Progress i'm the Mine-Tho Legal
Proceedings.


The London Mining Journal Of Deem
Der S0th says Richmond shares are quoted
at SAT so and $50. The usual telegram
from the mines at Eureka states that the
weeks run was $50, 900, from 643 tons of
ore. During the week the refinery pro-
duced dore bars to the value Of $4,000.
The mine is looking very well, and they
were to start the No. l furnace on Wednes-
day. The manager Nov. 26) reports that
during the past week explorations have
been carried on in the mine with good
results. All the chambers are looking
fully as well as they were last week, and
On Monday they run down No. l furnace
to cut out accretious, and starred it up
again on Monday night. 1t is working
again very satisfactorily the last "a hours
they smelted go tons. The Directors half
yearly report, prepared for presentation
at the meeting on Tuesday, states that the
managers report, published every week in
the journal, have supplied the details of
the underground development. These
developments are of a most satisfactory
character. Chambers Nos. IL and II,
from which upwards OF 25 5000 tons Of ore
have been extracted, are still yielding large
quantities daily. Ore has been discovered
in several other parts of the mine. Two
new chambers, numbered IS and IA, have
been opened out on the sixth level, and
another between the 200 and 400 levels.
Ore has been struck on the 200 level, and
e11lA,-A l0.,, o1NNt On f1n< nl 1net1x-
ore has been struck on the 400 level under
the Tiptop ground-this latter discovery is
a most important one. The grade of the
| ore, which had fallen to SAG per ton
in March last, has gradually improved, the
average yield now being $50 per ton. The
| new furnaces are answering beyond expec-
| tation. When the recent discoveries of
ore have been properly opened out, it is
expected that a second large furnace will
be started. During the first six months Of
the current year 20,053 tons of Richmond
and 1885 tons of purchased ore have been
smelted, producing ASA tons of lead, 554,-
2SS ounces of silver, and 14,499 ounces of
gold. The refinery is working well. having
refined all the bullion produced by the
company during the six months, A 1858 tons.
The estimated net profit for the six months
| ending August 81, 1879, from mining,
smelling and refining is about the sum of
f7O, 600. The advance in the price Of lead
is fully maintained. They have sold 100
tons at SC per pound Tor s22 IS per Eng
lish toni, and will sell the remaining 5000
tons in stock as soon as possible. The
latest New York quotation is 5hc per
pound. Silver also commands a better
price. As regards the legal proceedings,
there is a possibility that the appeal case
may come on for hearing at Washington in
the course of a few months. The deposi-
! tions of the company's witnesses, as to the
value Of the ore removed from the portion
of g Potts Chamber" beyond the compro-
mise line extended, have been recently
taken at Eureka the effect of this evil
denceis to reduce, under any circumstances,
the sum claimed for damages to a nominal

Previous to commencing the present

cumulated at the Richmond furnaces. Mr..

has resulted in q gain to the company of
about 5000, 900. The daily shipments now
range from so to 60 tons, the railroad not
being able TO transport more without put

STATE POLITICS There is little or nc
excitement about political matters in Yer.
mont. 1t looks as though the convention
at Burlington next week will be very
quiet affair and that Col. Farnham will be
nominated for Governor and Mr.. Page for
treasurer without any particular contest
For acknowledgement but two names,
that Of Mr.. Munson not being allowed tc
be used by him, are mentioned that We
have seen, Col. Clarke, of St. Adams and
Gen. Barstow Of South Burlington; either
of these gentlemen would preside with
credit over the Senate.
For congress there seems to be no oppo.
siton to Mr.. Tyler in the I'd district or tc
Gen. Grout in the Sd. In this district the
nomination will probably 60 to Ex-Gov.
Stewart who is doubtless the strongest
man for the place. An able lawyer ard
upright man he will do honor to the dis
trict. 1t is said that some clucuses have
been held in Addison county prior to the
calling of the district convention and with
out general notice-and that delegates
opposed to Gov. Stewart were chosen by
the means. Caucuses should be be called
time enough beforehand to give folks
notice-then, whosover wins, it is all right
but any attempt at the little, nasty trick O
snap caucus will reach on any candidate
whose supporters sanction it. That sort o
thing is played out, or if not it will bt
bounced cut when found.
