II JACKSON.
A considerable quantity of ore ha,
been taken out OF the mine during the
week from the ore body on the $50. foo
level. all Of which has been shipped tc
the Richmond furnace. On the same
level drifts are being run north and
sonth, In which the miners are raising
for ore. The pump, lately placed in
the shat, broke down early in the
week, and in consequences some
changes have been made. A pump
station will be cut out at the 800 foot
level and an additional pump put in oil
that point, the water being raised from
the stump to a tank at the new station,
and then forced to tho surface. As
soon as the work Is completed, the
main shalt will DO carried down an ad
ditional 100 feet, and q drift run to in
tersect the ore body underneath. where
II Is found on the level above. We
look for some good developments "
soon ~ this work Is com pleted.
MORTIMER MINE.
A wiuze Is being sunk in ore below
the l00-foot level. Several tons OF
rich ore have Aeen extracted during
the past week. The vein Is not large.
but the ore Is Of high grade, working
from $3.50 to $500 per ton, and carries
from 6O &c 20 per cent lead.
HAMBURG MINE.
Work Is being vigorously prosecut-
ed OF the 450.foot level. A Wine is
being sunk on the ore, which constant.
ly improves both in size and character
as depth is attained. A drift is also
being run s~outherly along the vein
following ore.
On the $50 foot level the south drift
and west cross-cuts, No. l and 2, are In
favorable vein matter.
A considerable body OF high grade
ore vas developed during the past
week in the old Wade incline, which
Is now connected with the $50 foot
level of the main shaft.
THE METAMoRAs.
The Metamoras Company are carry
ing forward their improvements with
great rspidity, and will complete their
new works, both al the mine and fur.
mace, at the earliest POSSIBLE moment.
The hosting machinery to be used at
the mine was received yesterday
morning, and will be sent to Ruby
Hill by rail to-day, from whence it
will be taken to the mine. The engine.
boilers aud reel are fine specimens OF
workmanship, and are first class in
every particular. The furnace is near
ly finished. the stone work having
reached the roof of the feed floor.
From this point the stack will be built
OF brick, and will be carried some
eight or ten feet above the apex of the
roof. There is a large accumulation OF
ore at the furnace dumps, and quito a
quantity Is being e n up out of the
mine. 1t is stated that everything will
be in readiness to M opera

THE INDUSTRY NINE.
Captain Foley communicates the
following in regard to this mine:
The history Of the Industry mine
demonstrates the fact that there is n
peculisrism connected with every
mine in this district for the study OF
those who intend to make a paying
institution of the same. Twenty five
months ago the present manager leased
the mine. Not a pound OF ore was in
sight at that time; nothing could be
had on the credit Of the mine; he
worked alone, with a careful, perse-
vering, mining intelligence that is now
meeting its reward. One hundred and
fifty tons of ore have been extracted
within the last four months, averaging
in gold and silver 500 per ton. MIR.
Maurice Hartnett discovered the mine
early in 1870. He thoroughly I'M
understands il, aud from his knowl-
edge he is at the present time making
a good paying institution. of the In
dustry. 1t is worked by a tunnel 200
ieet in length. Ga feet high and 6 feet
wide, and timbered at intervals along
its length. About so feet from the
mouth of the tunnel q seam of ore
with q quartz gangue is found. one
inch in thickness, running nearly nor
izontal with a wavy outline for $50
feet, and a varying width Of from one
inch tn SO inches. The prosecuting
aggregates about 90 feet in length.
Considerable ore Is being taken from
the drifts. The tunnel continues west
so feet from crosscut No. 3, with ore
from six to "a inches in thickness, Of
the same quality as in the main tunnel
and drifts. The mine is owned by
Lawrence Hartnett and the British
| Mill and Mining Company. There is
at this time about 80 tons Of $500 ore
on the dump, awaiting shipment,
| Great credit is due the Hartnett Broth
ers for their energy and sagacity IN the
development of the property, which is
to-day one of the very best Of the
many valuable mines on Prospect
Mountain. Ten men are employed Ia
the prosecution OF operations.
