a base ore mine.
Nettie Mime
A great deal of prospect hg is being dol
and a large quantity of high grade free y
extracted. The bottom of the main shaft sho}
no change. The remarkably large and Il,
defined ore body on the 10 foot level is LODI
ing very well and yielding D great deal of go
ore. The tunnel on the west end of the mil
is still running on the ledge, the pay streak
this point being rich and veil defined. AtAI
FredOnla Mime
They are drifting east and west from the ID
tom of the shaft and opening out a large bod
very fair looking free ore.
The ore taken from this mine is not bell
worked at present, the Burlington mill bell
kept busy on ore from the Cora. At the
High Ore Mine
The sinking of the main shaft has been 81
pended, work at present being confined tod
extraction of ore from the stope in the wipI
from the east drift % foot level here the }
body, although of a low grade, CONTINUES
show very wide, being in places 16 feet fd
wall to wall. What percentage of this n
will pay l am not informed. 4a#
There are at present working only thrI
men underground. who extract from five ;
eight tons Of ore daily, besides doing the ID
bering, considerable OF which is necessary,
There should be more dead work done I
| this mine, as it certainly shows at presen|
fine prospect, which will probably, howevI
have to develop itself.
Burnett Mime
They are extracting about twelve tons of n
daily. The west drift from the tunnel sh0}
considerable improvement, the formation
the face being more solid. From this sect4
of the mine most of the ore at present bell
extracted is taken. 1t is the intention bef}
long to resume driving the drift east from
tunnel. Quite a body of ore was left ind
face of this drift when work was suspended
it, but the body of ore in the west DRIFT NJ
so large and being also of a higher grade, II
it was deemed unnecessary to do any md
prospecting in the eastern portion of Il
mine for the time being. Another tunnel
also in contemplation, it being intended to1
some one hundred and fifty feet further dol
the hill and run north about four hund1
feet, where the ledge should it keep its p4
ent dip, would probably be cut. At the
Tom Haney Mime
The contractors are still pushing the did
east and west on the twenty-five foot lI
running III a heavy body of fair looking md
ganese ore, of which a large quantity is bel
extracted and piled up on the dump. Att
National Mime
They are sinking a shaft with due dilligenI
and having little or no trouble with waud
The bottom is looking we'll. The west drift
the hundred and eighty foot level is runni|
through a fine body of copper and mangan3
ore, of which a large quantity is being axtrad|
and shipped to the smclter for reduct1
They are also taking out soine fine MILL
ore from the old slopes, although l believ|
present the quantity is small. .
Notes.
At the Colusa the main shaft is downd
hundred and twenty feet. Not much trout
from water.
The Buffalo is still looking well, and !
prospect is at present fiattering for the on
ing of another large reproducing mine.
On the Davey a shaft Is being sunk VIII
shows considerable fair looking copper ORD
Work has not yet been resumed on the 81
eca Chief, although with its present fatterI
prospect it car not remain idle long.
1t is said that the Parrot mine cham
hands during the week, Mr.. Meader being
purchaser. The figures are S 5000, $7g
$4,000 and $4,000. $1,000, however, III
the most authentic information seems to 4
been the price.
At the Mountain there are working betwi
twenty and thirty men, most of them on 4
the output of which is about the same
usual.
AT the Mount Maria about the avel
quantity is being extracted, although it is
of quite as high a grade as formerly.
