the works OF the company. Alter ar
irving at the shaft. We committed our
selves to the mercy of bucket and wire
cable. and descended into the zimmerman
regions of the lower depths. We landed
safely and speedily At the l64-foot level,
and from thence continued our eYplora-
tions. After traversing corss-cut of
some considerable length, we entered
upon the scene of the present operations.
While Mr.. Blair was absent in Carson
during the winter attending to his legis-
latiye duties, during that interval those
left in charge had apparently almost
reached the ledge but had not quite cut
it. Since Mr.. Blair's return his superior
knowledge of the location and mining in
general, enabled him to interpret with
certainty and success the obscure signs
revealed by nature in the profounder re-
cesses. and led him to search for and
find a having and continuous ledge. The
result of Mr.. Blair's explorations must
have gratified his most sanguine hopes,
for he discovered the prolongations of q
ledge that is not only rich, but seems to
be permanent. 1t varies from four to six
feet in width, with pay streak in it
varying in size aud richness from two to
three feet, and from 1922 to over 5000 in
ASSAY vPlae. Three assays made the
other day from ore that was taken out by
us, gave the following results:
Sl22.5l, $3i5.59 and 1857. SO. The as
says were made by Mr.. A. e. Arnold an
assayer of repute and reliability Such
returns show conelusfyely. tlat the,ledge
which is now being exploitated by the
Alps Company is one of great present
value with every prospect of probable
increase in its worth. The rich ore is
being carefully taken down and preserved
for reduction. That of lesser value after
being closely assorted is sent TO the mill,
and all grades give more than satisfactory
results. To sum up in few words. The
present condition of the mine is not only
most hopeful but is also profitable, for
the expenses of whole years prospect
ing has been paid by the proceeds of the
mine, with the exception of one assess
ment. AT present, there is a well defined,
continuous and richly yielding ledge
from which the best results may reason
ably be anticipated. In. conclusion we
may remark that without disparaging
others in the slightest degree, the pres
ent prospects of the Alps is greatly
owing to Mr.. Blair's skill and thorough
knowledge of the vein formation of the
locality, and his business generally. We
had almost forgot TO name, that guam
tity of base ore is being raised from
another portion of the mine and disposed
of at profitable rates. Altogether, there
seems to be little doubt but the Alps will
be heard of favorably in the future.
