items respecting some of Tho prominent
mines Of that promising district. The
Young America Company is pushing
the work upon their mine systemntical-
~. phoir shaft Inns now reached n
depth OF 2ls feet, ana stations, from
which TO start the levels nrc now being
prepared. The lead III the bottom Of
the Shaft is looking moro favorable than
at any point above, it being strong and
solid, tho ore being Of excellent quanti-
ty running high in both gold and silver.
The lHtc excessively rich strike in what
is known rs the "Grand Prize" is on
the Virginia ground, III old location
nude in May, 1878, but We understand
that no litigation is likely to grow out
Of Tint fact, owing TO tho existence of II
spirit OF compromise among the respect
i've claimants. Some IS or 20 tons Of
the rich GRO from the new bonanza has
boon forwarded to the Leopard mill at
Coihtcopis, fer sedution, btI. the re-
suit Of tho workings has not yet Lcon
made public. Every new development
made upon the broad spur in which this
bonanza was found, tends to strengthen
the belief that deposits OF ore will be
found below its surface, far exceeding
in extent anything heretofore brought
to light in the camp.
The Hornet mine, tf which w6 rnaln
mention some time ago, still maintains
its high reputation. The company Of
owncrs arc still at work sinking upon
the vein and although contending with
considerable water, nse well satisfied
with the result Of their labors.
John Walker, Of LanOille Valley,
who has been pcrambulating about that
vicinity, n short timc since stumbled
upon very promising ledge, about
mile northwest Of the town. 4 shaft
ten feet i'll depth is now down on it, ex-
hibiting thrce-foct vein OF excellent
ore.
These late extraordinary develop
ments haze created good deal of cx-
sitom:cr: among mining men, and given
additional impetus to both prospecting
and developing, and the result is that
there is scarcely All idle man in the
camp.
