the W ctA h-hs&AhS - - 49, -
Notwithstanding the continued stormy
and disagreeable weather during the past
week. mining enterprises in this district
have been pushed ahead vigorously, and,
although the storm prevailed yesterday
IN such an extent as to dampen the ardor
of the most hopeful to some extent, We
were glad to observe a spirit of unwaver-
inc confidence in the future of the camp.
And unless mining men are deceiving
themselves sadly. the coming month will
witness a marked improvement in min
inc generally in Ely District. About the
usual number of men are kept at work in
the mines Of tue district, and under
ground work is progressing as in the
nleasantest weather. The mills at Bull
Ionville, Dry Valley and in the Canyon
are kept busy converting ores from Ely
District into bullion.
Owing to the continued bad state of
the roads, there were only three ship
ments during tie week, carrying off
total of So, 47023.

ing at the rate of l6 feet week. At the
