A Favorable Mention OF Several
Prominent Mines.

A Favorable Mention Of Several
Prominent Mines.
The subjoined mention Of several prom
ising mining claims is from the Ruby Hill
'MininS Report Of Thursday
Silver Conner The yield Of ore from
this mine Is as great and regular as ever.
There are immense deposits Of low-grade
ore in this mine, which under the restricted
process Of smelling, and the comparative
expense Of this treatment, cannot at this
time be taken out. The day cannot be far
distant when some Freiberger will arrive
with a cheap and effective method Of treat
ment for all of our low-grade ores.
Price & Davis-This mine will be started
up next month. Parties who went East
On business for this Company have been
successful in their negotiations for steady
work ON this property, which adjoins the
Albion and the Northwestern Consolidated
Company's mines.
Silver Rock Tunnel-Work was CON-
menced on this tunnel day before yester-
day. This is the most easterly tunnel site
of any with which 1t is proposed to pierce
Prospect Mountain. Its course lies under
some Of the most valuable mines in this
celebrated old hill.
Jacksonville ore dump of this mine
will be very soon relieved Of their burden,
and will be rapidly reflled from the ore
bodies, which have been thoroughly pros
pected during the suspension of shipping
ore, cansed by the closing down of the
Metamoras urnac
Metamoras Furnace-Tbis furnace will
very soon start up. Such an occurrence is
greatly desired, for very many Of the mines
in the district are suffering for q market
for their ores. We are anxious to see
Colonel Taylor's "Dust Trap" emitting
ETHEREAL vapors.
Grant-A very fine lot Of high-erade ore,
running up into the hundreds, has been
shipped from this mine to the Richmond
furnaces. The outlook at the mine is ex-
tremely encouraging, and the ore body
shows very finely.
K-The work at the mine is progress
ing as usual. The very great decrease in
the amount Of water in the lower levels Of
this mine is a great relief to the workmen,
and saves a heavy drain upon the exchequer
of the Company.
Ore from the Silver Lick, Macon City,
and General Lee mines, have been received
at the Richmond Company Furnaces this
htths ~ L Va
Hill and have yielded some of the richest
ores in the district.
Kit Carson--The miners have not yet
succeeded in reaching the bottom Of the
ore body in the cave. May they sink eter-
nally. A shipment Of ore was made from
this mine during the week.
Richmond-The output from this prop
erty is greater than the demands Of the fur
naces. The result is that the hydrocycle
which has been undergoing repairs will be
very soon started up.
Needle-Work has been resumed on this
property. The workmen are sinking on
the ore streak, which is very rich. and has
always well repaid the owners for work
ing it.
Phenix-The prospects here are exceed
iugly encouraging. The dimensions Of the
ore body are increased with each days
work, over which Superintendent AIRING
ton feels greatly encouraged.
Williams The steady yield of ore from
this mine, is one of the best Of the many
evidences of the depth and permanency OF
the ore deposits on old Prospect.
