LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

Owing to the closing down OF the
Alps mill and the Raymond and Ely
mill not having started, the bullion ship
ments for the past week only amounted
to 1854. The stoppage of the Alps
mill was caused by the Raymond " Ely
pump ceasing to run. 1t stopped for
various repairs and it will probably be q
week longer before the pump will be
again started to work. In the Raymond
Il Ely mine prospect work on the various
levels, is still continued without varia-
ton and will so continue for the present
without developments are made above
the water level. The Meadow Valley
hosting works are progressing as rapid
ly as possible, the appearance Of the
work in progress and the number of men
at work, presenting the appearance of q
beehive to spectator. Chloriding in
the mine still continues without ap.
parent change. The main shafts of the
American Flag and Phoebe mines are
being sunk pretty rapidly, but as yet
have developed nothing important The
Alps mine is extracting ore, but is not
shipping any bullion owing to the mill
being closed down. The HUM & Hunt
and Washington & Creole mines still
continue working with their same force
of men and are doing fair in the extract
ing of ore. In regard to the smelling
furnace TO be built by the citizens, no
farther progress has been made than the
subscribing of SIS 900. A project is now
under way to build furnace and con-
contractor at Bullionville for the purpose
of working the talings of the Raymond
u Ely Company at that place. Good
business men have the matter in hand
and will push it through to completion
and success. The present outlook OF
mining affairs, present dull front.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
During the past week ore cars have
been running nearly every day to Bull
lionville, conveying ore to the mill, pre-
paratory to the mill starting to work
again, which is daily expected. The
pump was stopped working on Monday
last for repairs to the teeth, &C., and IT
will probably be a week longer before il
Will be started to work again. In the
IN eantime, the work on the prospect lev
els, drifts and wines, is pushed forward
with fair success, considerable ore hav
been extracted and shipped. No new
developments can be expected at present
except such as are made above the watel
level.
MEADOW VALLEY
At the hosting works of this mine
business is progressing rapidly. TIL,
engines are in place, and they are now
liking the steam pipe to make connection
with the boiler. Eighty tons of pump
ing machinery are now on the road be
tween San Francisco and Phoebe. Othe
Work around the works is going on pre-
parstory to the pumping material arriv

ALPS
Are still drifting on the lower level
