LOCAL MINING REVIEW,

During the past week there las been
shipped by Wells. Fargo & Co. S13 400
in bullion, decrease on the previous
week. A large amount of the pumping
machinery for the Meadow Valley mine
is on the road. The foundation work
for the hosting engine is completed and
the work of placing it commences to-
morrow. No change in the working of
the mine. In the Raymond & Ely the
same prospecting work continues, the
amount Of ore extracted varying but lit
tie. The pump is running regular keep
ing the water in check. New improve
ments are going on at the Alps mill, such
as reservoir and foundation work for
the scales, which will be placed near the
mill. The mine continues yielding we'll
without much change, the prospects be-
ing good. In the Phoebe and Antilles
the regular work continues with fair
showing for ore before long. The Wash
ington & Creole still continues to yield
the average quantity of ore as previously
reported. Sinking on the main shaft
and small amount of work in tie upper
levels is what is Transporting at the Amer
lean Flag mine. The owners of the
HUM & Hunt are still working on the
ore body, which they are extracting as
rapidly as possible. Chloriders are
working on the Newark mine and doing
we'll. The citizens furnace now has a
send-off by subscriptions that will with
out doubt push it through to completion.
In regard to the mining operations of the
Raymond & Ely and Meadow Valley
mines very little change can be expected
until the pumping machinery of the
Meadow Valley gets to work, as nothing
can be done below the 1900 foot levels of
those mines at present. The building OF
the smelling furnace will be the only
thing that will relieve Phoebe of its dull
ness until those two mines get we'll
started.
MEADOW VALLEY
Thirty tons of pumping machinery are
on the way from San Francisco for this
mine. The foundation work for the
hosting engines is all completed. and
will commence to put on the machinery
tomorrow. They are still excavating on
the l20O-foot level for a place for the
pump and tank, also on the 177-foot level
for bob-pit. Every endeavor is being
made to push these works to completion
as rapidly as possible, as the sooner they
are finished the better it will be for the
camp. Chloriding is going on in the
mine as usual with good results, the
work WORK being confined principally to the
l20O-toot level.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
Prospecting work ia still continued on
the 9Th, 9th, 10th and 18th levels, no

otn and 9Th levels, is about the amount
extracted. The stope between the 5th
ana 9th levels is furnishing some good
ore. cross-cut will be run from the
man drift of the 10th level to connect
