Tho ore product of the Washoe mines
during the past week has been consid-
erably lessened. The daily yield of
the California mine has been only
400 tons; Belcher, $50 tons; Justice,
Dds tons, and Chollar-Potosi, 100 tons.
The unexpected flow of water from
the 300 foot level in the Consolidated
Virginia mine restricted the ore sup.
ply for several days, but things are
working smoothly again. A lessened
yield from the Opbir mine is due to
repairs to the Mexican mill and nee
essary work in a portion of the mine.
The ore from the Belcher is ahead OF
the mills, and hence less has been
raised his week.
