PIocHE.
Since our last, the work of sinking the
new shaft has for the present been dis
continued. The cross-cut that is being
opened towards the ledge is 2S1S feet in
length. The upper level to connect with
the old works has reached 26O feet in
length, and about :ifteen feet additional,
1t Is supposed, will serve to effect the
connection. Some considerable quantity
of ore is being taken out of the old
works by parties working on shares. By
careful sorting some very rich ore is OBJ.
tanned, which yields quite satisfactory
returns when milled. Mr.. Butler, the
new Superintendent, has taken hold of
his duties with energy and prudence,
and appears to be hopeful of obtaining
good results.
A contract has been let to o RESPONSE
BILE party to sink the old Amador shaft
an additional five hundred feet, and the
work will be proceeded with without de-
lay. The new portion of tie shaft will
be AXIS; the size of the portion already
opened to q depth of some 500 feet is
Axe. After the shaft has been completed
the new hosting works will be placed
over it. The work in the mine is pro-
ceeding as usual. Some five tons of ore
is being raised per day and sent to the
mill. The latter is being kept constantly
busy on the companys and custom rock,
and is doing good work. Superintendent
Clute yesterday shipped bullion to the
amount of $1,000.

Matters in this mine are in a very
healthy condition. The shaft is being
sunk as quickly as convenient. The
lower levels are also being opened as
rapidly as possible. The faces show
fairly. In the upper levels stopping is
being continued, and from the mine gen.
orally about twelve or thirteen tons oil
milling ore is being extracted daily. The
mill is kept constantly at work on the
company's rock, and the returns are
quite satisfactory. Mr.. James is indie
fatigable in his efforts to manage the
business of the mine and mill in as
effective and economical a manner as
possible, and we think is quite successful
in doing 50.

Has not been heard from for some time
A short time since two practical and in
dustrious men, Messrs. Bull & Leavitt
leased this mine for six months, anc
have taken out some ore that has re-
munerated them very handsomely fol
their labor. They sent nine tons Of Sc
lected ore to the Newark, formerly the
Amador Mill, and return was made o.
| 800, which shows that our mines viii
yet richly remunerate the faithful
laborer. Messrs. Bull & Leavitt con
tinue steadily at work and will soon have
another lot of ore ready for the mill
which we hope will pay them equally q.
well as the first.
But little new to report from this mine
On the lower level drifting is going both
on the eastern and westerly sides. The
face in the latter looks very well, that or
the eastern side is not quite so favora.

being opened in the same direction, and
some stopping is being carried on. The
returns from the last crushing were sat

the mine are flattering.

The appearance of the drifts in this
mine indicate some slight improvement
The streaks of pay ore are more frequen,
and OF a better quality, and it is thought
a more settled and valuable portion o.
the ledge is about being opened. II
other respects the mine offers but littl.
for remark. In the upper level the mer
are still at work extracting ore on shai es
and both the company and the workmer
appear likely TO profit by the arrange
ment.
The work of connecting the two shafts
is almost completed, and when effected
will thoroughly ventilate the mine. Dur
ing the past week sinking on the shat
has been continued. The ledge still
looks well. and affords considerable ore

Little is going on in this mine bu

the face shows considerable ore. Sink
ing the winze has been discontinued.

The lower drift being driven toward

is being steadily opened. No furthe
change to remark.
