LOCAL MINING REVIEW,
MEADOW VALLEY.

MEADOW VALLEY.
In a hasty talk with D. NJ Tyrrell yes
terday, for the purpose of getting our re-
view in proper shape, he informed US
that there has been no change for the past
week in the working of the chloriders in
the Meadow Valley mine. The 520-foot
level is being explored and prospected,
and fair results are expected. The east
drift in the summit shaft is in two hun
dred and seventy feet, the face being
in hard formation. The buildings over
the hosting works are assuming shape,
and it will not be long before the place
for the hosting works will be we'll
covered.
The same force Of men are employed
in this mine, and the increase of ore
steadily progresses; the lower level is
pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
The upper levels are displaying fair
amount of ore. and the increase on the
dump is shipped to the mill as fast as
teams can be engaged for that purpose.
The changes that have taken place in the
mine have been such as warrant no real
excitement, but the proceeds are guar
antee that the proceeds will pay all of
the expenses of working. and that there
will be no more assessments levied.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
On winze No. on the ninth level the
progress made by the miners is slow the
depth obtained being about 100 feet.
The formation continues about the same,
no ore being carried in the vein. The
drifts in various parts of the mine are
being pushed ahead as rapidly as possible
with The exception of the west drift on
the ninth level which has been discon-
tinued. The general appearance of the
mine continues good and the ore that9is
being extracted Is OF very fair quality.
ANTILLES.
The recently appointed Superintendent
of this mine, T. R. Butler, reports that
the main shaft is being sunk as rapidly
as circumstances will permit; that the
whim is in good working order, and that
the shaft Is being sunk at the rate of four
feet week; rock rather hard and prog
ress slow in consequence. The forma.
ton in the shaft through which they are
now working Is quartzite.
NEWARK MILL.
The principal business of the Newark
mill for the past week has been on chic
ride ore from the Meadow Valley mine.
Ore from the Raymond & Ely mine has
been placed at this mill, and az soon as
the Meadow Valley ore is worked the
Raymond 4 Ely ore will be started upon.

the youthful knights proceeded to inves.

commanded the driver to turn back and
make himself scarce for the space Of
half an hour and all would be well.
