AMONG THE MINES.
REPORTS FROM ALL OVER THE DISTRICT.


>&MCCms
The Mining News of yesterday has thu
annexed local mining intelligence: TIL
usual amount of ore has been extracted ant
shipped from both the Eureka Con. ant
Richmond mines the past week, and Their
is nothing new to note about either.
Only q small force is now at work in thu
! X K, and its hosting works have been per
manently closed, the work now being don't
through the shaft Of the Eureka Con.
Work on the new shaft is progressing
steadily, and it is now down in the neigh
borhood of so feet.
APRIL YIELD.
During April the Eureka Con. yielded
Sill 500 in gold, $40, 400 in silver, and $13..
300 in lead, q total Of S43. 800. This small
amount, it should be remembered, is due
to the fact that the furnaces were closed
one-half Of the time.
THE CALIFORNIA.
This mine, which has proved q regular
bonanza to its owners, is being placed in
first-class working order. The shaft, which
is now over $50 feet deep, ia being timbered
and will be sunk 100 feet deeper, when q
| drift will be run to reach the body Of orr
| opened on the l50-foot level.
SILVER COMMON.
This mine, owned by Messrs. Johnson,
| Stowell, and others, was bonded from May
LIST until July 1st. We learn that the own
ers now regret this step. and would prefer
| working the mine themselves. 1t is con-
coded to be one OF the best properties in
| the district. and the result OF its future de-
velopment will be watched with interest.
puNDERBERG AND BULLwHAcKER.
Operations in the Bullwhacker have been
temporarily suspended, but will be re-
sumed shortly. An average OF 20 tons OF
ore, assaying from sos to 500, is shipped
daily from. the Dunderberg to the Rich
mond reduction works.
SILVER QUEEN.
The Jones Brothers have made another
| strike in this Silyerado mine, q vein OF ore
having been opened on Thursday, which
varies in width from five to eight inches,
and which, it is estimated, will assay away
up into the hundreds.
ELDoRADo.
The recent developments in the Edo
RADIO is steadily improving as the ore bodies
are being uncovered. A few days ago Mr..
Reilley opened up a seam of very rich car
Donate In a portion OF the mine never be-
fore prospected, which will run from $500
to $500 per ton. At present there are only
three men employed in the mine, but as
soon as connection is made with the old
works a large force will be put to work ex-
tracing ore, and we hope then to see Mr..
Kelley meet with the reward that he has
SO richly merited.
A force has been put to work on
THE ALPS MINE,
Owned by Tom Haley and J. T. Baker,
and are taking out considerable ore, which
assays s2l4. This is a valuable property,
and is situate in the center of one Of the
richest group OF rlines on Prospect Noun
tain, having the Banner on the west, the
San Jose on the east, the famous Silver
| Conner series on the north, and the Emmett
| Consolidated on the south. We hope John
will strike a bonanza, so that his 'barT'
will be in good condition for the campaign.

THE PIUTE mi INDUSTRY
With satisfactory results. The formation
has undergone an entire change during
the past week, and if there is anything in
indications it is evident that q large cham
Der is close at hand.

feet on
THE CANOES MINE,
Between the Sunset and Eldorado. At the
surface q small seam Of ore was discovered,
which has been followed to the bottom OF
