Reports frem Silver City, Idaho Terri
tory. up to the 2Sth ult. say: The mines
near Wagontown are improving and
prospects are very favorable in that
quarter. There haze been several ship
ments Of splendid ore made from the
Henrietta mine to be worked at the
Humboldt Reduction Works at Winnie
muccs. The Pauper has also made sew
eral shipments of rich ore to the same
place. The new hosting works on Orc
Elmo are going mp rapidly, and with
large force OF men will be in full opera
ton by August LIST. Illinois Central and
Golden Chariot are also putting up new
works. The South Mountain Consoli-
dated Mining Company at South Noun
tain are putting in new engine on the
Bay State mine, and fattering reports
continue to be received from that camp.
The weather 10 very warm, and but few
snow banks are left on the hilsides.
Freight teams are crowdipg their way in
from all directions with freight.
The Gold Hill News speaking of the
Ophir mine says: Ore extracting and all
other work in this mine is suspended for
the present, until considerable section
OF the main shaft is retimbered, and nut
into proper working condition. This is
being actively done. and at the same
time the hosting and pumping machin-
cry at the surface ia being arranged for
more effective work than ever. This
machinery is VI the most massive des-
cription, and in three or four weeks,
when mining operations are actively re-
sumed in the Ophir. the famous old mine
will have every facility to make a better
record for herself than she has for years.
The Eureka Sentinel of the LIST instant
says: At the latest accounts last night
the force Of men employed removing the
debris Of the cave in the Euleka Consol.
dated had not found the bodies of either
LeAby. Duffy or Beckstead, the three
men who are buried in the cave. As
many men who can work to advantage
have been employed night and day, since
the accident, the search will be kept
up until the bodies are recovered. A
portion OF the tools With which the buried
men were working were found yesterday
afternoon, and it was thought the re.
mains would be exhumed by daylight
this morning.
The White Pine News says II. Sadler
h Co. have leased the Elko mine for six
months to Thomas flanagan and Geo.
Taylor. A force OF men are to be i'm.
mediatsly set to work in the mine. II ia
considered to be one of the best base
metal mines in the district. A large
amount Of the ore will average $500 per
ton, and portion Of it assays as HIGH
as 5000 and 500. The mine is in GOOD
working condition, and from ten 10 AZ.
teen tons can nov be taken out daily.
We are informed that the Hamilton Min.
ing and smelling Company have en-
gagged all the ore that can be taken ont
during the term OF the lease.
The Eureka Sentinel desires II under
stood that the unfortunate cave in the
Eureka Consolidated will not seriously
damage the mine. II will, of course, 70.
tard the operations for few days, but
the foreman says the injury to the prop.
erty is not OF a permanent character, and
cannot result in material loss to the com.
pany. On the contrary Il has disclosed
greater quantities Of ore than were eve,
before in sight. We deem 1t proper "a
make this statement to quiet the appre-
tensions Of shareholders and Others re.
siding at a distance, as erroneous reports
are quite liable to gain credence in cases
Of ttas kind.
Up to the cath Of June the following
mining districts had levied assessments
and paid dividands "a follovs.
