Since our issue of las. weeks review,

spuial import to chronicle this week
in addition to the mines noticed in our
last report. However, work has been
vigorously prosecuted upon the vari-
Gus developments then under way.

THE ordinary mo lUtony has not been
disturbed by any fresh or important
strikes. Sufficient work, however, has
been done upon the recent discoveries
81 To- fully demonstrate their value and
S&extcnt. Particularly is this the cae G
81 IN the eastern workings of the latter
company. The winZe noticed then has
ssincr attained Il depth of forty feet,
athrough remarkably fine ore. Opera
&tionS have been somewhat retarded of

III shaft on the third level to strike the
IL dip of the aforesaid Wine.
ia DIvIDENDS
n Having been paid last year by both
Il the X X and Eureka Consolidated. it
Al is almost certain that they will be re-
$ imcl soon again. Their mines were
a never in a healthier state than they
are now, and are likely to he for many

s mer company sold readily last season
at 81, and such as bought at tina, and
even Il less price, received four divi-
4 deniS o. cents each, aygrcgating
q 10000. With the present fine body OF
4 ore, AS vet untouched for smelling.
there exists no good reason to show
why they should not reach 81. To
that figure we believe they will GO, be

we believe, pay two dividends of 81

afford to diSbur>e SlO0,MO then. it will

was ut that time. Having seen it no,ed

notion WAS ever entertained.
THE DUNDERBERG
Is now Il home institution, Mr.. Ucync-
mann being sole owner of it and the
.Jink>villc and Plciadc>. 1t is likely i.
will soon be incorporated under the
laws OF California. 1t Is with very
,in"rrr pleasure we IL this change.
Eureka can no fail to be the bpnc-
llrlary, for it gives to eranothcr home
hulliun producing company, whose
earnings will add largely to the wealth
and stability of her III ure.
Captain Platter, under whose able
management this valuable property is
l"in4 extensively and satisfactorily
Neloprd. has recently informed us
that orders nave been given to Il san
Francisco firm 10 manufacture an en-
Ginc and boiler, and the other nece>-
>arN hoisting gear, which are to he
placed over the old Dunderberg i'll
'iiht ABOUT the ISL Oh next June. his
4 enterprise will mark Il new era in
things at die Dundcrberg. and effect a
necessary and much needed reform in
thr method of %elevating ore, etc. The
liilpu an engine and boiler original v
placed there, and now in use about Il
year. are to be moved to the old Pleia-
dc shaft, to the south, which is to be
utilized the coming summer. Here,

good service, and very materially AS
