| UTILI DULCI
This is the classical name of q new
lode, which was located some time last
week, the discoveries being George
Searles, Thomas Golden and Henry
Hayne. 1t is not far from town. They
had been prospecting unavailingly for
TWO months, until last Monday, when a
body OF very rich ore was struck.
sample is lying before us, and it is an
parently very rich. In our next we will
give the result of an assay. Nav the
persevering discoveries of the Utili Dulci
realize their most sanguine expectations.
PORTLAND.
The same amount of work as reported
III our last is in progress The winze Is
now down IS feet, showing a vein az
feet wide of splendid ore, the AVERAGE
assay being $162 A new stone has also
been started above the first station and
!ne vein at that point is fully as wide as
IN the wlnze. About five tons of ore are
being hoisted day, and shipments to
the mill will soon commence. Mr..
James. the new superintendent, assures
us that future developments will be most
theoretically prosecuted.
ALADDIN.
ms is new Incorporation, but on an
old, we'll tested location. Chas. Goe-
dicke, the Superintendent, has just let
contract to Harley Fay, formerly fore
man OF the Excelsior in this district and
an old miner of the ComstocA lode, to
sink 100 feet. The main shaft is already
80 feet down. The prospects are good
for the Aladdin becoming one of our
most important mines, and we shall
watch future developments with much
interest.
PIoCHE PHENIx.
The new shaft is down 270 feet. The
rock has been very hard the past week,
but Is again coming in soft. In the old
works drifts are being run for ore con-
nections. Satisfactory results so far.
The. order of the Court in regard to these
works does not, in any way. interfere
with the new shaft and hosting works.
There are 475 feet of ground west which
is not covered by the injunction. Pros
pecting will continue through the new
shaft.
MAzEPPA.
Working the usual force of men in
opening the drifts. A wiuza is being
sunk on the main vein OF ore. From
~ to 30 tons of ore have been raised
during the past week. The mine is
looking finely in all its drifts and slopes,
and gives renewed promise of soon pro-
ducing bullion in large quantities. The
company purpose having 100 to $50 tons
of ore worked within week or so. When
worked we will give the results.
ALPS.
The usual quantity of ore is being rails
ed from this mine. The dump is full of
good ore, and about seven tons a dav are
being shipped to the mill. Milling will
soon be begun. The main shaft is now
300 feet in depth, from which point the
ledge will be drifted for this week Re
cent developments in this mine are ia
vorable for the district The eastern
portion of the mine is extraordinarily
promising as proved by actual working.
SILVER PEAK.
During the week the incline has been
sunk about Is feet deeper, being now
lS5 feet deep. Work continues in the
tunnel. L. X. Butler, assayer, returns a
certificate OF sssay of two classes of rock
from the bottom of the Silver Peak in
cline, as follows: Grey, per ton, $3.50
GA; light $3.50 IT," The vein is about
six inches in width Work is progressing
on the tunnel below finely.
STANDARD.
Have commenced stopping on the fine
body Of ore struck last week (noticed in
our last review, and about three tons
day are being extracted therefrom. The
average assay of the ore on the dump is
1892. Two shifts are engaged. Mr..
James, the Superintendent, informs us
that the working forces will soon be in
creased, and hoisting-works will shortly
be negotiated for.
PIoCHE.
During the month of Janury 1876 tons
of ore have been shipped from the mine
to the Magnet mill; and from this
amount well on to $4,000 worth of bull
lion has been returned. The ore breasts.
are as favorable as ever in extent and
quality, and the usual amount of orer
continues to be hoisted daily.
DowERY.
Still drifting at the bottom of the main
shaft for the ledge, with fair prospects.
A cross-cut is being run on the frsts
level with very fiattering indications.
