MINES AND MINERS.
A WEEK MARKED BY LITTLE SAVE ROUTINE
WORK.
Mining Matters At Home md
Abroad.

AVEOWWs
There is nothing unusual to note con-
corning our mines for the past week, save
the striking Of some rich ore in tho Needle
mine, which belongs to the Charter Tun-
mel Company. 1t is about the same quality
as that takon from the same mine some
weeks since, and which assayed 81, 1907.
There exists q difference Of opinion as to
whether it is a free milling ore or not,
many asserting in the affirmative.
Major Mccoy is highly elated over the
result of his work in the Grant mine, and
som h~igh-grade ore is now being taken out.
The Eurcka Consolidated.
Mr.. Donnelly reports as follows:
Mining operations have been carried for
ward with good progress generally, there
having been 119 feet Of drifts and raises
completed during the week. The several
ore bodies continue to look irst-ratc, and
promise well for the future. Started No.
l furnace to-day. No. 8 furnace will be
run down in a day or two for refining, and
started again at the earliest moment. The
following work has been done in the several
levels since last report:
Fifth level-South drift has been adj
vanced 20 feet, and il now in 43S feet.
Northeast drift continued IL feet, and is
now in IS feet. Drift looking well, with
favorable prospects.
Seventh level-East drift from chute con-
tinued Is feet, and is now in 1873 feet.
Eleventh levei-West drift from ore
chamber continued 20 feet, and is now in
81 feet, with face Of drift in good ore.
Twelfth level East drift from crosscut
| No. l continued % feet, and is now in 303
| feet. Raise from west drift made 20 feet,
and is now up 81 feet.
Thirteenth level-Have completed sta
ton and are opening out space for pump
and water tank. Will lie ready to com
mence drifting from this station sometime
during the week.
The Hamburg.
Superintendent Powell reports opera
tons for the week as follows The inter-
| making a total Of AZ feet from the cross
cut. The vein is quite strong at this point,
carrying about three feet in width on the
eastern side Of heavy gray carbonate ore.
Of extra good quality. The 600-foot level
Wine was sunk 10 feet, making a total of
81 feet below the 600-foot level. There is
no special change to note. The west cross
cut has been advanced 30 feet, making a
total OF 1870 feet from the south drift. 1t is
our intention to continue this crosscut I'M
til the quartzite foot-wall is reached. The
south drift from the west crosscut was adj
vanced 32 feet, making a total length Of Sc
feet. Several small punches Of good ore
were cut. The face is still in favorable vein
matter.
From Tenn Pahute.
A gentleman who returned from the
a~bove-named district yesterday, informed
us that the mining outlook improves very
much as development Is made. He thinks
the Philadelphia Company, who are the
owners of the Wyandotte series OF mines,
| will soon have the finest mining property
in the State. John Kileen, foreman Of the
Philsdelphia Company, has just taken mp
an extension on the north end OF the Wy
andotte series.

From the Phoebe Record Of the 9Th.
T. u. Pheby, Superintendent, says: 1
arrived here on the 30th ultimo and took
charge of the company's property immedi-
ately. / have only examined the workings
below the 18th level as yet will examine
the upper levels to day. There has been
but very little work done on the 1,300
level ; the ledge has not been crosscut, but
| shows very well where it has been broken
| into. The 400 level has two crosscuts,
only about Is feet apart. The ledge seems
to be broken up n little at this point from
4 the inAuapea ff a erpax eotrsa flat rnns
through at this point. MY intention is to
run each drift at least 100 feet from the
cross course before doing any more cross
cutting I; at which points l expect to find
q woll-defined ledge Of good ore. The
Wine il down fifty feet below the
400 level, in good sinking ground. and
all heavily charged with mineral. l can
get from $50 to $40 assays in almost any
Of it. We are sinking in the hanging
wall Of the ledge; about fifteen feet from
the ledge the formation has such q fine
healthy look that i feel almost sure Of
finding a large rich body Of ore; the l,50e-
foot level will determine this in about two
months.
LATER
At present the winze is 90 feet below the
400 level, in a fine p~orphyry formation
heavily charged with mineral; will cross
cut the 400 and 1900 levels in 80 days.
The raise from the 1900 level is showing
finely; four feet drill hole put in yesterday
shows assays Of sl20 per ton. Mine and
mill running finely; mine producing about
400 tons Of ore per month, assay value,
$500 per ton.
At EfOme and Abroad.
The "Silver State" says that the Bea-
consfield Company, whose mine in Winnie
mucca Mountain is looking well and yield
ing rich carbonate ore, contemplate build
ing a smelling furnace and having their
| ore reduced here instead of shipping il to
Salt Lake, az heretofore.
Silver District, Arizona. is developing
some rich silver lodges. A town has been
| laid out at Norton's Landing on the Colo
| RADIO river, four miles and a half from the
mines.
The bullion shipment from Tuscarora,
for the month Of January, amounted to
$50, 7S1 IS.
The Savage and Belcher Mining Compa-
mics have levied assessments Of 81 each on
their capital stock.
Furnace No. /, at the Eureka Consoli-
dated, was started on Saturday, and is
running smoothly. No. 8 was closed for
repairs yesterday.
The Eureka Consolidated paid out S104,-
900 on their last pay day.
Twenty tons of bullion, the product Of
the Jackson mine. were shipped from the
Mctamoras yesterday. Workmon at the
Metamoras we're placing their new boiler
in position yesterday.
