The Union Mill and Mining Com

Empire State mills in Six-miIe Can

mill will also start up on the same
ore.
The General Thomas mine, Column
bus District, is keeping up its repu-
t'tion by the regular shipment Of
bullion. On the 18th instant four
bars, valued at $1,6G4.75, were
shipped from the mine.
The great iron deposits at Copper
Gap, near Auburn, Placer County,
CAL, are soon to be utilized by the
erection of an iron furnace, the only
one in the State, all the arrangements
having been perfected to raise the
$4,000 capital required to run it the
first year.
The Consolidated Virginia have in
creased the number of shares, AS now
represented IN the company, from
one of the old to five of the new
shares. The capital will be $4,000
900. This proposition was agreed
upon about Il year ago, but action
has been postponed till the present
time.
We were shown last evening
sample of an assay taken from the
groupings of the South End mine.
Like the one mentioned short time
ago, it also predominated in silver.
The result was: Silver, $101.31;
gold, $15.16; total, $116.47. This
we consider very encouraging fol the
top; the bonanza is deeper.
Rich gold discoveries are reported
from st. George, Utah, assays from
the surface dust going as high as
81 900 to 81, 500 to the on. Brigham
Young is on his way from Salt Lake

are found to be of value will call
down force of his adherents TO

The latest assays taken from the
South End mine resulted as follows
Silver, $3S0.14; gold, $500; total,
$3S5.16. This runs still lower in
gold than the other assays recorded.
We look upon this as a most favora-
BILE indication that the southern end
of the Comstock may reveal her
treasures at less depth than at the
northern end. Col. Robinson is
leaving nothing undone to open this
mine and show its true merits.
A short distance south of the North
Carson is the "Ayres & Hopkins"
mine, which promises some day to
equal its companion in richness. The
tunnel is in about seventy-fve feet,
almost the entire distance being in
fine vein matter, which assays very
high. AS yet, no cross-cuts have
been run to determine the width of
the ledge. When such is done we
will note the fact, AS we will its con-

In our mining intel igence columns
Of recent date will be noticed the in
corporation of the Potosi and Chollar
mining companies. This is the old
well known Cholar-Po mining

been divided, 900 feet being allotted
to each, which will he divided into
10000 shares with a capital
stock of $1,000, 90 per claim.
Originally it contained | 400 feet,
the extra 900 feet being given to
the Hale & Norcross, whose stock
will also soon be divided, when a
stock dividend will be made, these
companies to receive one-third Of the
increased shares of the Hale e. Nor
cross. The large combination shaft
will continue as heretofore. The
Hale & Norcross will also pay one
