LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

The RESUMPTION of the Bank of Cali
fornia, the augmentation of the bullion
yield, with prospective proportional in
crease in the aggregate yield OF the pres
ent month, and general easier feeling |
in relation to money combine to give
matters liyelier aspect than of late. The
shipment of bullion for the month of
September aggregated "a bars, valued at
S10i 496 80. The proposed recon-
mencement OF work in several Of our
mines and other points of development
and improvement will of course have
favorable effect and make it lively
throughout the Fall and Winter. After
storms come Gains, and after periods OF
temporary endorsements come the re-
dictionary food of prosperity. That a
fair proportion of such welcome reaction
will be evident in Phoebe Is a matter
without doubt. The amount of work
done in the mines last week WAS mostly
of preparatory nature. When better
fixed better results may be expected.
