Nothing of startling import has &C.
Cured during the past week, and the
camp keeps on the even tenor of its way.
Several of our merchants have left, and
others are leaving, for San Francisco and
the East, to purchase Fall goods. The
amount of work done continues about
the same. The heated term has appre-
cable influence on all branches OF indus
try, and the present is our dnllest time
Work on the claims on the outside dis
tricts has fallen off some. but will be
shortly resumed with augmented energy
At present We are simply at stand
When the prospective Improvements and
additional auxilaries are put into play,
the substantial showing will be favora-
Bile one. The amount of bullion shipped
by Wells, Fargo & Co. for the month of
July was 1922. liz Al. which represents
considerable portion of the amount ex-
tracted.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
A temporary arrangement in the pump
has caused the cessation of the work of
sinking in the main shaft for the present.
The cause of the stoppage is believed to
be that one of the nuts of the rod coming
loose dropped off, and the suction being
impaired, the plunger was unable to
work. The pump was started at 0 CLOCK
Friday evening, and at noon yeste rday
the water was lowered twelve feet. The
winze between the tenth and eleventh
levels is down forty feet, the ore vein as
far us developed being of the same thick
ness and quality. The west winze be-
tween the eighth and ninth levels is sew
enty five feet, and looks equally well.
On the 9th ultimo bullion was shipped
to the amount of $62, 5000. A further
shipment Of $40. 800 was anticipated
would be made this morning. The daily
yield of ore continues at the usual
amount of seventy-tive tons, and. with
the exception of the temporary setback
occasloned by the detection of the pump.
Ing machinery, everything is working
satisfactorily III and around the mine.
