Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-07-13


Notwithstanding the tumble in the
stock of this Company, We can assure
our readers that there is nothing in the
appearance of the mine to justify the de-
cline. Never since the first blow was
struck on its groupings has the Meadow
Valley mine looked SO well, or been of
such real intrusive value as to-day.
CHIEF EAST EXTENSION.
The connection having been at last
made with the Chief of the Hill mine.
the ventilation is now excellent. The
east drift is being pushed rapidly for
ward. and the ledge shows some very
fine ore. Working the usual force.
MAzEpPA.

tinues. Working the usual force CT
men. The mine presents no marked
changes since our last report The shaft
continues in ledge matter, with occa-
sional stringers of ore coming in.
SILVER PEAK.
Work on the new hosting works is
progressing rapidly; and meanwhile the
mine throughout is being solidly timbered,
ana every preparation made to resume
work ON large scale, as soon as the
hosting works are completed.
WASHINGTON AND CREOLE.
No particular change to note. The
ore in the slopes aud drifts appears
about the same as last week, and the
production of the mine is without mate
rial variation.
SOUTH SIDE.
If what is reported of the strike in
the Newark mine be true, it goes long
way to confirm the theory on which this
shaft was started, as explained in our
Review two weeks ago. Sinking the
shaft ut the rate of one foot to the shift.
From the drift at the 24O-foot level a
winze has been sunk on the ledge 20
feet. The ledge is two feet wide, and
the ore is improving in quality as depth
is attained. There are about 90 tons of
ore on the dump. Working twelve men.

interest concerning it.
Highland District.
HAMBURGH.
No particular change to note; still

its size and average richness OF ore. A
very beautiful specimen from this mine
was brought in town day or two ago,
