LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

LOCAL MINING REVIEW.
n,rinr the month of March there was
sbipped from Phoebe 1882, 956 10 in bull
linn. a slight increase over the month of
February. The pump of the Raymond
& Elv mine is now working with entire
satisfaction, and the mine is yielding the
usual quantity of ore, about seventy-five
tons, daily. A good strike is reported on
the eighth level of this mine. The
Meadow Valley works are about being
covered, and fourteen inch pump, with
an eight-foot stroke, will be ordered i'm
mediately for the mine. In the Alps
mine affairs progress as usual, the mine
showing we'll and turning out the same
amount of ore daily. Tho mill is pro-
ducing bullion at the rate OF about 81 500 |
per day. The American Flag mill con-
tinues to run steadily, and since the 18th |
Of last month has done some good work. |
There is no changes to report in the
Phoebe or Antilles mines. The Superin- |
tendent of the Phoebe is under the i'm
preston that pay ore may be struck at
any time. We think Phoebe has about
seen its worst days. Tho signs of re-
newed energy on the part of the trustees
OF the different mines would indicate
tina. the orders received in regard to the
Meadow Valley mine have encouraged
every one, and contributed to q more
hopeful feeling in the community. The
shipments of bullion for the mouth of
March show that Phoebe is still alive,
and doing little business on it's own
hook. We congratulate our citizens on
the more cheerful prospects.
RAYMOND & ELY.
On visit to the Raymond & Ely mine
yesterday we found that the pump had
been stopped during the week for three
or four days. 1t has been started again
however. and is now running in good
style at the rate of 81 strokes per
minute. Mr. Ames has placed every
thing in first class order around the
pumping and hosting machinery, as he
calculates to leave on Wednesday next.
In the mine work is progressing lively on
the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh
levels Seveuty-five tons of ore is ex-
tractel daily. We understand that
very rich body of ore has been struck on
the eighth level, but of that fact were
unable to get information. The mine
is looking we'll. The mills at Bullion
vile are producing bullion very rapidly
as will be noticed by the amount Of
bullion shipped by express.

very steadily since the 10Th inst. and
during that time has worked over 40(
tons of ore-more ore than has ever beer
put through that mill in that space Of
hme-and with prospect of keeping il
running for an indefinite period. In the
mine they are drifting on the new south
west vein, en- the second and third levels
with all possible speed and are extract
ing some ore. Arrangements are nov
being made to sink the main shaft to tn
water level, as the prospects are yer,
natiering in the lower levels as far q
work has progressed.
ALPS.
The usual quantity of ore, fifteen tons
is extraoted daily. Work on the uppe
levels is pushed ahead vigorously. Tn
lodges on the various upper levels sho,
no diminution in the quantity and qua
ity OF ore. The lower level the last fe,
days looks very promising, the conclu
sion being that the ledge is liable to
struck at any moment. Tho ore e,
tracted from the mine is shipped to tn
mill of the company, and is enough
Keep the mill running steadily.
MEADOW VALLEY.
In this mine the same work continue
