poets of Phoebe are assuming brighter
aspect every day, and what with new
discoveries and locations and old claims
being worked, the probability of its ex-
ceeding its former importance grows
more certain as time passes. The hills
are full of prospectors. many of them
with good lodges and all with unbounded
confidence in their ultimate success.
Since our last report but few features of
interest have arisen in the working of
the Raymond & Ely. Everything in
connection with the mine is moving
along satisfactorily. The late temporary
reyerses and mishaps have been entirely
overcome. The western ground is being
worked with the same degree OF success
as hitherto, considerable amount of ore
being raised and shipped to Bullionvile.
Wines are sinking in the sth and 9Th
levels. The pump isTorking satisfacto-
rily and uninterruptedly, the amount of
water in the shaft being trifling and no
longer interfering with the force which
is constantly employed in sinking. The
shaft is now 1917 feet deep.
AMERICAN FLAG M. & NJ. Co., Jno. R.
James Superintendent.-The main shaft
is II feet below the 10th station, making
it 1911 feet depth. The shaft is running
down on an incline of II degrees to the
south, which throwns it sixty feet south
of the vein. The vein is very nearly
vertical with well-defined hanging and
foot walls. The ore is changing in char
acter at the lowest points worked, show
ing considerable base ore assaying from
800 to $3.50 per ton. They are drifting
west on the Sd level and striking consid.
cradle ore in different parts OF the mine
The ore extracted is piled on the ore
dump preparatory to having it worked
when sufficient is on hand to keep the
mill running regularly.

The ledge crops out at the discover,

is now GO feet deep, which follows th,
hanging wall of the ledge. The opinion
of all who have examined it is that
body of rich ore will soon be reached.
