Is In 232 feet, and
the drift south to connect with 1t Is In
3S2 feet from the Grown Point line.
| About 100 feet of drifting remains to
be done In order to make the connee-
ton.

Extracting ore from the first station
has been commenced In good earnest,
Keeping the Bacon mill steadily run

necessary to stop work In the north

with the south drift from the Justice

Is being erected as fast "a possible, and
as soon rs it Is completed, work In the

the first station Is making excellent
progress, the rock working we'll and
the water giving but little trouble.

There is nothing new 10 report Of
the ore developments In the west cross
cut, from the main south drift on the
lsOO.foot level. The main drift north
on the 1GOO.foot level. to connect with
the south drift from the Gould & Curry
is making fair progress, considering
the great heat encountered, and the
difficulties OF ventilating at so great a
distance from the main shaft. The
main south drift OH the l700-toot level
Is still pressed vigorously ahead, with
with some favorable indications Of ore,
but nothing of material value to re-
port rs yet.

Sinking the shaft ia making good
progress, the rock in the bottom blast
ing aud working well. The flow Of
water continues much the same as in
former reports, but gives very little
trouble, the pumps handling 1t with
perfect ease. At the annual meeting
of the stockholders held In San Fran

tees we're elected for the ensuing year:
NJ. ID. Townsend, j. A. Pritchard, w.
II. Sears, He. Kibbe and CIV. Fister.
Joseph Mcguire, Secretary.
Cleaning out and preparing to
again commence sluking the shaft was
begun yesterday morning. The main
west drift on the lOOO-ioot level Is still
pressed vigorously ahead, with no
change of interest to note. During
tue week quite u poCkcC OF WAFER WAS
tapped by the north drift from the
main tunnel, but has been drained SO
that it offers no obstacle to the prose-
cution Of the work. Steady progress
and nothing new to report OF the south
drift. u.

Daily yield $50 tons Of ore. the as
say value OF which Is S33 per ton. The
ore breasts in different ore producing
sections Of the mine are still looking
aud yielding well. The prospecting
drift ut the fourth station affords no
change OF interest for the week. All
the machinery Is in fine working con-
dition and the future prospects Of the
mine quite encouraging.

The main west drift on the 4s0-foet
level is still driven steadily ahead, the
face of tho drift In clay anaquartz,
showing occasional streaks Of low
grade ore.
