of the mine there is little change to note.
The works are steadily progressing. the
ore is being extracted and every prospect
of q permanent supply is established.
NJ. Tarpey, the worthy Superintendent,
spares no pains or trouble to work the
mine to the best advantage. and ere long
We think his exertions will afford the
shareholders very handsome return.
PORTLAND.
This mine is a sort of pet Of ours.
The men connected with and owning in
it are SO energetic and persevering, that
good fortune should crown their efforts.
From all appearances this is likely to be
the case. The ore is looking we'll, and
there is plenty of it. On the 20O-foot
level considerable ore is being taken out.
The winze that is being sunk from this
level appears very encouraging. Mr..
Blair, the Superintendent, informs us
that he will commence to ship ore to the
Amsdor mill ON Monday. We are glad
to record this fact, for the Portland boys
went through a long period of tribula-
ton, and We now rejoice that they will
soon be handsomely rewarded.
PioCHE.
There is nothing new to report in the
condition Of this mine. Capt. Nelson,
the respected Superintendent, is con-
Quoting matters with careful eye to
economy, aud speedy opening of the
company's ground. The new shaft is
72S feet deep, and the work of sinking is
going on as vigorously as ever. The
western drift from this shaft has reached
a length of $50 feet, and the contractors,
Messrs. Given, Hunter and Freeman, are
pushing it forward as rapidly as possible.
In the old works, the chloriders are at
work on shares, and are doing well foI
themselves and the company.
NEWARK.
There are from 80 to 40 men working
in this mine, principally employed in
the Sd, 4th and 9Th levels. Considerable
ore is being taken out, but is accumulat.
ing in the shutes as the facilities for
hauling have been SO few, or rathel
there has been none at all. So soon as
the roads are improved it is probabl,
that a large amount of ore will be sent
to the mill. Mr.. Clute, the Superintend
emit, has returned to Phoebe, and is now
conducting matters with his accustomed
vim and judgment.
PAGE AND PANACA.
This week there is little to be said abou
this mine, save only that the ledge look
extremely we'll. The winze from tn,
main level is being pushed, and tn,
Superintendent. Mr.. Mcdonald. is doinl
ali he can to expedite the work. Their,
is no doubt but the ledge struck in tn
Page and Panaca is an extension OF tn
Raymond 4 Ely, and will do much I,
restore the reputation and prosperity o
the camp as producing locality
SILVER PEAK.
The work is progressing in this min
as usual. A fine body of ore has beel
developed. which improves 80 far as ex
plorations have been made. We hav
always had a sort of weakness for thi
mine, and believe that it will yet prove
magnificent property for its owners
Mr.. Yule, the Superintendent, is doinI
his best, and the very best to develop
the mine as rapidly as possible, and I,
show its true value.
We are glad to say that we have som,
reliable authority to announce that tn
work on this mine will very shortly b.
resumed. We are informed that Mr.
Yule will probably receive the appoint
ment as Superintendent. We are glat
of this, for Mr.. Yule is an energetic an,
reliable man. If any thing is in q min
he will be most likely to find it. Tn
Caroline Company could not make bet
ter choice.
No change to be reported Work i
proceeding as usual with no new devel
opments.
