come 30 large ana extensive tnat ~ Has
been found necessary to change the
manner of working, having it an under
hand stope instead of an overland
stope, and the car-track will be pushed
to the extreme end. The winze is down
40 feet in very favorable formation, with
punches of good ore. In the south drift,
Wednesday night last, struck new ORE
body, the average width, as far as can
seen, being four feet. Have run on it IL
feet, and it still continues, top and bot
tom of level being in good ore, averag-
ing from $500 to $780, This is very
important development as it is entirely
in virgin ground, there being no work
above it or below, and it is at least 100
feet below the groupings and about 70
feet south of upper shaft. From pres
emit indications it appears to be part of a
large and rich ore-body.
MAYFIowER.-The north drift is in 125
feet; face still continues in good ore.
In the south drift very rich ore has been
taken out. The crosse east from the
north drift has got through the lime
stone and is in good average ore. Dur
ing past week have shipped about six
tons daily. which has now been increased
to twelve tons.
GREAT EAsTERN.-The north drift is in
II feet; two-thirds of face of drift in
ore that will average over 500. The
south drift will be started to-day. The
work done shows a great improvement
and gives promise of important develop
ments.
BAY STATE.-But little has been done
during the past week, the time having
been spent in making new hosting ar
rangements. The bottom of the incline
is in limestone.
20-sTMP Mill The 20-stamp mill
started on the 7th, but owing to the bad
condition of pans and tanks it has done
but little or no work up to the present
time. It is now working better and we
anticipate that most of the trouble is
over.
AIps.-Everything is progressing nice
| ly around this mine. The lower drift is
in 100 feet. The mill is still running
regularly.
P1ocHE BULLIoN.-$S,O24.S in bull.
lion was shipped during the past week,
according to reports of Superintendent.
EPISCOPAL CHURcH.-Services will be
held at the Episcopal Church on Sun.
day, evening at the usual hour.
R. & E. BULLION The Raymond &
Ely Company shipped $1O,264 up to the
10th instant.
Virginia Chronicle: During the pas
week many inventors have brought tt
this Office unlocking devices which art
intended to prevent cages from running
into the sheaves. They are all deficient
in that no provision is made for taking
care of the cable after it has been dis
engaged from the cage, and are there
fore not likely to be adopted. 7. Kelly
carpenter of this city, claims to hav
invented something that is fitted with al
attachment that will convey the cabl
back to the reel after it is unlocked from
the cage. He has shown his device t,
W. H. Patton, assistant superintendent
OF the California and Con. Virgini
mines, and he thinks favorably of tn
invention. If it should do what the in
ventor claims for it, it will doubtless b
generally adopted along the lode, as tn
mining superintendents are very genel
ally agreed that something of the kin
is needed. The cost will not exceed on
hundred dollars.
