local MINING REVIEW.

Owing to no Eureka stage having left
pioehe since April I7th, the bullion ship
men.s for the past week have been very
light, there being only one shipment
amounting to $lS,927. The covering of
the Meadow Valley hosting works build
ing is progressing as rapidly as possible.
There is no change to note in the work.
ing of the mine. The pump OF the Ray
mond & Ely mine during the past week
has continued to work we'll at the same
rate, 81 strokes per minute, at which
rate sufficient water is drained from the
mine to answer oil purposes. The pros
pect levels are being pushed ahead rapid
ly with no change in the general results
as the same amount of ore is extracted as
usual. The Alps, Phoebe and American
Flag mines continue about the same,
there being no marked change. The
mill of the Alps Company is producing
bullion at rapid rate. The close work
ing of the Toquerville ore has induced
other parties to ship to that mill from
Leeds, Utah. There is also more ore on
the road from that place. The past week
has not looked as bright in mining mat
tiers, owing to various causes, but every
one is expecting that there are better
times in store and that the change will
not be long in coming.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
Eight and half strokes per minute is
the rate at which the pump in this mine
is being run, and although not its full
capacity, serves to keep the water under
control. The prospect drifts on the
eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh levels
are still being run to great advantage by
the company. The amount of ore ex-
tracted daily continues about the same.
Plenty of ore is in sight, and the general
appearance of the mine is good. The
mills of the company continue steadily
at work, turning out good supply OF
bullion. Superintendent Tyrrell left on
last Mondays stage for San Francisco to
attend to business matters.
ALPS.
The workings in this mine continue
the same as usual. There has been nc
apparent change in the appearance Of
The various drifts from which the ore ii
taken. They are pushing ahead in the
lower level as fast as possible hoping to
strike the ledge before long. The worl
in the upper levels still continues, ex
tracing about fifteen tons of orc daily
being the usual result of the labors per
formed
MEADOW VALLEY.
We can state nothing new in regard t
this mine.s The chloriders continue hare
at work on the 1200-foot level, and or
shipping good ore to the mill. A larg
force of workmen are employed OF

pener, John Lewis, is pushing the worl
ahead as rapidly as possible
ALPS MILL.
This mill has turned out bullio
during the past week valued at abor
$4,000. Considerable quantities of OF
has been worked for chloriders durin
the week, also several tons from Toquel
vile. The greater part of the ore worl
edhowever WAS from the Alps mine, oil {
which went close up to the pulp assay.
AMERICAN FLAG.
Work still continues the same in tn
mine, without any variation. The drift
on the new ledge on the second and thil
levels are being pushed ahead rapid
and the prospects are very fatterin
The mill continues to run steadily on o
