THE xOULTON.
The Cornih pumps will be in posi-
ton probably by Wednesday of this
week, and steam will lie got up at once.
In the mean time the heavy flow OF
water along the main vein on the 4O'l
ft,ot level, which some months ago ne
cessitated the stoppage Of work on that
level, has somewhat ceased, and cross
cutting was begun again last Friday and
Saturday. Friday evening two feet Of
good orc was cut in the vein on the 40O
foot level. This is supposed to he the
main or south vein, hut whether it is or
no can easily be tested finally, after the
pumps have uncovered the :5sH| foot level
and cross-cut has been run sufficient
distance south there.
-Four hundred and thirty-scven pounds
Of Moulton bullion were shipped during
the past week going about :cs' fine.
From ~ to - tons are milletl per day, of
which ten or twelve now come from the
Wabash.
Work in the mine has been prosecuted
during the past week a. usual on the TIVE
anil three hundred foot levels.
THE GRAYRtNK.
Operations in the Gray Rock mine
have been closed down for the present
by Mr.. Downs.
THE MORNING STAR.
Operations are progressing steadily
and much o. usual at the Morning Star.
The west drift on the 2lO-fOot level is
being pushed steadily, and 10 now in
about 1875 feet. The ore body Is said to
he looking better than for some time
past.
THE BELL. or BITE AND LA PLATA.
1t was learned yesterday from 'Cn-
cle'' Jack Downs that drifting is pro-
crossing steadily in both Of these mines,
and that for the present no more sink
ing will be done in either. There is a
large quantity of ore above the present
drifts, and as soon as they are far enough
in to enable the management to sink q
Wine for ventilation, stopping will he
begun in earnest. In the mean
while both mines are locking we'll.
ALICE AND MOULTON.
From Superintendent w. f. Hall it
il learned that there is absolutely moth
ing new to be said about the condition
Of the Alice mine. Work in the mine
and mills has gone Oh n usual during
the past week.
The recent developments in the Mag
no Charta have been already mentioned
i'm the MINER. The new shaft Is lHeing
pushed steadily down. The north vein
on the 4,n,-f;Nt levc! has now becn cut
into alr,ut four feet, the orr averaging
81; to the ton.
THE MODU'.
During the m,st week four car loads
Of copper silver ore have been shipped
from, the MO<lGc, each containing from
eight to- nine toms Of orr. The shaft Is
now down about l75 feet, lW feet Of
contract work having l'een done Oh 1t
last summer. 4 crtss-cut fifty feet to the
south tappe,i the vein. and levels have
BEEN run cast and west ut this point
along the vein, about fifty feet each
way, opening up body Of copper silver
orr about two anil . half feet wide,
running fifty per cent copper and about
twenty ounces in silver.
TnE WABASH.
The crss&<-cut has l'een run from BON
the east levels on the Wabash t" the
hanging wall, disclosing fully three feet
.,f y.rnl ore on the hanging wall anu
showing considerable silver glance.
There i. between six and seven feet "f
fine ore in 10th veins on the I'M foot
cr.s..-t,,t, AID the veins arc evidently
coming together lower down. The l"''
