pay-days, with the largely increased
amount Of coin put in circulation over
that of former ones since the first ri
the year, is a very encouraging feature,
and one calculated to infuse new life
into all industrial and mercantile cir
Giles. The full benefit has not yet been
felt, although the miners and laborers
have disbursed a large O of
money in paying off old scores and
squaring up The money
locked up in coal receipts-and there
are very few business men in Eureka
who do not hold some of these collat-
erals-will be loosed by the beginning
OF the week, aud at least a quarter of a
million dollars will be paid out in re-
deeming these evidences OF indebted
ness. Counting up the items of labor.
coal, wood and other supplies, at least
half a million of dollars will be paid
out by local companies between the LIST
and 10th of the present month.
In CHANGING at the mining outlook,
any one acquainted with the situation
will pronounce 1t the brightest in the
history of the district. Not only are
the older mines being vigorously
worked, but q large mount of pros
pecting Is being carried on, those en-
gagged in that work being encouraged
by the fact that deep mining has
proved to be the one thing necessary
to develop he permanence of the vein,
M that the lode shows as well at the
lowest depth worked as at the crop.
pings or near the surface.
The Richmond Company have made
some important developments, hav-
ing, during the past week, uncovered
a splendid deposit, and one that prom
ises to be as rich and OF as great extent
as any ever found in the mine. The
richest OF this ore Is being sorted in the
mine, and is sent to the reduction
works in sacks, so as to prevent waste
in transportation, while that brought
down in the ordinary way is far above
the average in value. IL is probable,
as explorations are carried forward,
that the ore body will be found to ex-
tend downward to and below the sixth
level. The section of the mine where
these operations are being carried for
ward is virgin ground. never before
touched except in the running OF air
drifts, aud The company, in conse-
quence, have a right TO look for the
bsst of results.
A mere glance at the Eureka Con-
solidated il all that IN necessary, as the
SUI perintendent's weekly reports pub
lished in the SENTINEL, keep the inter
ested public well informed as to the
status Of the property. About 200 ons
of ore are extracted daily, and the full
reduction capacity OF the company is
employed in smelling the ore. This
quantity makes no impression on the
vast deposits in sight, and there is no APP.

The output does not come from

down from the fifth TO the tenth levels,
and this great bonanza, developed by
Superintendent Donnelly, is connected
for a distance of 600 feet. and how much
further 1t penetrates in depth can only
be ascertained by future ex ploration.
A number of the largest stockholders
in the property have visited and exam
ined II during the past two weeks, aud
all unite in pronouncing it a won
derfully rich mine, and the most val u
able of any on the coast with h pos
sible exception OF two on the Comstock.
The production for the month OF Sep
TENDER was something over $500 900,
and this return was necessarily limited
to the smelling capacity.
At the X X the usual amour of
work is being done with the same re-
suits. The output Of the mine is very
regular and of sufficient quantity to
keep the furnace in constant operation.
Superintendent Arlington is carrying
on operations very systematically and
with a view to the future. The output
OF ore comes from the fourth and fifth
levels. On the seventh a DRIFT is being
run To the southeast, and there is every
indication that the old ore body will
be found making downward. Mr..
Porter, a N experienced smelter, has
taken charge of the fureaces, aud uu
der his supervision everything is work
ing very smoothly. The company av-
erage about four shipments of bullion
per week.
At the Jackson the week has been
signalized by the completion of the ore
dump and the commencement of ore
extraction from the mine. The recent
improvements-branch railroad, ore
dumps, etc.-will aid very much in
the economical working of the prop
erty and facilitate operations. Some
delay has been experienced in placing
the pump in position, as some of the
Necessary fittings shipped from San
Francisco were delayed on the road,
but everything was received yesterday
morning, M Louis Loschenkohl and
assistants will have it in place by the
first of the week. A furnace at the
Richmond will start up on Jackson ore
to-day.
AT the Bald Eagle ore shipments
have been suspended until some need
ed air connections can be made, when
they will be resumed.
The shafts At the Satellite and Jeffer-
son are being carried downward, and
good progress is being made in both.
The Connolly mine is looking ex-
ceedingly well, and the same can be
said of its neiRhbor, the Industry.
Shipments Of ore from the latter are
being made to the Metamoras fur
mace. The connections between the
main shaft at the 450 foot level,
and the 600 foot east drift from the
Friday shaft, was made at the Ham
burg last night, and the ore body at
that point uncovered. 1t Is not proba-
BILE that any ore will be reduced this
season, but everything will be put in
shape for vigorous work mex spring.
A large amount Of dead work is be-
ing done at the Hoosac, and the new
shaft IL going down steadily. Men are
at work cleaning up and putting the
old workings in order. There is con-
