LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

We to-day have some little changes to
report in mining matters that are OF
interest to the general public. The Ray
mond & Ely pump is running about
eight strokes minute keeping the water
about ten feet deep in the bottom of the
shaft, the prospect being good to lessen
the water very shortly. The Alps is still
extracting daily Is tons of ore and the
Floral or Alps mill is turning out 81, 900
daily. The American Flag mine is doing
some good work and the mill is being
RAPIDLY repaired to start in again. The
Phoebe and Antilles keep to work and
have good prospects of striking body
Of ore daily Work has commenced on
the 9th level of the Meadow Valley mine.
Bullion shipments for the week ending
February Goth, 1876 amount to S55, 151.
which is healthy showing.
ALPS MINE.
The lower drift in this nina in the
last few days is looking very favorable,
and formation of black quartzits has
been struck during that time. Work on
the upper levels are still continued with
the same success. Shifts run night and
day and about Is tons OF ore extracted
daily which at the present time, owing to
the scarcity of quicksilver keeps the
mill running. The prospects of the
mine look well.
