MINING REVIEW.
Tho bullion shipped by Wells, Fargo
Co. the passed week amounted to
sgOgS. ibis is pretty good evidence
that the mines of Phoebe are not slack
inc any in the yield Of the precious
metal. Since the Superintendent of the
Pjoche mine has been to San Francisco
orders have been received to Immediately
commence the work of sinking the main
shaft, which will be done at once. This
will place an additional force on the
mine. The managers Of the mine up.
rear to be well satisfied with the results.
In the Raymond & Ely and Meadow
Valley mines the yield of ore and the
production of bullion shows no decrease.
4 The main shaft of the American Flag
will be sunk to q further depth, where
the prospect for large body OF ore is
gJUus no llciu Vi lEOu lut
APPS mine and mill still continues 30
that another dividend may be de-
cnrd before long. There has been no
marked change or improvement in any
Of the mines, but the present prospects
are good for nearly all of them, still we
are Of the opinion that developments will
& be made soon that will astonsh manv.
The completion and placing of the pump
OF the Meadow Valley is looked for very
anS'ously as it will tend to help opera
( tons on other mines so that the work OF
Development will go on rapidly.
AMERICAN FLAG.
The Superintendent, Jno. r. James,
has Just returned from San Francisco,
having made all arrangements to sink
the shaft 100 feet deeper which, when
completed, will be to the depth of 1860
feet from the surface and 200 feet below
the 10th station, where the ledge shown
is composed of good ore. The Superin-
tendent is in hopes of finding it first
class at the depth to which they will sink.
At the mill for the past week cleaning up
has been the work on which hands were
engaged. During the past month the
mill has been running with satisfactory
results. 1t will start again about the

RAYMOND AND ELY.
This mine continues to ship regularly
about Is tons Of ore daily to the mills in
baIlonyille. Shipments of bullion by
the company in consequence are averag-
ing about the same amount monthly.
Prospecting work on the eighth, ninth,
tenth and eleventh levels continues vigor-
ously with fair results in regard to ex-
mctlng ore. There is no decrease in
TIE amount of ore extracted from these
I s'elS, either in quantity or quality.

Work is progressing as reported in
last weeks review, the mine LOOKING
much better than it did then. The
