Notes Regarding various Proper
tiles Throughout In District.
The SENTINEL is DESTROYS Of publishing
everything concerning the mines Of the
district, and hence it draws pretty heavily
on the columns Of the Mining News. That
journal Of yesterday contains the following
notes Of interest:
The DaIesfOrd,
Located on the west side Of Prospect Noun
tain, and owned by Mr.. W. Leyshon and
Col. G.. Collier Robbins, has been placed
on the Eastern market, and negotiations
for its purchase are in progress. The mine
is said to possess merits equal to any prop
erty equally developed on the mountain.
There are three surface lodges within a
radius Of go feet, one of which has been
followed a distance of 400 feet, and samples
taken from different parts OF the various
lodges have assayed from $40 TO Sl6o. A
tunnel has been started that Will cut them
at a depth of 100 feet, and 1t Is thought
that the three lodges will have combined
before reaching that depth. Years ago,
before furnaces were built In Eureka. a
number of Mexicans packed ore from this
mine to Austin at a profit. A wagon road
can be made to the mine at a trifling cost.
We understand that some San Francisco
capitalists have offered to bond the mine,
but the owners having offered it to Eastern
parties for a stated sum, annot take action
until after learning their decision.
The Alexandria
This somewhat famous Prospect Noun
tain mine is now owned by a Detroit COM
pany. 1t has been incorporated under the
laws Of Michigan, and is known as the Al
exander Mining and Smelling Company.
Mr.. Heavenrich, one of the most prominent
business men of Detroit, is President.
There are 40, 1000 shares, Of a par value Of
$25, making a nominal capital OF 81, ZOO,
600. OF this amount 10000 shares have
been set aside as a working capital, and as
the stock sells readily in the East at 50 50
per share, the company will start out with
a fund of $40, 900 with which to develop
the mine. Work was commenced on Tues
day under the superintepdency of Frank
Robbins. Frank is energetic and capable,
and if the Alexander does not, before many
months, make an excellent showing, it will
be a matter Of surprise to miners who have
been familiar with its outlook.
The silver State.
One Of the Peterson claims, and now
owned by the Peterson brothers and Hon.
Thos. Wren, will be worked during the
coming summer. A piece of ore was found,
a few days since, near the groupings of the
mine, which, it is asserted, will pay So, 900.
The property has always been regarded as
valuable, and after waiting patiently fol
years. the Petersons are about to have Its
worth practically tested.
The Richmond.
Ore is being taken from the second te
the sixth level, and the seventh, eighth and
ninth are being prospected. The usual
amount of ore has been extracted this weel
and shipped to the furnaces. Ten or twelve
contracts will be let to-day for the presenf
month.
The Hamburg.
Superintendent Powell is rapidly push
ing the work in this mine. Contracts hav'
Just been let for running drifts 200 feet il
a northerly and southerly direction from
the 850-foot level. The shaft passed through
a body of low grade ore at a depth of oOl
| feet.
Ell Dorado No. 2.
A body of yellow carbonate, richer thai
any ore of the like character heretofore en-
countered in this mine, was struck earl.
in the week at a depth of 100 feet. This il
the second body reported struck in thi
mine recently, and renewed interest IS Eel
in its development. 1t is now worked un
der lease by Fifeld and Malloy.
The Albion.
The new winze in the Albion is down q
feet, and drifts are being run north ant
south. Mr.. Potts is ~sanguine he will soor
encounter a body of ore in u%ndisputed AL
bion ground.
The Sam Jose.
The lessees of the San Jose struck an
other ledge Of rich ore the other day, jus
northeast Of the one recently discovered.
Minor Notes.
Abram Laird has been appointed fore
man Of the Alexandria.
W. T. Leyshon has just sold one Of hi
claims on the west side of Prospect Noun
tain for $1,000.
Martin Piantoni, of the Dead Broke, ha
80 tons Of ore on his dump which will as
say $3.50. He is about to build a road fror
the Williams to his mine.
Mr.. McGarry, of the Union, has a bod,
of ore 80 feet wide, increasing in size a
depth is attained. There are now rs ton
of ore on the dump.
McGarry and Taylor declare they wi
keep the pack trains busy on the east sid
