LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

LOCAL M1NlN1 nEt INV
In mining matters there are very few
changes to note from our review of last
week. The amount of bullion shipped
by Wells, Fargo & Co. for the past week
was $44, $50, an excess Of over five thou
sand on the previous week. The build
ing for the Meadow Valley hosting
works is being rapidly covered and the
work continues as usual in the mine.
The pump in the Raymond & Ely mine
is working about the same rate, 81
strokes per minute and the mine yields
the usual quantity of ore. The Alps
mill turued out $4,000 in bullion last
week. The American Flag mine and
mill continue steadily at work without
change worthy OF note. The Newark
mill has been steadily at work the past
week on chloriders' ore. In the Phoebe
tho prospects look about the same as
heretofore noted. Ore from Toquerville,
Utah, has been brought to Phoebe and
worked at the Alps mill to the entire
satisfaction Of all concerned. Prospect
ing around in the neighborhood Of the
Alps and towards Highland is going on
vigorously with varied results. The de-
mand now is for good smelling furnace
so that smelling ore can be worked TO an
advantage near Highland, as it will not
pay enough to have it hauled long dis
lance. It is to be hoped that some cap
italists will take this matter in hand.
Our prospectors are sanguine of striking
something rich during the Spring and
Summer months.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
The pump in this mine is not being
run to its full capacity, those in charge
running itgenerally at the rate OF about
SH strokes per minute, at which rate
Mey have the control of the water in the
main shaft. The work OF running in the
prospect drifts of the eight, ninth,
tenth and eleventh levels still continues.
The company is extracting on an average
seventy-five tons OF ore daily. The mills
are producing bullion at rapid rate,
having shipped during the last weel
about $500 The general appearance
OF the mine remains about the same,
plenty Of ore being in sight.
ALPS.
Nothing new to report in this mine
The upper levels still continue to yielt
the accustomed average Of ore. about fl
teen tons daily. The levels all look wei
and show splendid body of ore. Th,
work on them is being pushed as vigor
ously as possible. In the lower drift
work is continued night and day, bu
owing to the hardness OF the rock tn
progress is necessarily slow. The min
is now making q good showing and pay
ing regular dividends.
AMERICAN FLAG.
No new Developments in this mine
Work still continues on the new ledg
on the second and third levels, on whic
they are drifting, the indications bein
very dattering. Ore is extracted rapid
and shipped to the comrany's mill q
bullonville, which is kept CONSTANT
running on that and chloriders' ore.
