MINING NoTEs.-But little can be said
in reference to the present stand still
that would throw any light on the sub
ject. The Meadow Valley mine, as we
announced before, has suspended aud
though the prospects Of the mine itself
are allowed on all sides to be most fiat
tering, the management has 80 serious a
hitch in it that reference to its future
amounts to little more than surmise.
| Favorable reports come from other mines
that will before long furnish US with
some definite information. A furnace is
being erected i'll Bulionville that will
start up about the 18th inst. Bullion is
being received from Highland, and when
the new furnace starts up the quantity
will be increased. We append the last
official Raymond e. Ely letter. "The
usual progress is being made in the VA
rious prospecting drifts and considerable
| improvement is observable in the forma-
ton in the west drift on 18th level; l6
feet has been added to its length during
the week and the shale which has been
found along the line of this drift for sew.
eral hundred feet has entirely disap.
peared, and quartz formation has taken
Its place. aud the assure is well-deined
and shows l6 inches Of vein matter,
which appears to improve as the work
progresses. The drift being extended
west on the line OF south VEN, 10th
level, has now length of 299 feet,
showing progress of u feet for the
week; the face still shows the fissure
| oil dol I'M tnk
between the walls is of the same charac-
ter as heretofore; forty feet more added
to the length of this drift will connect
with the winZe sunk from 9th level snd
furnish good circulation, which will
greatly facilitate the progress of the
work at this point. The ore being pro.
duced from the old abandoned levels OF
the mine by chloriders is of rather low
grade and but little revenue is being de.
rived from that source. The water in
the main shaft is raising very slowly, the
greater portion of it is finding its way
back in the country as it is only raising
about three feet per week. We have
started up the mill and are running
through the ore that has been accumula.
ted at the mine. We are running por
ton of the mill on tailings and the tests
that bave been made show that the mil
is extracting fair percentage, consider
ing the amount of base metal contained
in the tailings."
