MINING .YNopsI..

The Board having adjourned til
next Tuesday. In order to elaborated
enjoy the Fourth. the only sales o
stocks are couGned to street transac
lions. There Is no particular change
however, worthy Of mention from las
regular quotations. Owing to TIL
holiday interference, and the fact tina
there Is really nothing Of essential I'm
portance to report In the mines sine,
u last regular summary, We will oil
this occasion give merely u brief sy
nopsis
Nothing new to report in any Of the
leading mines Of the Virginia section.
They are all looking we'll and promis-
Ing Improvement. Sinking in the new
shaft Of the Utah mine will be resumed
on Monday next. In the Julia the
east drift at the S00.foot level Is being
driven ahead, and at the 1000 foot level
the south DRIFT Is running alongside
the ledge. The shaft of the Senator Is
down 370 feet, In the same cncourag-
Ing character of vein matter as last re-
ported. The upper tunnel OF the Mint
Is In l50 feet, with two cross-cuts into
the ledge, showing very favorable
looking ore, and the Jacob Little has
developed a good body Of ore In the
second %cross.cut, which assays from
$50 to $3.50 per ton.
The Gold Hill section Is also flour
ishing and promising. The Imperial
turns out about so tons daily from the
lower levels. Drifting both north and
south at the 400 and l500-foot levels
Of the Yellow Jacket develops only
excellent indications as yet. The
Crown Point machinery Is running all
right aud the daily yield of the mine
has increased to v 400 tons. In
prosecuting for the ore vein, at the
l400-foot level, the drill Is kept
ing In ahead as u precautionary meas
ure, guarding against a great rush Of
water. a considerable increase of
water Is found within the last day or
two, indicating proximity to the ledge
The Belcher Is yielding over 800 toHs
Of ore per day. The l3OO-foot level
continues to show Improvement and
the face of the main DRIFT south Is all
in tirst-class ore. The great ore body
holding out so we'll and continuing In
that direction Is 4 very encouraging rs
well as significant circumstance. The
main incline Is now down below the
l300-foot level, and the station Is
opened for a drift north into the level.
The prospects OF the American Flat
section show continued Improvement.
The lower drift OF the Baltimore has
not cut the ore vein yet. but Is liable
to at any time now. The main drift
of the Franklin Is making about five
feet per day, and Is thought to be very
near the ledge. The main shaft of the
Arizona aud Utah Is down $50 feet
and m incline Is being sunk on the
ledge in the main east tunnel, which is
passing through quartz with occasional
spots Of good ore. Arrangements have
been made to prospect the Globe mine
through the Arizona and Utah. The
new shaft Of the Nevada mine Is pro-
crossing we'll, six feet being added to
its depth this last week. The rock Is
hard but works we'll. The tunnel Of
the Baltic Consolidated Is going ahead
well, and yesterday some pieces Of ore
we're found asSaying from SIS to $25
per ton. Another shift of men will be
put to work next Monday. The Tyler
shaft. l50 feet deep, Is having the wa
tor pumped out OF 1t and next Monday
will be resumed for the ledge.
The Silver Hill, Woodville, and 9th
er leading mines Of the Gold Canyon
division, are also looking and yielding
The sinking OF the large, new
working shafts OF the Crown Point EX-
and the Lower Comstock, pro-
crosses AT 4 very energetic and salts
rate. The hosting works OF
The Lady Washir gton are nearly COM
building aud all. Tho same
may be said Of the Daney. The old
shaft of the Green mine Is cleared out
md retimbered down to the incline,
which shows signs of having caved to
little extent. As soon rs this can
be cleared out and retimbered, drifting
for the ledge will be commenced at
once, with II good prospect Of cutting
It In a short time. The main tunnel OF
the Pictou Is being driven ahead with
ohm ractaristir ENERGY. |
