The Aurora Herald says that Aurora
has yielded since 1861 500, 900, 900, the
majority of which was extracted from
Silver Middle and Last Chance Hills,
and that rich ore is being taken out now
of which noteworthy shipments will sson
be made.
Ward Reflex: William Davis while at
work near the top of the Martin White
ore shute slipped and fell fifteen feet, and
caught on some timbers that had been
laid across the shute short time before,
thus saving himself from a frightful fall
of 400 feet.
Virginia Enterprise: The winze on the
200 level of the Mexican mine had last
evening attained depth of thirty feet
The ore which began to show itself on
the west side few days ago is gradually
working its way out into the Wine. It
is good milling ore and shows an unusual
proportion of silver. The top of an ore
body nearly always shows more silver
than the bottom or ends. The winze is
growing somewhat wet.
Austin Reveille: The ore worked dur
ing the present run of the Manhattan
mill has thus far yielded richer than at
any previous run, averaging over $500 to
the ton. 1t is in fact too rich for easy
working there not being enough of a
lower grade to help things out. The
amalgam has accumulated notwithstand-
ing the additional retorting facilities, un-
til there is now two tons of it on hand.
More retorts will have to be provided, or
this rich overdose of amalgam must be
allowed to continue accumulating for fu-
ture reference
Two miners were discharged day or
two since from the Mexican mine. who
had brought up $50 worth of ore in their
dinner buckets. The temptation to bring
rich ore out of the "played-out" Com
stock mines seems irresistible to some of
the miners. 1t requires great precautions
to conceal ore that assays up into the
and it is very exasperating to
the management to find that with every
care that can be taken some of it will
TEACH -lue SlTlaCe. lie arrival OF Sen-
ator Fair at this time is very opportunate,
and the market will probably remain
steady.
Eureka Leader DR.. Bishop, while re-
turning from the ranch of the late A. w.
Gedney, met with a severe accident.
While descending the second summit of
the Diamond Range the team he was
driving started to run away. Being un-
able to hold them the doctor jumped out
falling on his left side. For time he
lay insensible, stunned by the shock
which appeared to him as if it had broken
every bone in his body. At this moment
an Italian came along and brought the
doctor to Tits ranch, from which place
Mr.. Tiff brought him to town last night.
There are no bones broken, and in few
days we shall see the medical gentleman
among us. 1t was narrow escape how
ever.
