looking well and yielding their
usual amount of good milling ore.
About $50 feet south west from this
point another raise has been started
from the main tunnel, following the
ledge, which at that point is four
feet wide, and of good milling rock.
The ore dumps are full. Arrange
ments have been made for milling
but the bad condition of the roads
prevent them from receiving the
necessary amount of wood to run
on. Ii there is no change in the
weather it is expected to start the
mill by the last of this week.
COSMOPOLITAN.
The depth of the winze from the
tunnel is now ia feet, and in low
grade ore, which however is not
being saved. The progress of the
tunnel is rapid to the north, in the
direction of the vein. The face of
it is in a mixture of clay and
quartz, with some little water, but
not enough however to cause any
Inconvenience. Everything con-
nected with the mine is of an en-
couraging nature.
This mine is pursuing the usual
tenor of its way. The late storm
interfered somewhat with the trans
portation of quartz, but its monthly
yield will not fall much short of the
previous returns. If it continues
to do as we'll this year as last-and
it really promises better-it will add
much to the wealth and permanency
of this district, besides encouraging
others to renewed efforts.
NORTH DAYTON.
This is said to be one of the most
promising locations Of this district.
1t is situated north of the main Day
ton mine. They have a tunnel in
about six hundred feet. Their ledge
contains good ore, which they pro-
pose to mill as soon as the necessary
arrangements can be made. The
owners of this mine feel much en-
couraged from the present pros
poets.
SOUTH CoMsTocK.
Rapid progress cannot be made in
the thorough development of the
ledge lately tapped owing to the
water increasing as they advance.
Some material Improvements are to
be made IN the machinery which
will enable them to control any body
of water they may strike, and then
the ore vein will be properly opened
as from its present appearance much
is expected.
NORTH CARSON.
Sinking of the shaft still con-
tinues without delay. The mine
looks we'll, but no important change
is anticipated until the new ma
chinery is in place and at work.
Superintendent Gould has returned
from below and reports that it will
be of the largest pattern and massive
in structure. When this is in OPP
peration We expect some important
developments.
EDINBURG.
The main shaft, according to yester-
day measurement, is lO2 feet in
depth. The rock is working well
and good daily progress is being
made. A great time will not seiapse
before machinery will be erected.
Everything is progressing in work
manlike manner.
WEBER.
Work of sinking is progressing rap
IDLY. The prospects are every day
Frightening for this mine as the eX'
plorations of the Kossuth in that
direction gives them very good
idea OF what they may expect at no
great depth. AT present no mine
has better prospects than this.
LEE.
A letter from the Secretary informs
us that the new pumping machinery
will be erected without delay and
sinking of the main shaft continue d.
ATLANTIC.
Nothing new from this location
Negotiations in the interest of the
mine are progressing satisfactorily.
RED JACKET.
The work in and about this mine
is progressing in satisfactory man
