Mining Notes.

proved in grade since last report. In the open cut, Toughnut, exceedingly rich ore is being found. 4 sample of tale, inter with green horn silver, is very rare specimen, from the fact that there are distinct and clearcut crystalizations of this form of silver, an event wfich is rare. Another sample of completely encrusted with horn silver, was also very beautiful. This find promises to be important Are raising up from the 300-foot level, Toughnut, to the POO to open body of ore known to exist between the two levels. Are draw ing more largely from West Side than heretofore. Notwithstanding the fact that the force at the mines has been ma terially shortened, the mills will be kept running steadily -Oid Guard Work on the mine is progressing favorably and considerable quantity of high-grade ore is being put upon the dump. This ore, in conscience, is about equally divided between q coarse gravel and fine sand After asserting the very minute propor- tion of barren rock from the mass 1t is put into heavy sacks which are sewed up to prevent wastage in handling The owners feel satisfied with the prospects of the mine. .-Contention Consolidated. - There have been no new developments during the week. The prospecting work described last week as in progress has been pushed ahead as rapidly as the na- ture of the ground would admit On the 600-foot level, north of the shaft, the ground still remains hard and slow pro- gress is being made. Winze connection from the 500 to the G00-foot level will soon be made. Tine usual shipment of ore is being made to the company's mil, and the bullion output will be enlivened by three weeks run of ten stamps of the Girard mill on second-class ore from the dump of the north shaft. -Tngerson
 The mine is looking and yielding as we'll as any former time. Some of the ore that comes out is said to be very Tich in native silver. A survey was made yes terday for new incline shaft, to be run at such an angle as will intersect the ore on its dip and thence to be run on the plane of the ere. When this shaft pene- trates the ore-body steam holster will be put up and the work os extraction and development of the mine be pushed much more rapidly than heretofore. -Nugget-
