LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

The amount of bullion shipped from
pioche during the month OF February
was $3.50, 9sO.9s, little less than for the
month Of January. This is accounted
for by it being short month. The
AIMS mill and mine continue to make
GOOD returns, having turned out $4,000
in bullion the past week. The Ameri-
can Flag mine is running night and day
with fair success. The repairs to the
mill are almost completed and it is ex-
pected it will start up about the 9th OF
this month. The pump of the Raymond
& Ely is still working successfully and
running eight strokes per minute, keep
ing the water at low stage. On Friday
the pump was stopped for eight hours to

the pump commenced work again there

will doubtless be reduced by this morn

mine is continued vigorously on the
Sth, 9th, 10th and 18th levels. The Ne
vada Central Railroad is conveying the
usual amount of ore to the mills at Bull

improvement.
