Mining Notes.

The Silver Star mine, an extension of the Peacock, owned by Judge J. R. Por- ter, c. Holmes and J. B. Henry, located on Ramboz Gulch, and in the Democrat, Peacock and Centenial group, is showing at the depth of fifteen feet astonishingly rich; the vein Is strong and widens as sunk upon. At the depth named the lode fills the entire width of the shaft, and how much wider it is impossible to tell until the extreme width of the vein is exposed The average of the ore, as assayed by E. O.. Kennedy, is $55S The ledge extends the whole length of the claim, 1,500 feet. Judge Porter thinks they have a bonanza, and we believe they have -The Hoosier copper mine Is being viz orously worked The ore body Is in creasing in size and quality The work is entirely in ore. MT.

 fails to generate sufficient heat; this, how ever, will soon be remedied by the receipt of English coke, which is known to be free from extraneous matter, and which it is intended to mix with the Trinidad coke now at hand at the smelter. We are looking with considerable interest to the successful working of copper ore in this district which, from present indica- tions, seems to be most abundant. The silver ledges which also abound here, are giving fiatteriRg results, and at no time in the history of the camp have they shown better than now. The Buffalo mining company are only awaiting the arrival oi a water jacket from San Francisco fel their shelter, which is expected to arrive in Globe within very few days, to en' able the company to commence opera tions at the furnaces. Their mine is yielding large quantities of good ore.- Silrer Belt.
