A Glance Mt some of the PrOmincmt
Ones-What is Doing and what
will be Done.

VIII Ot none.
In two former articles we have given
Il brief resume of operations at the
Richmond and Eureka Consolidated
mines, and this morning a few of the
other prominent mines of the district.
There are many other locations that
will ultimately develop into paying
property, but n complete review Of all
we could not to-day find space for, but
intend to visit them in IA short time
and publish the result OF our investi-
cations.
The Atlas Mise.
This mine is IN a spur of Prospect
mountain, and is an extension of the
Dunderberg property, worked by a.
English corporation, but now under
the management of Messrs. Heyne-
mann and Platter, the latter the present
Superintendent. Extensive improve
have been in progress during
the fall and winter, and the mine is
in fine order for the coming sum-
mer's work. New hosting works
have been built on the north side of
the hill, and a shaft sunk to the depth
OF $40 feet. A drift 500 feet long con
meets the shaft with the old works.
A splendid road leads to the mine
through Good win canyon. There are
80 men employed in and about the
mine, and on the completion of the
new dump will commence to extract
ore. The company own two furnaces,
which have been leased TO the Ham
burg Company for the winter. Two
additional furnaces will be built in the
spring, when the Atlas will
smelling ore from the mine.
The Hamburg Mine
Is on what is known as Feel Stick Hill,
at the head of n. York canyon, and has
recently developed into one of the best
mining properties on the Base Range.
1t is owned by Messrs. Bragg & Co.,
and j. j. Powell, u worthy towns
man, is Superintendent. Azshaft has
been sunk east of the old whim, and
has attained a depth of $50 feet. 1t
will be connected with the old works
by drift and will greatly facilitate prog
ress in the mine. The old shaft is in
fine ore for Il depth of 200 feet. The
deposit has been found in the shaft 400
feet south OF the new works. There
are % men az work in the mine at pres
ent, bur we be believe the force will be
increased. About $50 tons Of ore are
on the dump, but with the immense
body i'll sight there will be no trouble
in extracting sufficient TO keep the two
furnaces supplied for months 10 come.
The company has recently leased
the Atlas furnaces for four months
and will soon mence smelling.
The Connolly Mine
Is owned by the British Mill and Min
ing Company and is under the eff
cient SUPPLEMENTARY of j. Porter.
The property has proved itself Il prof.
table investment. Some 5000 tons of
ore have been extracted and worked az
the furnaces at a profit to the owner
A. the present time there are but s
men ~ work sinking n shaft and pros
pecting. The indications point 10 the
presence of a body OF ore, and the
mine no doubt will give a good ac-
count of itself the ensuing season.
The orange Mine
Has been shipping some fine ore to
the Silver West furnace, and the re-
turns prove il to be CT the highest
grade. 1t is owned and controlled by
DIR. j. Nesbit, who has run "A Tunnel
into the mountain 500 feet, and is
sinking an incline from the head of
the drist TO strike the ore body at a
greater depth. There are four men
employed on the work, and it is a
very promising mine.

trict, and joins the Eureka Consoli.
the Superintendent, and the mine en-
ploys twenty-five men, beside the
force at the furnace. The main shaft
is down $50 feet, aud a fine body of
ore is visible in the slopes. The fur
mace has been run four months and
the mine supplied 50 tons of ore per
day. To the east of the X X, aud
adjoining it, is
The Jackson,
Another of our famous mines. The
main shaft is down GOO feet, but no
ore is being raised at present. There
are II men at work in the mine. and

dumps. The Jackson is a favorlle
gamble with the boys, and they smile
and look mysterious, and talk about
the trustees buying the stock for IA
new deal, when plenty of ore will be
found at the right time. There is no
doubt but that II is n valuable proper
~, and will renew its palmy days in the
near future.
The Wide West.
On Adams Hill, is another good mine,
but at present nothing is doing in it
but dead work. The shaft is 400 feet
deep, and the hosting works are first
class in every particular. Eight men
are employed in prospecting, etc.
The Fourth Of July Mine
Is situated on Prospect Mountain.
The mine is worked by a tunnel, pene.
trating the mountain GOO feet. Six
men are employed, and the mine is a
valuab ole me-.
The tanner
Is another good mine on Prospect
Mountain, and is owned by citizens of
Eureka. The main shaft is 260 feet in
depth and a large quantity of rich ore
