LOCAL MINING REVIEW,

There is but little of note to chronicle
this week, the principal event being the
disbursement of some $4,000 by vari-
Gus mining companies, which has some
what relaxed the stringency in the money
market noticeable in the last two or three
weeks. Notes from below and else W here
shadow forth probable dullness
throughout the present Winter in finance,
the consequent of the late disasters in
San Francisco and Virginia. However,
it can affect us only indirectly; the mines
continue to show rs good ii not better
than throughout the Summer; the credit
of our merchants is second to no town in
the State, and altogether we have more
cause for congratulation than the reverse
The amount of bullion shipped by Wells,
Fargo e. Co. from the 1st to the 9th in
slant, both inclusive, is 1878

The appearance of things below is
more favorable. There is about fifteen
inches of water in the shaft, which ia "a
marked decrease from last week The
usual amount of dead work is being done
with but little variation in the work, The
pump runs steadily, the annoying de-
lays of few weeks ago being obviated
as far as possible, though where there is
such momentum it's almost impossible
to prevent accidents. Between ninety
and one hundred tons of ore is daily
raised and shipped to the Bullionville
mills by the Nevada Central Railroad.
Everything on the road is working well
and giving great satisfaction. round

outside improvements are in contempa-
