LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

The regular amount of work goes on
with indications of renewed activity IN
mines now idle as soon as necessary ar
rangements are completed. Considerable
outside work is being done in anticipa-
ton of break in the weather before
lonI. The locomotive will probably
make its appearance at this end of the
line about the 30th, the contractors for
repairs of the railroad being almost
through. The shipment of bullion for
the week ending Oct. 23rd is S32, 1874, a
slight increase over last weeks amofn,
RAYMOND AND ELY.
Regular quantity of ore daily taken out,
same grade as heretofore, considerable of
the lower grade being sent to Salt Lake
and yielding good returns. Nothing
special to report in the workings Of the
mine, the indications being, as men
toned last week, that the main natural
reservoir of water is exhausted and the
future trouble from this cause less mat
ter Of delaying annoyance. The pump
ing engine has run steadily during the
week with the exception of "a hours
delay caused by the breaking of nine
cogs in the large spur wheels. Before
the breaking of the cogs the water had
been pumped down to the bottom so
that the miners tools which had been in
the bottom for over q month could be
taken out. They presented a very rusty
appearance when brought to the surface.
The pump had been run eleven stroke S
per minute from September 80 to Octo-
Der 22d, when the cogs broke in the
spur wheel, and during that time it is
estimated twelve million gallons of water
had been pumped to the surface, IA dis
lance Of over 1850 feet.
ALPS.
During the past week have been hau,
ing ore to the Floral mill and yesterday
crushing was commenced; the results

stopped ON the lower DRIFT in this min,
last week on account Of having to hois
SO much dirt; if work was continued
night shift would have to be put on fol
that purpose. Will commence again OIL
the lower drift to-day. The appearance
OF the mine is good; the amount OF or
extracted and shipped to the mill TO
working large, and the prospects favor
able.
