Working about 40 men. Another winze
is being SINK, from which drifts are be-
ing run east and west, the ledge averag-
ing two feet in width from top to bottom
In Stopping up from the drift to the ledge,
the average width in the slopes is about
three feet. This stope is 40 feet long
running east and west from the main
drift. Prospecting for new developments
is going on as heretofore. The outlook
OF this mine was never better than at
present. The June shipment will be at
least $4,000.
SILVER CHIEF, MONARCH AND TIGER MINEs.
On the Silver Chief, the oldest in 10.
cation of this group of mines, considers
BILE work has been done. The first shaft
and incline was sunk in ore about thirty
five feet, some of which assayed very
high. A working shaft has been sunk
los feet, and drift run 80 feet to cut
the ledge, which, however, it has not yet
reached. This group of mines is stu
ated close to the Bullionvile road, be-
yond the Alps, and q little below the
famous Condor mine, and when work is
resumed, as We learn in shortly will be,
we look for something pretty good
CHEF OF THE HILL.
From Mr.. Thomas Cook, foreman of
the mine, we learn that they are work
ing about the same number of men as
last week. Have raised from the $50
foot level-Wright's shaft-50 feet, and
intend to drift therefrom to connect with
the Chief of the Hill East Before maxi
ing the connection, they expect, from
previous indications, to strike o large
body of ore. Mr.. Cook showed us
specimen of ore equal to anything we
have ever seen in the camp. The Wright
shaft will be timbered throughout by to-
morrow night-2l0 feet below the level
OF the tunnel. This shaft is SKA in the
clear-two compartments can raise 30
car loads in "a hours. Are now working
"a men. Expect to commence sinking
again during the present week.
SILVER PEAK.
Quite a decided improvement is no.
| ticeable in this mine since our last report.
The ore struck in the vein in the slopes
is wider and richer than ever before. In
one of the ore breasts this streak is three
feet wide-good milling ore, evidently
much better than the last that was sent
to the mill. The grading for the new
hosting works is progressing well, and
it is expected will be completed next
week. The machinery was to have left
San Francisco on the 10Th inst, but Su-
perintendent Nelson has, as yet, no ad-
vices of its shipment. The contract
with the Pacific Iron Works demanded
that the work should be commenced on
or before the 10th of June, and CON-
pleted and shipped on or before the 10Th.
BowERY.
Still working on ore from the recent
strike. Expected to commence crushing
this week, but have determined to defer
it till the LIST prox. All the drifts look
ing exceedingly well.
PORTLAND.
Have been hosting ore since Wednes-
day last. Tie ore averagesl 800 to the
ton. The vein in the slopes is maintain
ing its size and quality everywhere.
PIoCHE.
Working the usual number of hands,
and taking out ore faster, perhaps, than
at any previous time in the history of the
mine. Will resume delivering ore at the
Amador mill about the LIST of July. The
new shaft is now SO feet deep and max
ing good Roadway, the ground continu-
ing favorable.
| CONDOR.
Work is still suspended on this mine.
Why, we cannot conceive, for more
promising mine while work was prose-
cuted on the ledge was probably never
struck in Ely District. We hope to see
renewed activity in this quarter soon.
PUpDY.
This rather automatically named
mine was discovered some two week,
ago by Frank Radish. 1t is on the di
vide above the Raymond g. Ely mine

our experienced eye it looked like a very
fair quality of surface ore. Fifteen hun.

BROOKLYN.
The winze from the first level ia now
forty-fve feet deep, and the ledge con
tinues to improve. We saw some ex
cellent rock from it lately. The air i,

Still drifting from the bottom of tn,

MEADOW VALLEY.
Shipping $1,000 per day. Hav
bought the Ivanhoe engine-capacity
IL inch cylinder, l8 inch stroke. Rails
ing about SO tons daily.
SPRING MOUNTAIN TUNNEL.
No change worthy Of notice.
CHIEF EAST.
Still drifting east, and shows some yer,
fine ore in the drift.
Work suspended for the present.

Superintendent Hardy informs us tina
he expects to resume work in this min,
some time this week.

Sinking and drifting, with excellen
prospects. No particular change t.
