The London Mining Journal contains
the following reports from the superinten-

been made between No. 10 and No. IS
chambers, thereby laying open q large
piece of ore ground the No. Is is looking

order, and smelling an average guam tity
of ore.
RUBY CONSOLIDATED.
The Importance Of their having met with
ore On the Home Ticket in paying quanti-
ties cannot we'll be over-estimated, as there
are backs of upwards Of 60 fathoms from
the point of intersection in the crosscut to
the lowest depth of the deposit Of ore
worked down to from above. 1t is import
ant also that the Bullwhacker is reported as
paying cost. Other parts of the mine are
opening out in a satisfactory manner.
EBERHARpr AND AURORA.
The work is not processing as fast as we
might wish, but the character Of the rock
is more favorable for ore, it being highly
silicious and better grained sometimes in
next blast will bring us to light quartz. if
not ore. What the final result will be it is
impossible to say, but l feel very much en-
Outraged to say that w will soon come
upon something that will repay us the
great expense of running the tunnel. I
would advise that the company should not
feel too sanguine, for fear we might be dis
appointed; but l aim to report everything
that transpires in our progress, so that the
company should be as fully informed as

gress the tunnel must be verging on our
ground, and this would indicate that our
lead, containing ore, has been struck at
about 1,400 feet below the surface. The
Directors will take steps to convene a meet

SOUTH AURORA
A great advance has taken place in these
shares during the week. upon the long
looked for discovery of ore in the Eber-
hardt tunnel. This appears to be very
nearly, if not quite, upon the property Of
this company, and it is remarked that it is
impossible to ~foretell the result; should it
prove to be a rich body of ore, the inn
portance of the find N be overesti-
mated. The capital Of the company, when
known as the South Aurora Consolidated
Mining Company, was f300, 900, being in
60, 900 shares Of IS each. As at present
constituted, the amount has been reduced
to 200, 900 pounds, in shares Of fl each.
