OF a few of the mines now being
developed it may not be out of place
to award them that notice their worth
II their further bearing will have

Much of the litigation that until
quite lately threatened our bust
ness prospects for this season has
been settled, and the evidences of the
good judgment of these settlements
over the final verdict from the court
is exhibited by the prosperity of our
town, and the confidence persons

exhibiting tho fact that while no as

days have been regular, and the EN-
ployment given to the great number
OF men i'll mining. coal producing
n other industries would warrant
the conclusion that to this property,
and through the efficiency of her sew
eral superintendents, belongs the
praise OF drawing capitalists to this
district, and the healthy benefits that
have followed in mining and the
building of a town that to-day com
parcs tavorably with some of our cit

The Richmond Mining Company,
Of Nevada, Qimited) is daily gaining
on its heretofore grand results. The
extra furnace. completed at the COM
mencement of the present quarter,
NJ &c nn,,ctn,t nc, -, all - - H.
old furnace, authorizes me in report
ing a double yield over the quarter
ending June 30, 1873. The exploitation
of the mine uuder the management
of Mr.. John B. McGee, resident super
intendent, and the construction of a
tin~e-graded road to the ore bin on the
north side of Ruby Hill, renders ac-
cess nearer, and inSureS certainty in
the transportation of ores regardless
of bad weather and roads. This step
al be accepted by us as the business
conclusion" our foreign capitalists
have arrived at as to the richness and
permanency of our mines.
The X X mine, under the manage
ment of W. ). Keyes, Esq, has, by
the pur base of the Marcelina East
mine, perfected a title that, with the
vast body of ore, hosting works and
other appliances for its extraction,
developed a property valuable to the
owners and of substantial benefit to
the entire community. The opening
Of this property is a great acquisition
to our list OF prominent mines.
The Ruby Consolidated Mining
Company limited), O.. III. Hahn
Superintendent, W several good
mines in this district, among them the
Dunderberg and Bullwhacker. The
company's furnaces are finely con-
structed and i'll constant operation.
The developments in the Dunderberg
indicate large bodies of ore. The
Bullwhacker developments extend to
Il depth of 800 feet, from which point
ore is being raised.
The IIoosac mine, in connection
with the IIoosac furnaces, has taken
its place with u most substantial
mining enterprises. The achievements
of MeSsrs. Strout and Wermouth in
the short period of time they have
applied their knowledge as miners
and SmelterS, prove that skilled labor
and science finds great recompense in
mining, and that many OF u dlSas-
trOuS failures are aScrlbaDle to lncoIm-
petent managers.
From the Industry mine, on Pros
pect mountain, ore of a high grade is
being extracted. Mr.. NJ. Z. Murphy,
Superintendent of this valuable mine,
has demonstrated its worth by the re-
duction of several tons of rich ore.
The fact of the Jinksville being in
litigation, and work at present sus-
pended, prevents that notice this
mine deserves. When freed from
this dru1rbuck to our prosperity, 1t Will
rank among u foremost mines.
The Orange mine, under the official
management of Mr.. Nj. McGeary,
figures well in u revenue returns.
The prospecting is of the most
thorough order.
The Excelsior, n of the mines of
the Silver West Company, has pro-
duced Il great quantity OF rich ore.
Mr.. j. III. Brumaglm, Superintendent
of this property, is making develop
ments clearly answering for his aDlll-
tv in conducting the property under
his control.
The Fourth OF July mire has ready
for tho furnaces several hundred tons
of high grade ore. The proprietors of
the mine, contemplating the con-
struction of furnaces, the explanation
