Condensed News About u Good Many
Local Mines.
A great deal of ore is being shipped to
Eureka from mines that are not called big
claims and are not much spoken of except
among miners. There are a, least twenty
five Of these within a radius of five miles
with Eureka as a center. Strikes and ia.
vorable prospects are reported almost
daily. The consequence is that those
who are watching the mining outlook are
greatly encouraged, more hopeful of the
general prosperity of the camp than they
have been at any time since the decline in
the Richmond and Eureka Con. Besides the
mines near by that have been referred to,
valuable ore shipments are constantly
coming in from the Silverado mines, which
are about fourteen miles from Eureka.
Regular shipments are being made from
the Jackson, Phenix, Oriental Il Belmont,
Members, Williamsburg temporarily
stopped by the fire) Bullwhacker, Idaho,
Paul Pry, Silver Lick, Lone Pine, Macon
City, Matamoras, Banner, Excelsior,
Fourth of July, Dead Broke, Dugout,
Bald cage, Industry, Bowman, New York
and numerous other so-called small prop
critics, any of which are likely to develop
into first-class mines.
In the Eldorado No. 2 the shaft is down
within a few feet of the Eureka Tunnel
level in q body Of ore, samples Of which
were brought down yesterday for test.
The outlook in the Eureka Tunnel is
fiattering, and is reported to be improving
daily, as Developments are pushed. The
ore body struck in the drift from the
bottom of the shaft, 100 feet from the
bottom Of the Wine, holds out rich, and
is widening as the upraise progresses.
In the Albion, which still looks well,
two finds were made yesterday in new
ground, where they were not expected.
Supt. Robinson is greatly elated over the
discoveries, the situation and extent Of
which wa are not to give definitely, as WI
have not yet had an opportunity to see
them, or talk to him about them. An
average of % tons of pay ore is being
shipped from the Albion daily.
There are eight tributers working in
the Phenix, who have rich "pitches.'
There are six in the Jackson, who are also
making big wages. These tribnters are
working under lease, with a contract for
60 days notice to quit.
The Dugout is, as usual. yielding con-
siderable rich ore.
We understand that arrangements have
been completed by the Eastern company
that purchased the Reeves & Berry to put
up a twenty stamp mill at the mine with
out delay. The machinery has been or
dered.
The Geddes & Bertrand mill is working
smoothly, reducing about sixty tons per
day. The crushers are working to perfec-
ton, having been repaired. The silver So

ing until a large amount is on hand ready
to be converted into bullion as soon as
the retort-rooms are finished, which VIII
be shortly. The mine still shows unsli-
minished quantities of ore.
D. j.. j. Mclaughlin, proprietor of the
Irish ambassador, is taking ont ore from
that mine continuously. The ore is high
grade.
An important strike is reported to have
been made in the Richmond between the
third and fourth levels. The report is
contradicted by the Richmond people, and
we are not sure that it is correct, but
there is so much smoke in the story that
we believe if it were assayed it would
show some fire. We, and everybody else,
of course, hope that the smoke may all
roll away and give place to bright flames,
as it ought to do.
The Hoosac, recently purchased by the
Richmond Company, is taking out consid-
cradle ore that is good.
There is a Swede working down the
guloh below the Lemon mill, washing out
the taiiings there for what was lost in the
years unsuccessful run Of that mill, in
quicksilver chiefly. He is reported to be
making So a day.

near, owned stock that naturally encroaoh-
