LOCAL MINING REVIEW,


The amount of bullion shipped by
Wells. Fargo & Co., during the past
week was $40, 1873, q decrease of SO, ZOO
on the previous week. The mill of the
Raymond Il Ely Company will probably
start up on the 25th or Goth. In the
mine the same work continues; the
pump is run at the usual speed, keep
ing the water at the same level, still
but little benefit will be derived from
the running of this pump until the ne
and powerful pumping machinery of the
Meadow Valley is in active operation
and working we'll to assist in taking out
the water 30 that the explorations in
this mine can be pushed downward
below the present level. In the
Meadow Valley, the engines are being
put down, gallows frame also is being
erected. Chloriding going On as usual
in the mine. The American Flags
main shaft has advanced in depth about
foot day for the past week. The
main shaft of the Phoebe mine is also
being pushed ahead as rapidly as pos.
sible and are now working in quartzite.
The Alps mill keeps busily employed
running on custom ore and ore from the
mine; the mill is turning out some fine
bullion. A new rope for the mine ar
rived during the past week, so that no
difficulty will now be experienced in
hosting the ore. The same number of
hands continue at work on the Wash
ington L Creole, hosting nearly three
tons Of ore daily. The usual work of
extracting ore continues in the HUM &
Hunt. Nothing being done at present
with the Newark. A change was made
in the board of trustees during the past
week. The building of the smelling
furnace by the citizens, is still under
discussion; about $4,000 having been
subscribed, with which amount it is
proposed to organize and sell stock to
make up the necessary balance. A
meeting will be held for this purpose to-
morrow evening at 8 o'clock at the
house of Protection Hose Company.
The building of this furnace will be the
only salvation for Phoebe, until such
time as the Meadow Valley and Ray
mond Ely can push their explorations
below the water level.
MEADOW VALLEY.
Are now putting up the engines, one
OF which will be placed tomorrow; are
also erecting gallows frame and push

variation In the work. Chloriders con-
"nus work as usual with fair success.
