PROGRESS Of THE MINES.

PROGRESS Of THE MINES.
With the exception of the short stop |
page in the Raymond Il Ely, mining
matters for the past week have offered
little change to note. AS heretofore re-
ported at the
RAYMOND AND ELY
An notwithstanding in the pumping
machinery-caused a short delay. All
damage was, however, quickly and care
fully repaired, and the pumps are now
working as we'll as ever. While making
the repairs the water in the shaft rose to
it's original level, but has since been
pumped out, and sinking resumed-the
first dirt being raised from the bottom ON
Friday night. The pumps continue to
do their work effectually and are now
throwing quite stream of water, work
ing about half their full capacity. The
drifts and wines that are being opened
present a most encouraging appearance.
They are improving in every respect.
The vein looks solid and continues to
yield much ore of quite a high-grade
with very considerable quantity of
rock of less value, but still millable
ore. Shipments to the mills con-
tinue daily. The thirty stamp
mill is now at work, and is
doing we'll. The works at the
mine are being rendered still more COM
plete by the erection of large and we'll
arranged boiler shop. What, with
foundry, machine and boiler shops, the
Raymond & Ely will be, in fact is al
ready. one of the most completely furn-
ished mining establishments in the
country. Though in the first instance
expensive to start, these facilities for the
execution of work will soon prove true
economy. The hosting works and mills
will not be dependent upon outside
sources for repairs, but will be able to
effect them on the spot, at an immense
saving of time, labor and consequent ex-
pense.
MEADOW VALLEY.
With this mine things are moving
slowly. No sinking is going on eithel
raise that is being opened from the lowe
level east from No. Three some very fin,
ore is being found, with some very favor
able indications of an increase in qaun
tity.
Little change to report. The ledge i
strong and regular, the assays of whicl
shows decided improvement.

CHIEF OF THE HILL.
Ore of very good quality is bein
raised from this mine, and sufficient i
quantity to defray the expense of deve
oping the ledge. The prospecting wor
presents favorable signs.
