LOCAL MINING REVIEW.
The bullion shipments for the past
week by Wells, Fargo 81 Co.'S express,
amounted to $22, $40, an increase of S.
900 over the previous week. Work on
two old mines was recommended during
the past week, under new auspices
which absorbed some few of the idle
hands around Phoebe. lrhe prospects OF
these two are good. In the Meadow
Valley mine, the stone foundations are
being pushed ahead and will be finished
by the first OF July, at which time all
the hosting machinery will arrive. The
winze down from the 1900 foot level,
had to be stopped on account ofrsaching
the water level. The ore from the tenth
level OF the Raymond & Ely, is producing
ten per cent. in gold and from the other
levels is yielding good percentage in
gold. The prospect work has not varied
for several weeks. The Alps Mill is at
present the only mill that is running in
Lincoln county and it has its hands full
Of business. Ore from Toquerville con-
t;nues to arrive for this mill, showing
that the Mormon brethren are alive to
dollars and cents. The mine continues
on its its old course. yielding the usual
amount Of ore and shipping bullion. No
great change to note in regard to it.
The Phoebe and Antilles continue to be
worked steadily with good prospects
ahead. The two mines on Lacour street
have been continued during the past weeks
one OF them having a shaft down to the
depth of 80 feet, the owners having
every confidence in the locations. Eight
incorporated mines are now being
worked in Phoebe, notwithstanding its
apparent dullness and all are showing
fair prospects OF leading Us to suppose
that it will not take much longer for a
radical change for the better in most of
them.
MEADOW VALLEY.
The stone foundation for the hosting
machinery is rapidly approaching CON-
pletion, the contractor (Sheridan) stat
ing that it will DO finished by the first
of the month, at which time all the
hosting machinery will have arrived
and be placed rapidly in position. Work
on the 1200.foot level is pushed ahead
and the extracting of ore by chloriders
still continues. Work on the WINS
which was being put down from the
l2O0-foot to the water level had to b.
stopped owing to having reached water
The prospect of the winzs at the time OF
the stoppage was very promising.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
The prospect work is still continued
from the eighth to the eleventh leve

being about six per cent. gold. N
