LOCAL MINING REVIEW.
The general appearance of matters and
things varied but little during the past
week. The Bank and its resumption
seems to be the barometer at present by
which the public feeling is regulated.
Many contradictory rumors have been
circulated, but, picking out the grain OF
truth from the mass of chatf, we are oil
the opinion that the action OF the Bank
of California need not have such an ex-
traordinary influence on the status OF the
camp. Authentic information states the
Bank will resume on or before the lst
proximo. If So it's we'll; yet there is
silver enough coming out of our hills
daily to be sent below in the form of bull
lion, melted, coined and sent back again
to be distributed in the form of circulat-
ing medium throughout the camp. This
independently of the Bank, This we
consider pretty solid footing, and suff-
Gent refutation to the opinion of some
that as the Bank goes so goes the coast.
Phoebe possesses too much OF the rex
pecuniarum in crude form to be Of
tiicted to any great extent by outside ill.,
huence or disaster. The usual amount
of work is being done, some OF our min
ing men on the principle that they would
rather "endure the ills they know than
fly to others that they know not of, - are
going slow and biding their time, which
is prudent and praiseworthy. We cant
properly appreciate or enjoy the sunshine
without an occasional cloudy day, and
when the present furry passes over a
healthy reaction will be found to have
taken place.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
Activity prevails throughout all depart
ments of the mine; about one hundred
and twenty-five tons of ore are daily
taken out and worked up; the thirty
stamp mill at Bullionville is gathering
away, and the Floral mill is also working
on ore from this mine. The ore-house is
full, great difficulty being experienced in
getting teams for hauling the ore. The
ore is taken mostly from the eighth and
ninth levels. The usual amount OF work
is being done in the mine; thu pump
works we'll, and fair progress is being
made. A steam brake was put on the
hosting engine Friday last. the only ees,
sation of work being one shift, which laid
off till O'Clock.

The excavation for the hosting work.
is completed and the foundations art
now being put in for the boiler. TIT
timbers are not coming in as fast AZ de
sirable, a great cause of delay beiDs
trouble in getting teams. 1t was Capt
Tyrrells intention to have the timber
all framed by this, but will whit till the
ale all in. IT'S probable by the first O
October all the requisite material will b
on hand. The usual amount of work i
on l200-foot level from the Sunni
shaft, is in 100 feet. The cross-cut

on the same level, and is in $50 feet.
