From Mr.. Adam Assell, superintendent
OF the Lncky Queen mine, a Roseburg
paper learns that there is now on the dump
OF that mine fifty tons of rock taken out
since the late rich strike, which will mill |
from $500 to $4,000 to the ton, besides
700 tons more which will go all the way
from Sill to ST. 500 to the ton. He also
reports all prospects very pleasing. He
has vested the ledge now being worked
sumciently to satisfy himself thai it is a
permanent lead, averaging four feet in
width, and one of the richest that has vet
been found on the coast. The wood work
OF the new quartz mill is complete, and as
soon 90 the machinery all arrives from this
place the mill will be put together.
A letter received from DR.. Bunnell, sup
erintendent of the Esther mine, gives some
e'oKlag reports on the result of the last

had just cleaned up one pan after four and
q half days run, and got six pounds of
hne amalgam from seven tons Of tailings
worked over. The mill is in full blast.
and in three days more three pans will be
running. The ledge shows three feet and
half OF clear quartz, of exceeding
richness, and there is ready on the dump,
for crushing, 400 tons Of ore, which will
give heavy yield of bullion.
