,ocAL MINING REVIEW.
... Week Ending Jan. 10, 1874.
:, our rounds yesterday gathering
AT. upon which to base review Of the
.,;D;ne situation in Ely District. we were
.,;ssd TO observe an increased activity
o. mining enterprises generally, with a
corresponding increased faith in the fu-
,,rs of the camp. The holidays fairly
.~.r work has been resumed in real
0ood earnest, and the week just closed
-. b.ep characterized by activity an en-
...r in the various branches of mining.
. .i,iks made in the Caroline mine had
A.. stfsct to run the stock Of that mine
:, 10 the extent OF 500 or GOO per cent.
,uob, depression was observed yester-
,,r lint those best fitted to judge cor
..c,lv regard the new development in
chat mine as a permanent one. Aside
from the strike in the Caroline nothing
has occurred to create any special inter
cat but the confidence expressed and
felt in the mines of the district generally
affords Justification for the investment Of
capital and for persistent efforts looking
TO the rapid development Of our mines.
Our review this week comprises notices
of all the principal mines from which
r.ports could BIO obtained. Phoebe
stocks have held their own this week in
the San Francisco Stock Board. The
San Juan excitement continues, and par
ties are preparing FROM time to time to
try their fortunes in the regions in
Southwest Colorado.
MEADOW VALLEY.
Work in this mine is progressing regu-
larly in the several drifts and shafts.
No. 8 shaft is down 100 feet below the
tenth station. and drift has been started
from the eleventh station. The west
drift on the tenth station is in 104 feet,
and continues as promising as when we
noticed it last week. The east drift on
the ninth station il in 425 feet. The
east drift on the eighth station 10 in 23S
feet. A winze has been sunk from that
DRIFT down to the VENTS feet. The
east drift on the 520-foot level is in 500
feet, aud in less than 80 feet it is expect
ed that the body Of ore being worked
from the 620-foot level will b inter-
sected. The Summit shaft is down 900
feet, and sinking is progressing. Owing
to the continued bad state of the roads
the ore dump has not yet been cleared.
WASHINGTON AND CREOLE.
Since our last review nothing of any
special interest has transpired. Sinking
on the wines is progressing well, the
ore in the bottsm-rich chloride-being
from one and q half to two feet wide.
Connection has been made between the
prospect and west wines by drift, Civ
ing greater circulation of air and more
thoroughly ventillating the mine. Same
number of men as at previous report still
employed. The Mazeppa shaft is being
sunk rapidly under contract let last week.

Sinking the Wine on the south vein,
and drifting east on the same. The ap-
pearance of the mine was never better,
giving promise of being producing one
in very short time. Nearly all OF the
stock is in the hands of its original loca.
tors. who hold it in the belief that the
mine will richly reward them for their
investment.

surface Of the ground. The drift is in
pure quartzits, and looks as encourag.
ing as it is possible for it or any Other
mine to do.
Depth Of shaft 700 feet. At the bot
tom Of the shaft ledge two feet wild,
has been struck. Assays Of ore takel
from this point, $125 to the ton. Sink
