| Was impossible to see and examine all tbe promisingpr within its limits, and therefore we are compelled to omit mention of great number Of them m this brief article. We shall endeavor, however, to obtain accurate information of those omitted a5 sOon as possible and report them accordingly. But to resume. About four miles northeast Oi the Alice and about two miles southeast of Will low Springs and about one-half mile north of the old Carona furnace, lies the
 CBoLIA ZINE.
 This property was first located in 1875, ! but subsequently abandoned. On the | lst Of January, 1877, 1t was relocated as ! the Monitor mine, and the assessment work for the years 1877, '1o and l9 was J done. On the 1st of January, lSet, the Inine was again relocated for the pur- | pose oi correcting the description of the l lode, and the assessment for that IF ] opened up rich ore The first part of the i present year a shaft was sunk on the lode | t0 a depth of fifty feet. In this shaft, | twenty feet from the surface, massive horn silver was discovered and assays l from the same went as high as Sl5,OOD to ! the ton. The lowest assay from the rock | containing this horn silver was Sl ,2Uo. ' Alter sinking through the ledge and reaching the fOOt-wali an incline was started therefrom, out owing Co the bro ! ken character of the ledge at that point and the scarcity of timber suitable for umbering purposes, this incline was abandoned. The incline shaft was then sttrted on the hanging wall, the syenite Of. this wall being sufficiently firm 10 Ob- vi3te the necessity of timbering. In thls new development large planches of what appeared Co be pure galena were taken out, and the first assay Of the same gave a return Of g l,S96in silver to the ton and subsequent assays went as high as Sl2,- jOo per ton. The ledge Of the ChOlla at the point where the shaft goes down, Is thirty-tTO feet by actual measurement and the course Of the same IS nearly north and south and the dip to the west. At different points on the ledge large bodies of galena have been discovered. ! The property has been visited by com petcu, judges of what constitutes a good mine and las been pronounced by them one o' the best prospects for large and valuable mine yet opened in the district. MessIs. Oury and Hardesty, the owners of the mine, are not, we understand, anxious to dispose of 1t in its present condition, but propose to make further developments in the near future, cOnh- dently believing that they will show up one of the largest and most valuable mines in the district They certainly have good grounds for their expecta- tons.
 THE APACHE CHIEF.
 This mine lies just southwest of the Alice and runs parallel with the latter. The assessment work has just been com -pletet and consists of a ten-foOt shaft, exposing g vein of lead carbonate ore assaying I1 ounces in silver and 60 per cent. lead. The veiu was one foot wide on the surface and has wilCued out to two feet at the bottom or the shaft. The ledge $ ten and a half feet between the walls
 THE FULLY
 Is the first south extension of the Apa- che Chief. This c.olm shows carbonate for at east IUD feet on the surface and varying ln width from one to four feet There is @ .eu-foot shafs UE the ledge and shows carbonate ore all the way across, assayiug iula ounces in silver and I4 per ceHt. lead
 SILVER POINT.
 This claim has a ledge I0il feet be- tween the walls where the shaft starts in. The shaft is down 5J feet, penetra- ting a fine body of grey carbonate smeitrc ere, running from SIS to S9S m silver to the ton and 42 per cent. Of lead. This property is owned by Messrs. Moran, Henry and five other parties iiv- ing in Los Angeles. and whose names We could Lot obtaln.
 THE GRAND PRIZE
 Is another good claim on the Time Keeper ledge. with a vein 10 or l2 feet ID width. IL has a 61-foot shaft, with large amount Of good smelting ore on the dump, ali of which runs well. Messrs. Montgomery and ShaiIal are the owners.
 THE BALTIC.
 Lies just east of the Pacific. the ledge running parallel with that of the latter it is seven feet between the walls, and a cut ir thc vein shows strong vein of galela ore aSsayiuc from S3O to S2e1 in silver to the ton. N-. A. II. Dr, Gen, of Silver King, Is the owner.
 THE DEXTER,
 Which is also the property Of Nr. Dry den, IS the second south extension on tbo Baltic ledge. It produces the same character of ore as the Baltic and IS equally as promising. 4 l7-foot shaft Is tho extent 0- present developments, but work will be pushed on 1t.
 THE sptE MINE, Situated nearly oue-lalf mile east of the Alice. has a ledge about II feet wide. \ shaft has been sunk 20 feet and the owners propose to sink lOO feet before c-lsscUtt ing the ledge The shaft is in pay ore now, and will undoubtedly m- cover srL richer miuerel as depth is at- taiued. This valuable claim is owned hy Nessrs. C. D. Henry and C. O. Mills.
 TIRE BUTCHER BOY.
 The Butcber Boy i7 the south exten- sion of the Spar mine. The main shaft is down 32 feet. passing through pay ore all the way. The ore is carbonate. This mine is the property Of Henry Schus- lUle1. C. C. Mills and C. D. Henry.
 THE SILVER B-LT.
 This is g bat is called double pay streak ledge, nine and a half feet be tween the walls. The streak of pay mineral un tue hanging wall is 22 inches wide, and assavs from SIS Co SlUJ2 to Go the ton; It also carrles Y per cent. of lead. The ply streak on the foot wall is three and oug-half feet wide, assaving S3J in silver and Sll in gold Go the ton. The shaft is down torty-hye feet On the north end oi tiis claim there is an old tunnel and dump, the former now llleIup. It is,yidCntiya a very old mine. l. Geo. \. Finch, (. D. Henry and John Ha--ol are the owners
 TIE err.vrr. rr-p The nam shalt ou this claim is down sixty feet. and passes through pay miu- eTal aii the way down. Where the ledge l was first cut about ten tons of lead ore l were taken out, but at a short depth the | character oi tAe ore changed and now carries no le9d at all. At a depth of 90 . feet crcsscL5 Uas made.showing ledge |. eighteen fee. between the walls. with | pay ore scattered all through it. At the ]. bottom of the shat. the ore Is coming in | soiid, and asslys as high as Sl2J in sil- ! yer iu the ton. Where the cut Was made ] across the ioot-wail the ore is gray car l bonatc. We od not learn the names Of l the owners.
 NI.vEE-GIyE-UP.
 This claim has a gold and silver bear ! ing ledge seven feet between the walls ] Assays from the ore give a return of S61 1 in gold and from S27 Co S32 in silver to l the ton. The shaft has been sunk ten 1 feet only. Messrs. Schoshusen and . Henry are the owners.
 THE HARD CiSH,
 Located on the same ledge and owned | by the same parties, assays Sj7.63 in gold ;o the tou, and has a ten-foot shaft.
 TEE BuUGlr AND READY,
 Which is the third extension on the same ledge, assays StI16 in gold and
