LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

Below will be found the principal
points OF development in the various
mines since our last report. A notice
able feature is the intended change of
the Raymond Il Ely 30stamp mill from
Bullionville to Phoebe. That the move
will prove a success in all that is claimed
for it there is no doubt. The average
amount of work is being done; nothing
of special import has taken place during
the week. Everyone is pitching in "
and an occasional isolated growl is I'M
noticed in the general hum of industry.
Several outside districts are attracting
considerable attention, and will no doubt
in time assume Importance ami add to
the material prosperity of the camp.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
The water in the main Shaft is still
the problem for solution. but develop
ments during the past wesk gives reason
for believing that the chief difficulty lies
in the present. The formation of the
ground has given evidence from time to
time of the existence of considerable
reservoir of water below the twelfth
level, this has been reached, the pump is
now at work upon it, and the result so
far demonstrates that it can be overcome
with far greater ease than was antici-
pated. The other operations throughout
the mine give most fattering indications.
The winze between the tenth and elev-
enth levels shows at the depth of sixty
feet an ore vein of about four feet in
width and assaying S512 to the ton. The
daily quota is being raised and the gen.
eral appearance of things is exceedingly
satisfactory. We are authorized to state
that Capt. Day is now awaiting advices
from the Bay relative to the transfer of
the 30stamp mill from Buliouville to
Phoebe. The reasons for this change are
various; the principal benefits arising
from the change being the saving in the
cost OF transportation, the utilization of
the water now allowed to 60 to waste,
and the most desirable change in tho
health of the workmen. The men EN-
ployed at Bullionville are greatly
troubled with ague and will no doubt be
pleased to get up here where the climate
Is equitable and bracing. Just how soon
this move will be inaugurated we arc at
present unable to say, but it will take
place as soon as the necessary arrange
ments are perfected.
AMERICAN FLAG.
The usual number of men employed
on this mine sinking the main shaft, and
are making fair progress. Are extract
ing considerable ore from the second and
thlra levels, and rs soon as the mill is
ready to run will have plenty ore on
hand to keep it running. The main
shaft Is now down below the tenth level
10 feet; intend making station at the
twelfth, l,2U0 feet from the surface.
The mine generally looks better, and in
TACT presents marked improvement to
what it did when the Superintendent
was away.
