LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

The cracking whip and jingling mule
have given place to the iron-horse, Which
shrieks and snorts in conscious power
and the dusty teams toiling downto bull
lionyills find their occupation gone. The
road is in fine condition and the rolling
stock in good order. Regular trains
commenced running on the 25th instant,
and everything will get settled down to
its place in few days. More work has
been done in the camp during October
than i'll the preceding month, and less
in the outside districts, active operations
being temporarily suspended in several
of the outlying claims. Several new i'm
provements are under way, notably the
Meadow Valley hosting works, new
boiler at the Raymond Il Ely and other
minor projects. The shipment of bull

port, aggregates SAL, GA The shipments
for the month of October amount to

sumption of work are favorable.
