LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

Mining matters during the past week
have eyinced no remarkable change.
The Meadow Valley company is re-
eeiving machinery almost daily for their
hosting works and are pushing the
work ahead as fast as possible. The
RAYMOND & Ely shows no change at
present, the same work being continued.
The Alps mine and mill are doing steady
work and turning out ore and bullion as
rapidly as possible. To the energy dis
played in the working of this mine and
mill Phoebe is indebted for livslier times
than they would have otherwise had as
the developments made and men en-
ployed have all tended to encourage
prospecting in the neighborhood of that
mine. The contract to sink on the
American Flag mine, will without doubt
develope good vein of mineral. The
main shaft Of the Phoebe is now being
sunk from the 1000 foot level. Work
on the Antilles is without change. Next
week we may look for work to be COM
menced on the Washington & Creole
mine and also others, probably the
HUM & Hunt. The shipments of bull
lion are now regular, Wells, Fargo & Co.,
having shipped during the past week
$26, 558.
In this mine work continues without
change on the various levels, the pro.
minent feature being the continued ex.
cellence of the white quartz vein con
tanning free gold which has continued tc
pan out well. The other portions Of
the mine continue about the same, the
yield averaging fifteen tons daily of goot
ore. The appearance of the differen
drifts continue healthy and show M
diminution OF the yield, whilst the or,
assays about the same average.
ALPS MILL.
Steadily running during the past weel
doing good work and turning out bullior
OF rapid rate. This mill is now in first
class order, the machinery in good con
dtion and working we'll, and for its ca
pacity is one of the best mills in tn
State.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
No important change to note in thi
mine. The prospect work is still bein
pushed forward rapidly on the Sth, 9th
10th and 18th levels, the results not va
rying any from our last report as sew
snty -ive tons of ore are daily extracte
and shipped to the mills Of the compa
ny. No attempt is being made at pres
ent to go any deeper on the main shat
the pump being kept working steadil
and combining the water to about tn
same level in that shaft. The stoke {
the pump in consequence has not bee
changed for several weeks. The foundr
at present is not employed. Trains o
the Nevada Central run regularly dali.
MEADOW VALLEY.
Still cotinue the work of runnir
drifts on the 1200-foot level and sinkir
sinze. Chloriders continue hard
work with better results. Most of Il
ore extracted works well and shows Il
result to be one-tenth of the value
gold. Miners say this is good eviden,
that the vein promises to be permane
and paying. A lot of the machinery
the hosting works arrived last week al
Will be placed in position as fast as Il
foundation is ready. The work of pr
ting on the tin roof is progressing "a
Idly and is now nearly finished.
PIocHE.
Assays OF the ledge in this mine b
not varied much in the past two wee
and the ledge presents such nice
pearance that expectations have be
,noolged that nice body Of ore mie
os struck at any moment. The nee
ssry Preparations are all made for sill
Tug on the main shaft below the To-
ANTILLES.
The Same steady work Of sinking
the Main shaft has continued for I
past week. No developments to repe
work Of sinking continues hard.
AMERICAN FLAG.
The usual force of men are emplo,
on the upper levels in prospect wo
on the main shaft the contractors b.
not yet commenced the work Of sink
me distance Of one hundred feet. TT
VIII start soon however. The levels
me upper portion Of the mine look '
encouraging.
