Weekly Summary Of the DS1il's
Gate District Mines.


trict was met with; and, while stimu-
lating Us to greater efforts, also
proves the Importance of reports Of
this character. We are happy to note
that the humble efforts of the Chimes"
are attracting the attention of capt.
talists and mining men in San Fran
cisco and other portions of the Pa
cifc Coast. 1t is gratifying also to
note, and gives us great pleasure to
acknowledge, the friendliness Of the
"Stock Exchange" "Stock Report"
Mining and other journals in pub
fishing our reports. This we deem
of sufficient Importance to impress
mining men, superintendents and
foremen with the importance of fur
nishing US with full and correct &C.
counts of all new discoveries and
developments being male. Much
interest il being manifested in San
Francisco in regard to our mines,
and parties are DESTROYS of all infor-
nation emsnating from authoritative
sources; and we desire that none but
such shall be found in our columns.
We have no particular development
to chronicle since our last report.
There was temporary stagnation in
the upward advance Of stocks, caused
by the "bears" circulating false and
injurious stories for purposes to meet
their selfish designs. While many
are fully aware of the utter f4llacy of
these reports, they still have force
and influence with the timid and in
experienced. Yet moments calm
thought should be sufficient to re-
move all doubts as to the non-per-
manency and wealth of our bonanzas
from the northern to the southern
extension of the far-famed Comstock.
Compare the mines now with this
date one year ago and view the diff
ference. True, many sold for u
higher figure, but their prospects
were not as good by fifty per cent.
The mining capacities have increased
and are yet inadequate to the con-
stantly increasing demands. The
late storm promises to carry with it
great prosperity during the ensuing
year, as it will enable the water mills
to run longer period at their full
capacity. All in all, the coming year
bears upon its bosom a promise of
yield in the precious metals that
will astonish the sanguine and dazzle
the uninitiated.

level Is in 50 feet. Some fine and
promising stringers of quartz being
passed. The breast is now looking
well; showing the near proximity of

the fact that ON Monday night they

of the west. Everything pertaining
to the works and machinery is
working well.
BUCKEYE.
AZ we mentioned In our last report
this mine has suffered much incon-
venience from water, but at present
they have 1t fully under control and
no further trouble is spprehended.
They expect by tho last Of this week
to open the station for the $50 foot
level, which will connect with the
WINE from the 800, and is now
down about Is feet following the
ledge, which shows ore Of q good
quality. The prospects OF this mine
are good and now that they have
conquered their greatest enemy
water-we expect to hear good and
permanent developments. Every
thing connected with the mine Is
working we'll.
SILVER CITY.
A raise Ia being made on the VEIN
about 100 feet from where the present
ore IL being extracted, and about 400
feet from the mouth of the tunnel,
to make connection, which, when
effected, will give better facilities for
extracting larger amount. The
raise has progressed for about rs
feet all in good ore, and showing
better developments than yet en-
countered. Prospecting continues
without any delay, and the ore still
accumulates on the dump.
DAYTON.
The sinking of the SHAFT below the
6O0-foot level Is progressing very
satisfactory. The station 1t this
point Is timbered and ready for use.
The drifts from the 500 loot station
north and south are being pushed
ahead ss rapidly A. possible, as also
is the drift south from where the ore
was stopped out, which shows good
indications.
