LOCAL MINING REVIEW,

There was shipped by Wells. Fargo &
Co. during the past week 81, 4O5 in bull
lion, large falling off from shipments
ofprevious weeks. In the Raymond IL
Ely mine the work continues the same
without variation, also in the Meadow
Valley mine. I At he hosting works CT
this mine. rapid progress is being made
in receiving and.placing machinery The
pumping machinery will commence to
leave San Francisco on the first of July
and will be forwarded rapidly The
sinking of the main shaft of the Ameri-
can Flag is pushed ahead, nine feet
having been made during the week, the
same work is continued in the upper
levels. Work in the main shaft of the
Phoebe was also being pushed during
the past week, with fair progress being
made. In the Alps there is no change
to note. the same work continued with
out any variation. Work at the mill
was stopped for short time during the
past week, in consequences of the supply
of water being stopped. Work con.
tinues in the HUM & Hunt, Washing
ton & Creole, mines ut Highland and
the two on Lacour street, all with fair
prospects. There is no diminution in
the number of mines that are being
worked, but some of them have of late
been decreasing the force of workmen 80
that there are, idle men around and
many miners leaving the camp for other
places that seem to promise better at
present. Many Of the mines however
promise to take more men before
long, as they will be needed. The
is very dull at present owing to
various causes, such as the shutting
down OF the Raymond Il Ely mills, &c.
There does not seem to be any very
brilliant prospects at present until
the pumping machinery of the Meadow
Valley commences to be placed in
position, we may look for compare
lively dull times in Phoebe.
