or working level of this mine before this
notice reaches our readers. The new
winze has already reached depth of 40
feet, and all in ore assaying from one to
seventeen hundred dollars per ton, the
ledge being fully five feet wide. Both in
the east and west winzes, and midway
between them. the same character of ore
is found. The new winze is being sunk
Tor the purpose of developing and prov.
ing the continuance of body of ore run
ming easterly and westerly az least a
distance of 700 feet. No Stopping has

The new shaft has now reached n
depth OF 69l feet and is progressing as
fast as circumstances well permit. A
DRIFT has been commenced $50 feet from
the surface, is in about II feet. In the
old workings ore continues to be ex-
tracted on shares. Captain ]. Nelson is
managing matters with bis usual care and
reports little or no changes, except the
above, from our last weeks review.
NEWARK.
A few days since ground was broken
for sinking new shaft about 800 feet to
the south west of the old works. The
work Of sinking will be prosecuted with
much energy. The machinery for the
new hosting works is very fine being, as
we were informed, duplicate Of the new
machinery on the Raymond & Ely. In
the old workings the prospecting and de.
veioping the mine is being pursued yery
steadily. No ore is being brought to the
surface at present.
HUM AND HUNT.
The work of opening the drift from
No. 7 Meadow Valley is proceeding, and
is now over 1927 feet in length. 1t is
running through granite, which is
thought to be the foot wall Of the ledge.

PORTLAND.
The prospects of this mine are as en-
couraging as they were when we made
our last weeks report. They are sinking
the winze and also opening drifts for the
purpose Of extracting the ore, the work
of taking out which will be commenced
in earnest on the LIST prox. At present
only the ore met in the workings is taken
out, but after the close OF this month
STOPPING will be in order.

As We yesterday made an extended
report of the condition of this mine, we
have but little to add, save that we yes.
terday saw certificates Of some assays
which had been made from ore taken out
by disinterested party which varied
little from $500 per ton. Pretty good
ore that.
The incline OF this mine is now down
$50 feet, at this point very fine vein of
ore has been found which presents q
very handsome appearance. 1t is in
tended to open station so soon as prac-
ticable, and then proceed to develop and
extract this portion of the vein.

enterprises are being quietly worked; but

Work is going on steadily, but little
