LOCAL MINING REVIEW.
Daring the past week mining matters
havs assumed shape that must be salts
factory to every one in Phoebe. The
.hiomepts of bullion for the month of
february foot up to $195,233.l7
which is large increase over any
nrevious shipments for two years,
,bs figures of which will be largely
increased. In the shipments for the
month of February, the Nevada Gen.
t,al Railroad has conveyed 2,706 tons of
ore to the Bullionville mills, leaving ten
tons daily at the Newark mill as they
nassed by. Ore from the Raymond &
Elv that heretofore pulped SIS now pulps
$40. The main shaft OF the Raymond
& Ely mine is kept dry by the pumping
machinery, working sixteen hours out of
twenty-four, so that there seems to be no
q hold back to the sinking of the shaft as
fast as the contractors want to do it, so
that we may expect developments from
it at any time. The removal of snow
from the side hills near the Alps mine
is anxiously looked for by prospectors
who wish to try their chances in that d.
rection, and we think from the recent
developments in the Alps mine that they
could not find better place. Taking
the general outlook of Ely Mining Dis
trict up to date we are under the impress
sion that for the last two years it has
never looked healthier than now.
RAYMOND & ELY.
The trustees of this company held
their regular annual meeting on Tues
day January 25th 1876. At the meeting
1901 shares were represented out of
$4,000 composing the corporation, the
following gentlemen were elected trus-
tees for the ensuing year, Alpheus Bull.
President; A. X. P. Harmon. vice-Pre-
s,aen,; R. F. Morrow, j. H. Robinson
and Geo. ". Beaver, Trustees; T. W
Colburn, Secretary; and D. NJ. Tyrrell,
Superintendent. During the past year
1854 tons OF ore have been extracted
from the mine which has pulped SIS. 0C
per ton. Since the first of January quite
anumber OF changes have been made in
regard to working and extracting of ore.
Numerous contracts have been let some
on the Burke and Creole which viii
return dividends to the company. il
heretofore being almost dead work il
these companies. The superintendent
D, NJ. Tyrrell has let a contract on tn,
main shaft, called the Lightner shaft, t.
several parties, the contract being to sinl
l25 feet at the rate of $45 per foot, tn
company furnishing tools, timbers ant
agreeing to keep the shaft dry. Th,
contractors will start about Monday, il
the meantime the company are busil,
engaged in cutting out Tor station tam
which will be completed and everything
in order by that time. The pump ha
now only to run 16 hours out OF "a t
keep the SHAFT drained. The flow OF waite
has not increased lately and the pump
working to the satisfaction Of every one
The ore on the tenth level seems to b
the best that has ever been struck in th
mine pulping $40, so that the shil
ments OF bullion for the mouth of Eel
ruary will largely exceed those of Jai
uary,
During the past week work has bee
continued on this mine with the san
n regularity as formerly. Work on Il
N lower level is progressing slowly, own

however, is satisfactory. In the upp
portions Of the mine the different drift
iook well and continue to improve, thu
sstHacting from the same an average
al'een tons daily. The. Superintende
reports everything in good conditio
anu the working Of the ore at the Flor
MILL, which this company has recent
purchased, as giving entire satisfactio
The company after purchasing the Flol
mill also declared dividend of INVENT
