Far the Week Ending JAM a. is'f'

an. Week Ending Jan. 24, 1874.
The mining outlook presents much
.,ore CHEEKY aspect at present writing
Nan at any time for several weeks past.
90. we're unable to find any one engaged
~ mining enterprises who felt at all dis
,aortened. Notwithstanding the persist
=, efforts of the San Francisco Chron-
;,ls TO create the impression and estab-
rsb in the public mind the conviction
.ho, the mines Of Ely District are on
,b.ir last legs. Whatever effect the over
,hrov of the chief mine in the district
NAV have elsewhere, it is pretty certain
"a our mind, after canvassing the situa-
linn with those best informed on the sub
iset that each mine in the district must
stand or fall on its own merits. This,
in our Judgment. is the only rational
manner to view the case. Even il it be,
az the Chronicle says, that the principal
mine in the district is worked out, it
should not, and cannot properly, damage
the prospects of any other mine. Wher
eyer.the prospect justifies the investment
Of capital and labor there effort will be
and should be made, and wherever devel-
opments are made which ought to enhance
the value of the stock Of any compasy
there we hope to see such a result.
It is far better for this caup and all
others that the price Of stock should be
governed entirely by the actual prospects
aud developments than to leave mining
stocks wholly at the within and caprice
o.! San Francisco sharps, who care moth.
ing about developments or what becomes
Of those who toll and labor in the fur
thelance of the general mining interest.
1t is worthy OF mention by way of in
PRODUCTION to our present review, that
the Newark is fast developing into No.
mine The specimen obtained yester-
day bears evidence of this fact.
The mines at Highland havs passed
into other and ADLER hands, and work
will be resumed in that district at an
early day.
From Bristol We have nothing definite,
but we are at liberty to say that the indi.
cations are that the mining interest in
that district will soon receive an impetus
which will rapidly develop the mines
there.
Both Highland aud Bristol Districts
are near to and obtain their chief sup.
plies from Phoebe, and their develop
ment and advancement cannot fail to
increase the trade and prosperity Of this
place. ...
MEADOW VALLEY
No. SIS shaft down /, 103 feet in the
south wall of the vein. The west drift
in the tenth station is in lis feet. The
east drift on the ninth station is in 4S7
feet, the drift showing a strong vein of
quartz and very promising. The east
drift on the eighth station is in 459 feet,
aud also shows good vein OF quartz
carrying ore. The winze sunk from that
drift is 80 feet deep. and about 80 feet
further will take it down to the level OF
the ninth station. The east drift on the
500, DOT level is in 400 feet, and shows a
strong vein of quartz carrying metal.
The summit shaft is down 9l9 feet, and
is still being carried down as fast rs the
nature Of the rock will admit The usual
amount of ore is taken out daily. The
Meadow Valley mill, in Dry Valley, is
working steadily and satisfactorily.
NEWARK. ....
Sinking three wines: One from the
second to the third, another from the
third to the fourth. and another from the
last named level. Drifting east and wes
on the third and fourth levels Working
an increased number of men. The min,
still looks as promising as ever. Yes
terday afternoon large specimen
weighing 800 pounds or more, was raise,
from the Newark. This specimen is com
posed of rich carbonates, including chic
ride and galenn. 1t was with some diff
Guilty that it was brought to the surfac
without breaking 1t is pronounced b.
all who saw it as one of the finest speci
mems ever taken out of q mine in thi
district.
WASHINGTON AND CREOLE.
The west winze is now down 40 feet i
ore as described by our review OF las
week. A contract has been let to conneC
the east and west wines. and as far a
drifting has been pushed on that cor
tract ore has been found. 1t is expecte
that in the ground between those Wine
large deposit Of ore will be developed
Sinking continues on the Mazeppa shat
and it is expected that a connection wi
be made between this shaft and th
Washington & Creole works by the lot
of next month. Extracting about te
tons OF ore daily. Shipped within th
last two days 100 tons Of ore. Millin
will commence tomorrow. The usu,
force of men is kept at work.
AMERICAN FLAG.
Drifting east on the ledge struck Ia.

which has every indication OF being
permanent development. Also driftin
west from the shaft, and expect to c,

Washington and Creole mine.
PIocHE WEST EXTENSION.
Sinking the winze at the upper end
the cross drift on the 600-foot level, an

carries ore from the top, the quality ar

as the sinking progresses. The drift all
carries ore throughout. Will sink on Il

Prospects unusually promising.
