There was shipped by Wells. Fargo &
Co. SIT ,494 in bullion during the past
week, the proceeds of the short run Of
tie Raymond and Ely MILL The pump
ing arrangements of the Raymond and
Ely mine have met with an accident in
breaking the spur wheel which will take
OF least two months to replace, until
which time pumping operations will
cease. Work on the upper levels of the
mine still continue with fair success.
The mill having exhausted the ore SO far
has closed down for the present. The
Meadow Valley hosting works are pro-
crossing towards completion and some OF
the pumping machinery, of which a
large amount is on the road, arrived last
week Preparations are being made for
the reception and placing of the pump
ing machinery, 80 that there will be no
unnecessary delay on its arrival. Chic
riders still continue working the mine.
The Alps mill is closed until some ar
engagements can be made about water.
The Superintendent having returned he
is doing his best to procure water and
start the mill, which will be about
Wednesday next. The mine is being
worked and a considerable amount of
ore extracted, which will have to remain
uucrushed for the present. The con-
tractors having finished their contract on
the American Flag that mine has shut
down until John r. James, the Superin-
tendent, returns. The work of sinking
the main shaft of the Phoebe mine still
continues, No change in the formation.
The Washington & Creole and HUM &
Hunt are extracting ore with fair sue
cess During the past week nothing has
been done in regard to the citizen S

the people not seeming to take enough
interest in what 80 vitality concerns them.
Mining matters are very dull and in con-
sequence all business matters are also.
