ALICE.

ALiSE.
The Wine that is being sunk from the 500
loot level is now down $50 feet. 1t is being
SUM at the rate Of 20 feet per week, and in
about two weeks will connect with the 700
foot west level. Superintendent Hall expect
ed that the connection would be made in the
6OO-foot level last night. The present inten-
ton is to sink the shaft another 800 feet as
soon as the Wine reaches the 7OO-foot level,
making the total depth 1000 feet. On the
lower levels the work is confined to the ives,
drifts. The east 300 foot level is being re-
timbered. All Of the levels are producing
their usual quota of ore, the mills eighty
stamps pounding away with their usual reg
ularity. On last months pay roll 331 men
were registered. The average force EMPLOYED,
however, is but 26O, on the surface and I'M
Ger ground. The Alice now stands eighth in
this country as regards production of bullion.
Its output for the five months ending June
LIST, was, in round numbers, $3.50 900.
MoULToN.
The three compartment shaft of the Moul-
ton had reached a depth of $50 feet yester-
day morning. The granite is not hard, and
they are sinking at the rate of from % to 3
feet per day. The CrosS-cut which is being
run south from the 2OO-foot level to tap the
vein is now in ia feet. Mr.. Clark informs
us that he expects to strike the vein this
week. The 300-foot cross-cut is in Is feet.
In both cross-cuts work is progressing at the
rate of about Be inches per day. In the shaft
the vein will probably be struck at a depth of
between 800 and 700 feet. Work on the new
mill is being pushed, the graders finishing TO-
morrow or Tuesday.
MAGMA CHARTA.
There is but little new at the Magua Char
ia. The Rowland Pulverizer is on the road
between Dillon and Butte, and is expected
here Tomorrow. 1t will be put up by Mr..
Julian Smith. The mine is furnishing about
ten tons daily for the Alice mills.
AMY-sILvERsMITH.
Work is going on day and night at the
Amy-Silversmith. Last Friday eight honr
shifts were put on, and three feet a day is
now made in sinking the shaft which has
reached a depth of 60 feet. The water is un-
der easy control. The hosting machinery is
expected every day, it having left Ogden two
or three weeks ago.
The compartment shaft Of the Lexington
is being sunk at the rate of about 20 inches
daily.
One thousand shares of AIta-Montana
were sold on the New York board during the
week ending une 3, at prices varying from
LOO to 2.l0.
l,4OO shares of Alice were sold in New
York last week at ST.
During the month of May but five mines
had bullion production larger than the Alice.
The officers of the Alta-Montana make the
following report:
"The adjustment of our insurance is COM
pleted and in addition to salvage from the
wreck we are to receive the sum of sixty-six
thousand, five hundred and ninety-eigEt
dollars.
DEMONSTRATION is already begun and will
be pushed as rapidly as possible. Orders for
new machinery are being filled, and some
have reached tue terminus of the Utah g.
Northern Railroad, en- route to our works,
and more is about ready for shipment. Our
concentrating works at Comet mine (four
miles from Wickes) are running and accumu-
lating a large supply of concentrates, ready
for the smelter. The Alta is producing
largely. 1t is proposed to make the outfit
more complete than ever"
