OLD 4.iHH.I..lhfF T IN l--. Last Sunday vea-atr visited the sev- eral properties owned br the above named comusur. and -ouud them look ing better ,Iau tgcr 4 the New York and Chicago preparations are being made for the reception oi two @Lton smelterS which are now CD route from San Francisco. The opening of the mines is being U-Ha4 ahead vigorously, and as the w..E advances the showing CT ore increases. A crusscut Is being made ssuth from ta, tunnel, where con uecfIau was made with tla shaft, and IS m about G5 feet The face is in ore, and how much faIfHe- ahead the south wall will be found can only be ascer- taiued by pushing through the ledge. Indications Cu the su face. however, lead us Co ieiicy. tiat 1t will not be found much under l5 feet. The I5-ioot shaft is au admirable piece uL work, being as straight as an arrow. well timbcred and shows ore Co the bottom. The boarding house is about ready for occupancy, and will be a matter of ereat convenience to all concerned when placed m proper hands The Old Dominion tunnel shows the ore body widening very fast Con nection is doubtless made with the shaft by this time by an uprise from the tun- mel. From the showing of ore in these properties, We are in doubt as tO the smelters being able Co handle all the ore that can be taken out, but the company means business and have authorized the superintendent to order additional smelters if in his opinion they will be required.
 FL CAPTTAN.
 The main shaft is down GJ feet and the tunnel is in 262 feet. Two winzes have been sunk: one Is down % feet and the other 36 feet. The latter will be driven down co feet, at which point 1t is expected to strike the main body of ore. The mineral in the present workings carries arsenic, autimony, galena, iron and stephauite. The owners, Messrs. Low. Meek and Anderson, are vide awake men, and having confidence in the permanency and richness If the mine, propose to push developments as fast as possible. The present outlook is certainly very encouraging and grows brighter as the work progresses.
 MINERAL CREEK.
 Manager D. c. Chilson, of the Mineral Creek Company, has been in town dur- ing the past few days, ordering supplies and sending out additions to the work ing force. He informs Us that tEe shaft has reached a depth of l42 feet, and shows a larger quantity and better qual- ity of OIc than has been seen ln the mine before. The delay iu starting the mill has been ou account of having no salt, bu5 hr. CLilson has forwarded a qU3u- titl, and expects to commence on bul- lion shipments next week.
 SILVER NUGGET.
 Favorable reports concerning this mine continue 1J come in. The east cruss-cut is now in l.I feet, and consid- eIng the hard umura6. ,ae rock through which it runs. they are making excellent head vas. The north drift continues in formation similar to tlat ol the Mack Morris Water las been struck, which is considered aL excellent indication.
 CALIFORNIA.
 Work has been suspended on this mine for the past few days, hut will be re- sumed tomorrow. The face of the tuE- nel shows indications of soon coming into a body ol good ore.
