The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1880-01-10


tain and explain for the information of
Eastern shareholders in the Hillside, why
it was that with SO heavy bullion pro-
duct i. was necessary to impose heavy
assessment upon the Hillside stock
holasrs?-[N. Y. Mining Record.
The Hillside Company of late have
been under very heavy expense, having
to erect new hoisting-works, and ere at.
present engaged building, and have
about completed, refinery works and
water-jacket furnace, which are all great
" needed to work the mine to good ad-
vantage, and although the bullion pro-
duct of the Hillside mine reached . very
handsome fgure--it ranking as the third
largest base bullion producing mine in
Nevsda-yet it was not sufficient to cover
the heavy expenses incurred in putting
up these Improvements. The Hillside
Company have been troubled by an in.
sufficient water-supply and were CON-
PEELED TO purchase the Fairview Springs.
situated about ten miles distant from
the furnace site, and the water will
have TO be brought by iron pipes,
which also adds another heavy ex.
pense to the above. 1t takes consider
able time and money to get mining
corportion in good running order, and
the Hillside Company ia no exception to
this rule. We hope the above explans-
ton will be satisfactory to the Eastern
| shareholders.
That Rich DIsCovERY.-- Some three
weeks ago the Miner. OF Silver Reef, re-
ported the arrival in that town of man
who had some very rich rock, who stated
that he had discovered very rich ledge
in the lower end of Lincoln county.
The samples assayed very high and ere
sted little excitement among the indi-
viduals who were to have slice OF the
"plum pudding" John Rice and an
other party fitted cut Jim Cronan and
sent him out with the discoverer to take
a look at the new baby elephant and re-
port whether it was q male or female.
A prospector just up from the lower end
of the county reports having met Crenan
and his man. Jim told him when they
arrived at the new find there was moth.
ing there and the samples displayed were
from Ivanpah. Before jim left the Reef
he wrote up here to Chandler that the
rock was from Ivanpah, or else he was
greatly fooled, and such proves to be the
case. Jim has gone down in the vicinity
of Ell Dorado Canyon in search of q gold
ledge; we believe the same that be was
in search of some tive years ago.
DAY OFFICIAL LETTER.-The following
is the official letter of A. s. Gould Super
intendent of the Day mine, dated Janu-
airy 9th: "Our east incline winze, which
We started last Tuesday, is progressing
finely and looks better than we had
hoped for. 1t is only down about six
feet, but the whole bottom shows good
ore. In nay opinion, this is the vein
which we struck in our west workings
from the foot of the big cave, and which
all at once pitched east, obliging US tc
come back to the tunnel level and start 9
new hosting passage. We had no idea
of finding the vein short of at least sc
feet. Getting it, as we do, SO quickly
and so handsomely, encourages US very
much. On the last week We have made
on our different explorations 80 feet, ow
ing to being short-handed. The las
shipment of our ore to the Raymond
Ely mill was received at Bullionville las
night. Battery assays about as usual.
