thcV uO III present. The ores have moi
only increased in extent but i'm oua
ity and value, and the most noticpa-
BILE features connected with these quail
tiles are that in nearly all the mines of
the district the ore bodies. as far as de-
teioped, have a downward trend, and
the ores found to be richer at The lowest
depths than they were at any pre-
ccding point in the descent. This is
the ease rs regards the Ruby Hill
properties, but it is particularly the
case with

have suffered little change in and

1t will not bc out of place. under this
head, to correct an error unwittinglv
committed under the heal of "Divi-
dendS," in writing up our last weeks
report. Referring to the number of
dividends declared and paid last YEARLY
the Eureka Consolidated Company we
inadvertently mentioned that for that
time it paid but two of 81 each.
whereas, rs we have since aScertained.
1t di>lur>ed a total of S2ON. 900 instead
of Sl0N.WW. as we stated. making juur
dividends of 81 each. Tnis nmcmic

company. but also to the interests of
tho district, which it has so Ion, and
largely represented.

soon be leSscned. now that the roads
are in better condition. The mine is
looking and doing well under the pres
mi management, and the ore reserves
have been very materially increased
since our last report concerning it.
Everything in and around the mine is
in admirable order and We have no
doubt that the summer results will
justify all we have SAID in relation to
its worth and ~perinenancy.

mine to the Hoosac furnace on last
Wednesday,. The winZe is about 10
feet deep, through very fine ore. all of
which has to he blasted. The DRIFT
running east from the third level is
making considerable progress. having
penetrated softer ground about the
middle of the week, which will enable
it to reach its objective point long ere
the Wine touches it.
THE CNDElsRERG
Is working about 10 men. Much can-
moi be done before the first of May, at
which time, Mr.. Davis thinks, he will
be able to haul one. The mine is, as
far AS we can learn, looking we'll and
gives much promise for the future.

Owned by Riley Il Mckenzie, is to be
started up about the first of thc month.
This is Il valuable property and future
operations will prove il TO be such.

Consists in the success that has attend

turned from there yesterday, we learn
the following interesting particulars:
