Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-06-08

utpth OF ~ feef, from which point
winzo has b, cn sunk 10 feet in ore. The
dip is TO the southwark, and being right
on line with the Bowery, and other
important mints S, it is believed to be an
eastward continuation of the same vein.
The vein matter is from 4 to 5 feet in
width, some of which is rich chloride
ore. Development is being pushed with
great energy.
AMERICAN FLAG.
The Flag is looking unusually well in
the sixth level, and considerable good
ore is being brought to the surface. We
will try and get full report of its work
ings in our next.
Nothing new to report. Working with
Work is principally being done in the
west drift.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
The prospects on the eighth level are
indeed brilliant. The ore bodies are
strong and rich and seem to be improving.
1 he usual amount of ore is being hoist
ed, and the mills are running night and
day, turning out large quantities of
bullion. The indications in the shaft
which is being sunk for the ninth level
continue to improve. The Raymond
and Ely mine never showed better for
permanency and productiveness than at
this time.
PIoCHE.
Some very fine bullion has been pro-
duced by this mine during the week.
being much more than coin value, and
more just like it is being run out by the
Amador mill. Ore continues to be hauled
to the mill in large quantities, and the
usual quantities are being hoisted from
the mine. The workings of the mine
look well, the prospect for continued
production being very favorable. Work
is proceeding satisfactorily on the new
shaft the contractors making good head
way. Before us are certificates of assays
for the week as follows: Battery,
$l75.93; tailings, $3l.42. This gives a
return from the mill of Sl44.5I.
SILVER PEAK.
| The ledge maintains its average extent,
and the ore extracted is all high grade.
There are now about fifty tons of ore on
the Silver Peak dump, and, considering
the facilities for hosting, considerable
ore is being brought to the surface
Yesterday morning grading was begun
for the new hoisting-works, which will
be erected soon. The Silver Peak has
been improving during the week.
PAGE AND PANACA.
Nothing new to note. Indications
continue favorable. Work is being pros
ecuted night and day, with full forces.
BowERY.
The ledge has been cut in the Bowery,
and very fine ore is being brought to the
surface. We have seen some of the ore,
and it is certainly rich among the richest.
The ledge has been increasing in width
from the time it was first struck.
WASHINGTON AND CREOLE.
Nothing of particular interest to re-
port different from what we gave in our
last. Ore is being stopped, and about ten
tons day are brought to the surface.
1t is being hauled to the Amador mill for
reduction, and it is believed $50 tons
will be reduced during the month, which
will mill at least 800 to the ton. An
average assay from the dump went
$l97. The Washington and Creol
never promised better. Two shifts are
engaged, giving employment to 40
men.
PACIFIC TUNNEL.
The tunnel is now in 1888 feet, the
last "a feet being on Ledge No. 3. AT
the face of the tunnel the ore body is
strong, and the assays show that the ore
is very oductive-running from Sl6S to
81, 4S0 to the ton. The walls continue
smooth and well defined. The ore ex-
tracted is dumped in the winze. Thir
teen feet more will close the present con
tract, when another of 200 feet will i'm
mediately be let No mining enterprise
in Ely district is, prospectievly, more i'm,
portant than the Pacific Tunnel.
