,oc,L MINING REVIEW.

1856.
During the past week the excitement
with regard to our mines has continued
~. .,ocks have been raising and falling,
as II we're by jerks and faces alternately
hopeful and sad might be seen on our
s,rsets every day. With regard to the
strikes reported, it seems that the ledge
foupd in the American Flag mine is rich
and extensive. 1t is reported as such by
those who ought to know most about it.
The Washington & Creole stock has
risen but the management OF the mine
.ov nothing with regard to new develop
,n.r,s As to the rumored discovery of
the best body OF ore yet found in the
RAYMOND and & Ely, the talk, as far as
,be public is concerned, has ceased. A
rumber of those working in the mines
in the vicinity of the Washington & Gre
ole and American Flag are expecting to
make similar developments to those re-
ported.
A still greater excitement than has ex-
listed is predicted in the stock market by
some of those who are considered, or
consider themselves, prophets in such
matters. Our only wish is that our pros
perity may continue to increase rs it has
done for the last two weeks.

Of the ore-body cannot be determined, al
it has not yet been fully opened out. A
present the work in the mine has been

amount of replacing and repairing which
it is necessary to do. A new reel is to b'
