LOCAL MINING REVIEW,


LOCAL MINING REVIEW,
The bullion shipments by Wells, Fargo
Co.'S express for the past week amounted
to sl7 ,5S4. slight DEGREES on the former
week. During the past week the Ray
mond Il Ely4 mine have discharged an
entire shift of men aud are now running
ten-hour shifts. The number of hands
discharged amount to sixty, some of
whom are again employed at n-hour
labor. The discharge was occasioned by
the desire Of the managers to have the
mine run on the ten-hour shift system.
The working in the mine still continues
on the eighth. ninth, tenth and eleventh
levels. The ore slopes are not changing
any but are producing the usual seventy
five tons OF ore daily. The pump con-
tnues on its steady old course, working
the same stroke. The contractors on the
American Flag commenced to sink 100
feet on the main shaft June LIST and
are making fair progress. Work is
easier sinking on the Antilles mine The
Phoebe mine workmen are pushing their
main shaft as fast as possible below the
1O6Ofoot level; the balance of the mine
being worked as heretofore. Work has
been commenced on the Washington and
Creole, under the supervision of Martin
Tarpey, and on the HUM & Hunt by the
lienholders. Ore will be extracted
rapidly from this mine to pay expenses,
the owners intending to run it with the
least expense possible. Two new claims
have been located between Lacour and
Phoebe streets, the locators pushing for
ward the work as rapidly as possible.
Machinery for the Meadow Valley is ar
irving daily, the work being pushed for
ward vigoro usly. In the Alps mine we
note nothing new; the mill is running
steadily and producing bullion at rapid
rate. Ore from Toquerville continues
to arrive to be worked at that mill. Al
though number of men have been dis
charged during the week most of them
who wish 1t have secured employment
on other claims, SO that there is no de-
crease to speak OF in tho working force
of Phoebe. The outlook for the future
presents better appearance than it has
done for some time previous.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
This mine has experienced some little
change during the week, having changed
their working time from three shifts to
two shifts and from eight hours to ten
hours labor. The prospect work is
however continued from the eighth to
the eleventh levels, inclusive the pros
poets remaining about the same. The
various slopes in the mine continue to
yield about seventy-fve tons of ore
daily without change in its assay value.
The stroke of the pumping machinery
has not varied in the last six weeks, the
pump working regular and keeping the
body OF water in the main Shaft at about
the same. The thirty stamp mill OF the
company continues running regular, do
ing fair work.
