RAYMOND AND ELY.-In spite of acct
dents and setbacks there is no reasona-
Bile cause to doubt that our mining pros
poets are daily becoming brighter and
more reliable. We say this, not so much
from any particular development that
has been made during the last few days,
but because the general tone of all con-
cerned in the welfare OF mines is more
hopeful and steadfast. The western
ground of the Raymond & Ely looks as
we'll if not better than it did last week.
The explorations show conclusively that
the great vein extends an immense dis
lance through the ridge, and that at q
very great depth it becomes settled and
continuous. This is the most encourag-
ing feature of the present developments
of the camp, the fact that the great silver
bearing ledge is found in the deepest
and most remote recesses of the noun
tain chain that surrounds our town.
From this ground considerable amount
of remunerative ore, say from 30 to 40
tons is being raised daily in making the
requisite openings, stopping not being
commenced. This ore is being shipped
to the mills, and has, since they COM
menced crushing, produced over $50 900.
The work of sinking the main shaft has
been stopped. A portion of the pump
ing machinery needed renewal and it
was thought best to wait until the requi-
site pieces could be sent from below.
They will shortly be received, put into
place and operations resumed as usual.
ha If e.
this moment is very bright, and the
long eclipse from which Phoebe mines
have suffered so much may be said to
have ended.
TO-DAY H. Horst, the well-known
and respected proprietor of the New
York Bakery, will reopen his establish
ment that has for the past week been
closed for repairs. The building has
been greatly improved, the roof has been
raised, the floor renewed, and the in
terror, as we'll as the exterior, has been
papered, painted and decorated in the
handsomest style. The dining-room
now presents bright. pleasant and in
wiling appearance. The private rooms
attached are neat and nice as can be.
As to the fare, Brother Horst arrange
ments in that respect are too well-known
to need comment He will give his GUS
toners the best that can be had, pre-
pared in the neatest and most acceptable
manner All his old patrons will be
glad to hear of the announcement that
he ia again ready to supply their wants
AMERICAN FLAa.-The main shaft il
sunk to depth OF ~ feet below the tenth
level. The shaft is now in very hare
rock and the progress has been necessa
rily slow. Considerable work has beer
done on the third level in the way o
prospecting besides extracting ore tina
was IN sight. The mine will now b.
stopped for a short time, in consequence,
OF having to procure and fit a new piston
rod to the engine, which is being pre-
pared at the Raymond e Ely machin
shops.
Notwithstanding is still continues
on the Amador ground. The east an
west drifts on both levels are being pros
ecuted as heretofore. The ore strea
reported last week still continues pre-
senting the same width and appearance
In consequence of some breakage of tb
machinery, the mill has not been at wor
during the greater portion of last weei
The necessary repairs have been effecte
and the mill started yesterday on or
from the Alps.

SILVER PEAK.-Pay ore is being take
