Il Va have only little to state this week
that is really new in mining matters.
The American Flag has commenced work
vigorously in their mine, running three
! sbif,s every twenty-four hours. The
sni is being prepared for new process
Soi working ores especially refractory ones.
HTbe Raymond & Ely pump is working
a. satisfactorily as it has been doing for,
ksome weeks, it running ten strokes
raising SIG, 900 gallons of water every "a
8bours, or "a inches miners measurement.
Tho Alps Mining Company have pur-
chased the Floral Mill, which they are
running altogether on their own ore.
Other mines are all progressing favor
abb, and interests in several have been
sold. The total shipments for the week
amount to $37, 299. Taking the various
back sets we have had from the weather
ne have reason to congratulate ourselves
On the prospects.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
We paid visit to the Raymond & Ely
mine yesterday, and also to the foundry
Ind machine-shops. Geo. E. Ames in
formed us that the pump was running
ten strokes per minute issven feet
stroke), raising 576,0 900 gallons of water
for "a hours, or 81 inches of miners
measurement. The pump for tho last
three weeks has been running satisfac-
@tory and sinking has progressed regular
aly The above showing is enough to
convince outsiders that the pump is cap
able OF doing its duty. Delays may 90
cur, as they always do in machinery
matters, but they have been righted.
Things are now working smooth. The
usual shipments OF ore taking place and
the ore on the eighth, ninth and tenth
levels pulps about the same as our
former reports. Work continues with
vigor in all parts of the mine and we
hope to see fine developments shortly.
ALPS MINE.
This mine still continues its regular
work of extracting ore. Du ring the
last week much more. ore than usual,
has been taken out. The different levels
are run night and day. The lower level

make it do so, and the whole appearance
Oh Of the mine is satisfactory. Two bars OF
q bullion at Wells, Fargo & Cos Office
IN yesterday morning and one ut the Office
isl of Kinsey Lanius give evidence that the
III mine is doing well. The bar at the
