RAYMOND AND ELY. - The last official
letter regarding this mine says: All work
is progressing satisfactory in and about
the mine. The raise which was being
carried up from the west drift on the
18th level has been run through and con-
nected with the winzs sunk from the
10th level, furnishing good circulation
OF air, and we are now engaged in push
ing the main drift westward, and rea-
sonable hope may be entertained that
the favorable vein matter found in the
west drift on the 10th level may improve
as depth is attained, and may possibly
develop ore between the end of this drift
and the west crosshead. The drift being
run west from the winzs sunk from the
7th level, 290 feet west OF shaft, has now
length of 80 feet, and is still following
q strong well-dsfined vein. carrying little
good ore. The stratum only shows
about Is inches above the bottom OF the
drift and looks strong enough to make
down. A prospect drift is being run
from the winzs west OF the main
shaft between the 9th and 7th levels,
which is showing o very promising
formation, and as there il considerable
solid ground in the locality where We are
running the drift may possibly develop
little ore. The water in the main shaft
is up within 90 feet OF the 18th level, and
before the pump is in operation again it
will reach the point where it was hrst en-
countered in the shaft.
CONDOR MILL LEASED. The Alps Min
ing Company, 30 we learn from Theo. A.
Hale, hos leased the Condor mill in
Condor Canyon for six months. That
company has also purchased the tailings
and concentrations at that mill from w.
E. Griffin. The Condor mill will be run
in conjunction with the Alps mill. The
report that was circulated in regard to
stopping Of the Alps mill in consequences
Of the company having leased the Con-
dor is without foundation as both mills
will be kept going.
