LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

results. The startling announcements
from San Francisco of ten days since
have Quilted down and our mining camp
ia assuming its usual aspect of compiac-
eney. Late reports of this last week
show that the early resumption Of the
Rank of California is a settled fact This
item OF news has infused great con-
fidencs in all circles of business, and as
pay day of different mines approaches,
the effect of the distribution of $4,000
TO $50, 900 will be felt in beneficial way
by all. Phoebe may congratulate itself
on escaping the storm as easily as il has.
The Raymond e Ely, and other mines,
will make better showing in the ship
ment of bullion this month than has
been done for some time back. Conf
dence is all that il, wanted, and there
seems to be no lack of 1t in our mines.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
The rising of about Is tons Of ore
daily ia going on as usual. Everything
is working all right in the bottom of the
the shaft, the water being oil pumped
out. No new developments in the shaft
Work is going on rapidly on the various
levels, with the exception OF the tenth,
on which only two hands ara at present
employed. Have had to stop work on
the winze going from the 1000 to 200
foot level on account OF the water COM
ing in so fast; will resume on it when
the eleventh level comes up with ii. The
ore extracted from the various levels as
says from $40 as high as $4,000. Have
recently knocked off twenty hands for a
short time in consequence of,there being
no dead work to do at present. The
machinery is all working first-class and
the general appearance of the mine il
good giving great confidence to every
one in the camp as TO its future pros
poets.
GROOM DISTRICT.
From J. B. Osborne, who has Just
come to Phoebe on business of purchas-
ing supplies, etc., We learn thar prospect
ing on the mines is going on daily; also
working and making roads to enable
supplies to be brought into the camp;
has thirty men employed. Has started
a main working shaft on the Conception
mine, and is in Phoebe with the intention
of purchasing machinery to put on it..
Mr.. Osborne has recently purchased a
Burley drill, which is on the way TO
Groom from Palisade. This drill is in
extensive use on the mines of the Com
stock; it works with an air compressor,
and will drill foot minute. At Groom
District there is fine body OF timber,
and saw-mill is to be erected immedi-
ately. A furnace will be erected during
the coming Winter. The prospects Of
the camp look well.
MEADOW VALLEY.
No change of note to report in this
mine. Are running the l,200-foot level
east from the Summit shaft, also run
ming two cross-euts for prospecting pur-

daily is being worked at the Newark
mill, and some of it at the Floral mill.
Are daily receiving timbers for the hoist
ing works building. A large lot of heavy
timbers are on the road between Phoebe
and Alpha; the difficulty being to get
teams to haul them.
Nothing new TO report from this nina.
The work Of extracting ore still con.
tinues; are increasing the amount being
taken out. The levels are being run as
usual, and the men are progressing slowly
with the work, owing to the rock bsing
extremely hard. Expect to strike the
ledge in about ten days if the progress ia
in the same ratio as formerly. The gen.
eral appearance of the mine is good, and
the ore works satisfactory.
