east and west. The requisite amount OF
work was done on the mine, and it pre-
sented such a favorable appearance that
II was incorporated in San Francisco last
october with Gashwiier as President and
Messrs. Raymond, Moulder and Light
ner rs Trustees. Mr. John Nagle is
superintendent, and since his appoint
ment work has been vigorously pushed:
oo tons OF first class is now on the dump
some OF the same class was milied and
pulped 5000 to the ton. The shaft is
100 feet i'll depth. A Wine from this
level has reached depth of 45 feet. The
ledge shows well, being of rich decom-
posed yellow chloride. The ledge in the
mlnze Is to 81 feet in width. For the
last III feet the ore is of a free milling
character. Heretofore the ore was some
what base. There is about S25, 900 in
the treasury at present. Hosting works
VIII be put up as soon as the depth of
TIE mine requires. Thirty men are en-
ployec, divided into S-hour shifts.
ExcELsIoR.-Thew inze in the eastern
portion of the mine is now 175 feet deep.
The other Wine spoken of in our former
review is leo feet distant from that
above mentioned. Drifting is now being
done to connect the wines. The ore
shows in the drift as far as worked, and
Is very rich. The main or new working
shaft formerly known as Ocean Bell is l75
feet deep. Timbering of this shaft has
been he principal work for some time.
1t is now finished, and the work of sink
ing will be resumed. At the depth of
800 feet 1t is expected the vein will be
crossed. On the Excelsior dump 275
tons Of rich ore awaits crushing. The
mill is kept steadily running and the
pulp value of the ores keeps going to
better figures. Thirty-fve men are work
ing day and night and the quantity and
quality of the ore hoisted is truly amaz-
ing.
MEADOW VALLEY.-No. > of this mine
has depth of 620 feet at the 18th level.
Sinking at this point and taking out ore.
No. 3, or Summit Shaft, is 430 feet deep
and sinking continuously. No. is $50
feet deep and still sinking. The bulk of
the ore comes from No. 3 and some from
No.7. An average of 100 men is kept at
work constantly and the mine steadily
improves. On the different mines of
this company drifting east and west is
actively carried on. The Meadow VAL
ley, the first mine of this District, has
never failed to produce its regular quota
OF silver, and still stands steadfast. The
company at one time kept the entire
town of Phoebe alive, and its present
working and character of the rock being
miiled will make it equal to the Com
stock lode eventually.
RAYMOND & ELY.-Depth of the Light
ner shaft to the 18th level, 623 feet verti-
cal depth. The 7th level is just being
opened, and the ore shows splendidly
The ore between the 4th and 9TH and
the 9th and 9Th levels looks equally
as well. Twelve hundred tons of Sd class
ore lies on the dump and about 1000 tons
of good ore at the mill; 80 tons are being
hauled daily to the mill. 81, 600 is be-
ing turned out every day, and two cages
are used for hosting ore night and day
There are about 200 men at work in the
mine, and from developments being
made in different portions of it, no doubt
rich ores will soon be unearthed in guam
titles to surprise the world
BowERY. 49, Superintendent Blair is
endeavoring to work this mine in the
most economical manner. The con-
tract let some time ago is about finished,
and the depth has reached 1926 feet
Drifting will be commenced from that
point to the ledge. The Superintendent
proposes to work the mine hereafter
himself and in such q manner that no
expense will be incurred except that
which is actually necessary. Mr.. Blair
has been very sick for the last two weeks,
but We are pleased to state that he is
now up and doing well, and can be seen
daily rush. ng to and fro attending to
business.
SUNBEAM.-The work on this mine has
been temporarily suspended. The work
that has been done is well worthy of
mention. At the lower level, 22O feet
from the surface, there are two wines
that have been in active operation. They
are rs feet apart; one had Just been
started and the other reached q depth of
20 feet. The finest ore in the mine
came from this point. The Magnet Mill
has been running on the ores and some |
30 tons now lie on the dump. Twenty
five men had been kept constantly at |
work. The prospects were fatterlng.
Work will probably be resumed shortly.
PARIAN M1NE-The Parian, which we
mentioned some time ogo, has been in
corporated in San Fsancisco, and work
is being rapidly pushed ahead by the
Superintendent, r. s. Wright. Fifteen
feet has been sunk on the vein and at
that depth the ledge opens up 2 feet in
width. The quartz has an appearance
similar To that of No 2 when at the
depth of so feet. A contract has been
let to sink 100 feet
ToBLER MINE.-On Monday last
small streak of rich ore was struck in
this mine, and from its appearance it
will no doubt open up large in few feet
further. The depth is now 100 feet, and
two shifts of men are kept constantly at
work. Our next review may be able to
give a description of the ores from the
Tobler.
LEGISLATIVE CLAIM-This mine is
situated in westerly direction from the
Phoebe Phenix hosting works. Some of
our leading citizens are interested. No
work has been done lately, but the pros
pect looks so well that it is the intention
of all the parties to resume operations in
a few weeks.
PACIFIC TUNNEL.-It presents a very
favorable appearance throughout, but,
pursuant to orders from San Francisco,
work has been temporarily suspended.
