ULTO

Yesterday the maiu shaft of the Moultc
mine was down 4O4 feet. Station cutting y
the 40O-foot level has commenced, which
cause a suspension OF the sinking of the ma
shaft for perhaps one week. The cross CT
to the south at the 800 foot level is driven 4
106 feet, with indications in the face of striFt
ing ledge matter. At the 2OO-foot level ia
crOss-cut has tapped the vein and run aero
it. The width of The Mouiton vein at III
depth is nine feet. The o1e is god grade#
the assays being highly satisfactory. At "A
3OO-tOot level it is expected the l. dge will +
struck inside of two weeks. Yesterday til
Bowers air compressor was started up 4
drive the lngersoli drills employed in Il
miNe. The compressor has d power to drl1
six or seven OF the lngelsoll drills. TheI.
drills are to be used in sinking the shaft al
III all the workings below. Rapid work W
now be performed as drilling will be accoi
pllshed with dispatch. Everything %conneaI
ed with the mlne is running smoothly. all
the machinery is, apparently, as near perte
as the skill and ingenuity of man can ma
it. Work on the new mill progresses favol
bly,. The compal y has about 200 mel in Fl
employ. h
II ALICE. %
The Alice mine presents much the SAT-
appearance now that it has for some tug
past, and is yielding its customary supply 4
ore daily-all the levels are producing. I'll
upper levels are not developing anythia
new, but have immense bodies of ore
sight. The ore coming from the 70O-fGi
level is of excellent grade, showing an ass
value of $3.50 per ton for the first qualit1
Both mills are pounding away, and tn" dais
product of bullion insures the monthly di
dend Of $4,000, with a margin left to be he
in reserve tor working contingencies. II
daily assay report from the battery sampa
show that the mills are saving ninety nj,
cent Of the assay value of the ore crushed.S
LEXINGTON.
The sale of the Lexington mine, conditid

by the agent of the purchasers, with SIN
days time to make the sale perfect. III
main shat. of tie Lexington is down III
feet, but a slight deraugemement of ti
pump, yesterday, caused a few hours stS.
page in sinking. AT the old shaft wolk cdf.
linues in the east level, on a large bodys5
ore, from which fifteen to twenty tons IA
taken daily. For months ore has been taxi
from this potion of the mine, and it Isl
uniform grade. a
MAGMA CHARTA.
The main shaft of the Magma Cha#i
has reached a depth Of 800 feet. We
has commenced at 800 feet deep to cut N
the station, and when that is finished
sinking of The shaft will be resumed. III
Slopes ct the ZO0-foot level are looking VI

VLADIMIR. III
The Vladimir mine, TO the east Of
Ma ina Charta, owned by the Alice Compa
is opening in fine shape. A good vein
free milling ore is opened, from which it is
tended to supply the Rowland Pulveriz
Ore is being extracted and held In reserve

assay value Of from $50 to $50 per ton. Il

AMY-SlLNERSMlTH. NJ
Work on the Amy-Sllversmith has BE-
temporarily suspended, awaiting the arri
of steam hosting machinery. This machln
has arrived and is low on the ground. II
meeting of the directors of this company NJ
held last night, n it is presumed that We
will be commenced Immediately.
ACQUISITION. Il
The main shaft of the Acquisition min
dropped ia feet deep, and will be contin
to a depth of 200 feet before a cross-cut IN
be started. About l,5O0 gallons of wate&
pumped hourly from the shaft. In sink
the shaft passed through an e,ght-foot veil
