Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-07-06

Working the usual force and raising
about twelve tons daily. As this amount
of ore does not equal the capacity of the
Company mill, during part of the time
it will be opened TO custom work, and 1t
is confidently believed that no mill in the
State can render better account Of the
ores crushed by it. Last week there was
worked there eleven tons of ore from the
Excelsior Mine THAT has been lying at
the mill for long time), for Thomas
Dodd 4 Co, with the following results:
Gross tons, IL, 100000; dryage, . per
cent, llll-200O; nett tons, 10, 1l19-2O0O;
average ASSAY per ton, Sl09, 95-lO0:
value of ore, Sll5j, 45-l00; value of bull
lion, SIG, G1-l01; percentage extracted,
20. 6.
WASHINGTON 4 CREOLE.
In our review of last week after giving
tine amount OF bullion shipped from the
mine that week. viz, S6,956.91, we
stated that the shipment of the next
week would probably reach 81, 500, and
ventured the opinion that the percentage
of increase was likely to continue.
Events have justified our prediction
the bullion product this week reaching
the sum of S,S5S.73, instead of 81, 800
and that OF the coming week is estimated
OF not less than $1,000. There is no
material change to note in the slopes and
drifts. Hosting fifteen tons daily.
Force OF men at work, sixty all told.
Prospecting for new developments is
going on actively.
dAzEPPA.
The main shaft is still being sunk
with undated /vigor, and the Superin-
tendent informs rs that it is the lnten-
ton to keep steadily sinking till great
depth lat least eight hundred feet is
attained. Work on other parts of the
mine continues as usual, the same num-
Der of men being Employed as heretofore.
No striking change anywhere since our
last report,
SPRING MOUNTAIN TUNNEL.
Still sinking the Wine on No. 3, with
tiattering prospects for soon coming to
good ore. At the depth now attained,
one hundred feet, it has, as we expected,
penetrated the quartzite, the ledge re-
tanning its power and formality through
the change of formation. We look con-
fidently for very valuable development
in this quarter ere long.
MERIDIAN.
This new location, which derives its
name from being situated on the merid-
ian line which runs directly through town,
is turning out extremely well. A shaft,
sunk on the ledge to the depth of fifty
feet, reveals a ledge about two feet wide,
the assays from which have gone up in
the hundreds. 1t was discovered and
located by j, F. Miller, one of the pio-
neers of Ely District We shall watch
developments in this mine with interest.
ALADDIN
Have been timbering the main shaft
since Wednesday last-sinking for the
time being suspended. Up to that time
the ledge was markedly widening. The
character Of the ore remained unchanged.
ORIGINAL DEXTER.
Still running both drifts in ore. In the
south drift the vein is fully three feet
wide, and in the drift to the north it is
over four feet. There are about sixty
tons of ore on the dump-some of it very
high grade. We recognized considerable
/ ore that was the exact counterpart of the
rich, dark colored ore that first gave the
Alps mine the prominence it has since so
well maintained.

which for long time was suspended
has been resumed. We shall have more
to say about the Phoebe Phenix next
week.

Running a drift for the ledge from the
400 foot level with favorable indications
The rock in the face is now deeply stained
with mineral, and in all probability i
will not be long before the ledge il
reached.
LOUISE.
Drifting on narrow seam OF ore, Gu
last week in the 200-foot level. The or
is rich chloride-assays going over 500

lead to a large body of ore.

Shaft between 50 and 80 feet deer
More ore is coming in, and the genera
prospect may be said to be exceedingl

be absent about two weeks. and on hi
return work will be resumed on a large
scale.
