Other portions of the mine remain
unchanged. Our dumps at the mine
are all full, as no ore has been hoisted
for the last three days, owing to the
blockade in the cuts of the railroad by
snow. .,r

Everything has moved on in the
same groove at the Richmond during
the week. An average of 800 tons OF
ore is daily delivered at the furnaces,
and as regularly srneited. A shipment
of nine dore bars of bullion, valued at
Sl3 $50 81, was made on Wednesday.
We incorporate'the last report of SUI
perintendent Richard: ~
''Since my last there is nothing new
in the 500 drift; it is still in very bard
limestone. No work has beer done in
the 700 since last week; the driving wii!
be resumed on Monday. Tie 600 drjtt
has entered the ore making d04Itfiotn
the drift above since yesterday; can
not say much OF It's value, not having
opened on it sufficiently to judge. The
drift (prospecting) 81 feet above the 600
is siiff in ore; the total distance driven
in ore is $50 feet. We shall not open
on the ore struck in the 600 before this
drift is holed to No. 2 winze. Potts
chamber is about the same as last week.
The drift from the rise i'll Lizette tun-
mel extension is not looking so well as
twas; the ore is of very Tow grade.
The working on the west siHe is not
looking so well as it was; | think it is
only temporary falling OIL i'll the
value of the ore. We have begun the
sinking of the new shaft; the first set
Of timoers will be put in on Monday.
Smelting-All the furnaces are in
good working order. and smelling large
quantities OF ore. They are doing bet
ter work than they ever have done.
The weather is fine, and roads good
for hauling.
Work on the Skylark and X X
shafts has progressed steadily during
the past week. 1t is expected that the
seventh level will be reached in about
two weeks. The indications point to
the development OF a large ore body.
The furnaces have done the usual
m0un of work during the week, and
have turned out a large mount of
bullion. There are ! 200 tons of ore at
the furnace dump. The grade TO the
furnaces from the branch railroad is
completed, and hereafter ore viii be
delivered by cars. Superintendent
Arlington is one of our most compe-
tent mining men, and will give a good
account of the mine under his control.

All parties connected with the
Jackson are very reticent in regard to
the late developments, and the condi.
ton and prospects Of the mine are
mere surmise. The same complement
of men ares work, and Superinten-
dent Shaw is at the mine late and early.
If the Jackson i destined to renew its
palmy days, III citizens will be pleased
with the fact that it is in the hands of
parties who have done much to devei-
op the wealth of this district. iH

Since the connection between the.
new shaft and main drift was made
the work of timbering has been vigor-
ously prosecuted. About 100 feet re-
mains to be tinbered and the guides
for the safety cage placed in position.
The hoisting engines are Of the latest
aud most approved pattern, and all
the attachments, including reels, wire
cables, ETC., are in good order. The
mine employs about the usual force,
engaged in prospecting, retimbering
and getting ready TO extract ore. Mr..
Heyneinanu, of San Francisco, one of
the owners, has been on a visit to the
mine.
Hamburg Mine.
During the past week a fine body of
ore has been cut on the lS0-foot level
Pacific shaft. The east cross-cut from
this level has been driven 81 feet
through a solid body of first-class ore
without yet reaching the hanging wall.
This is no doubt a continuation OF the
large ore. body already opened upon
the. 100 foot level. The company will
build two furnaces in the spring aSearly
as the weather. will admit. There are
now on thedumps at the mine about .
900 tons of first-rlaSs ore. and large
| bodies opened up in the mine ready to
stope out when required. The work
ing shalt, which is a three compart-
ment shaft, each compartment 41ax4
ieet in the clear, is being sunk as rap
idly as possible. 1t is now down 80
feet, and is timbered in n substantial
manner. The whini now in use will
soon be replaced by a large hosting
engine of sufficient power to hoist 1000
feet.

The drift in 400-foot level has cut
through the hard rock-through which
they have been running for the past
month-and are now making excellent
Roadway towards the vein. From in
dications above. it is thought a large
body of ore will be found on this level,
West cross cut 800 foot level has Gu
the hanging wall and is now in vein
matter showing some punches OF high
grade ore.
south drift l5o- foot level looks very
favorable, showing a 4ioot vein o
quartz and decoinposed iron, carrying
some little ore of good quality.
