Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-01-19

MAzEPPA.-The usual force of men are
az work ON this mine. Drifting on the
loO-ioot level continues, with ore its en-
tire length. About 30 tons of fine ore
have been raised during the past week.
But little ore will be raised (only enough
70 clear the stopes) until the hosting
works, now on the ground, are set up.
Ii is expected that they will be in running
order within 30 days. They are of the
best material and workmanship, being
similar to those on No. of the Meadow
valley, but OF greater power. This mine
Is very promising. 1t is estimated that
the ore on the dump will work 5000 per
| ton, II not more. 1t is rich chloride in
character, and yields assays rs high as
5000 to the ton.
The FLORAL Mill, in the northern
suburbs Of the city, is about ready for
crushing. Captains Clark and Evans,
who have had the SUPPLEMENTARY of
the work, may well feel pround of their
success. In strength of construction
and elegance of finish it is scarcely ex-
celled in the State. Fifteen stamps will
| be in operation in about two weeks, and
the other five stamps will soon after be
put in motion. There is already a large
| quantity OF ore at the mill.
| MEADOW VALLEY.-The shipments Of
ore to the mill from this famous mine,
interrupted by rains through December
and the first of this month, are again be-
ing made with former regularity. The
ores are unchanged in quality and extent;
an increase rather than decline OF pro-
ductiveness may be expected. should any
| change occur in the near future. Every
drift is humming with activity, the mine
being worked throughout to the greatest
! practicable extent.
AMADoR TUNNEL.-Shaft is now down
100 feet below the level of the tunnel,
and drift has been run from the shaft
and on the vein $50 feet. The ledge
proper has an average width of about
| three feet. One hundred and thirteen
tons OF ore from this mine, worked last
month, returned something over 5000 to
the ton. OF course, with such yield
and such body of ore, much is expect
ed OF this enterprise in the future.
=, JOHN R. JAMES has been appointed
Superintendent OF the Portland mine,
and will return to Phoebe in few days
to enter upon the discharge of his
duties. j. j. Maggie, who is at present
Superintendent, has been found faithful
and efficient. He will remain in charge
OF the mine until the arrival of Mr..
James.
ProcHE PHENIx.-No change to note.
Fine ore is being hoisted, and the mine
looks very promising. The new shaft is
now down 23O feet, and contract has
been made to sink 300 feet deeper. Con-
tractors are making feet every "a hours.
CHIEF OF THE HILL.-This mine con-
tinues to give the best of evidence of its
value in its steadily increasing bullion
shipments. The amount produced and
shipped during the week was unusually
large. The ore breasts are unchanged.
LA PAz.-Down 1876 feet, and timber
ed az far as sunk. The mine is well To-
Gated, and bids fair to take rank among
the best in the district 1t has been
incorporated, with Judge Haggin as
President
MARIoN.-Still sinking the main shaft,
which is now down $50 feet. The ledge
Is we'll defined from top to bottom, and
is fully feet wide. The indications are
very Aattering for good ore soon.
CHIEF EAST EXTENSION main
shaft is being sunk below the 9O-foot
level. The ledge is we'll defined. Ledge
matter from to feet wide, with some
good ore through it.
MEADOW VALLEY EAsT-Developme
continues with all the forces that can be
advantageously engaged. Indications
are considered more favorable-must be
very close to the ledge.
NEwARK.-Commenee shipping ore to
the Flag mill for reduction last Friday.
We will probably have for our next re-
view something Of importance to the
stockholders of the Newark.
KINsToN. The main shaft is now
down and substantially timbered 25 feet.
Drifting for the ledge night and day.
The drift is only in about Is feet at this
writing.

reached, but ledge matter is growing
richer. We must hear something defefi-
mite in regard to the Grey & Bishop
soon

with undiminished forces, The shaft is
