ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES
LOCAL MINING REVIEW.
RAYMOND AND ELY

The workers on the round house or
engine shed are making the most OF the
fine weather, aud will have it entirely
rooted in by tonight. The usual amount
OF job and mine work is going on in the
foundry and machine shop. In the mine
the prospecting and dead WORK goes reg
ularly on, an average of eighty
tons of ore being daily sent to Bull
lionville over the Nevada Central Rail
road. In the west drift on the
eighth level the face shows the same,
an advance OF some ten feet having been
made during the week; the west drift on
the ninth level is being pushed ahead,
still showing a strong, well-defned vein
carrying fair quantity of ore. 1t is
thought the broken formation west of
the winze on the eighth level will con-
tinue on down to the ninth and probably
lower. In the farthest west winze on
the ninth level, which is now down
thirty feet, vein of grade ore has
been found, and q connection made with
the Wine sunk from the eighth level.
The drift west of the eleventh level is
being pushed ahead. the face being
scanned and growing softer as it advances.
The ore in the eighth and ninth levels
shows 10 perceptible change. The pump
runs steadily, without much notable
change in the depth of the water. A
quicker stroke and increased power would
drain the shaft in twenty four hours, but
it is deemed best not to run the pump to
its fullest capacity just yet.
MEADOW VALLEY.
The north crosscut from the east drift
from the Summit shaft on the 1200-foot
level is still being advanced. A drift is
also being run from tho top of the raise
on the 500 foot level; the face is at pres
ent in quartzte. The delay in the cree
ton of the hosting works on this mine
is hut temporary, the future mode of
working depending III considerable de-
gree on the action of the water in the
Raymond & Ely during the Winter
ELY COMPANY.
Work is progressing vigorously on this
mine Three shafts are being sunk about
70 feet apart, ore being in all of the
shaft; are also trenching and following
the ledge. The ledge is getting wider in
the main shaft as depth is attained. In
one shaft the formation is solid galena,
in one of the others it is pure quartz
mixed with sulphurets. Assays of the
different specimens of ore average from
500 to $345.
Have increased the force of men work
ing in the mine and are extracting ore as
rapidly as possible and shipping it tc
the Floral mill, which will be started as
soon as the material is received, by A. J
Blair The lower diff il not yet in OF
the ledge. Night shifts will now be pu
on Tor the purpose Of running this drift
little faster. The mine looks well.
PIoCHE.
Usual force employed; drift east $50
loot level in 1o2 feet; ledge large. strong
and solid, in many respects moro prom
isipg than at last report Cross-cut from
iooo-ioot station in 80 feet; will reach tn
iedge during the week. In the working
on the oG0foot level there is no materia
change.
AMERICAN FLAG.
Nothing of importance to note in TIL
mine. Considerable ore is being ey
tracted throughout the mine, also ouanti
lies OF milling ore. The base ore on tn
lower level looks favorable. The mil
still continues busily employed runnin
on ore from the mine.
NEWARK MILL.
The Newark mill has been runnino n
past week on chloriders, ore from IN
Meadow Valley mine. The percentao
to which the ore was worked was prett
high. r''''
PIoCHE WEST EY.
Work Is continued on this NINA r,,
ming on the ledge; looks favorable on III
back ledge, and are rapidly getting IN
mine into good order for extracting or,
ANTILLES.
The main shaft has now attained
depth OF lao feet. A whim is in success
ful operation and with the aid of q
workmen in the shaft good proores
is being made.
FLORAL MILL.
The Floral mill will start ND We,
shortly, as soon as material arrives. n,
