The Affairs Of Its Mines and H.

MINERAL HILL, New. April 20, 1883.
EDITOR SENTINEL: When the mil
closed down here last January 1t was gen
orally understood among the miners tina,
| operations would be resumed some timt
during this month. The stormy weather
prevailing most Of the month has some
what retarded operations. During the re.
cent fine weather, however. . force Of men
has been employed upon the main water
| pipes, and there will be no lack Of water
during the Summer, which, had it not
been for the late storms, might have been
| the case. The force at the mines was
slightly augmented during the week, but
no ore has been hauled to the mill ~ yet,
and probably will not be for several weeks.
The outside mines are showing up con-
siderable ore Of various grades. A Chi
cago company has several men employed
on a prospect just south OF the Austin
mine, and are taking out some rich ore.
They received their ore sacks yesterday
and will shortly make . shipment Of one
or two car loads to be tested by q new pro-
cess in Chicago.
The old Bonanza il also showing some
very rich ore, but the seam 10 yet small.
In this property the owners are likely to
open into Q chamber Of ore at any time,
and when they do it will unquestionably
be very rich.
The Livingstone mine is also producing
high grade ore. Where the owners worked
two years since, on the extreme western
portion Of the claim, the ore was base,
while on the east end it is mostly free
milling. Possibly a shipment Of this ore
will be made to the mill soon after it
starts crushing.
The Poor Boy is situated on the western
slope Of the hill, and is on the main belt
Of smelling ore which runs along the foot
Of the mountain for . considerable dis
lance. Owing to the amount Of work done
this Spring it shows perhaps better than
any other property in this group. The
ore was easily extracted. and there 10 prob
ably 100 tons on the dump. This carries
too much lead to mill. The owners expect
= furnace to be erected in this vicinity this
Summer, and il their expectations are re-
allied, they will not only clean up quite q
sum from the sale Of ore, but. the party
who is enterprising enough to erect the
works will make q fortune by the purchase
Of the thousands Of tons Of base ores
throughout this section.
PERSONAL NOTES.
John O'Lesry met with q very painful
accident . few days since. He was land
ing . bucket when, instead Of taking it
by the bail, caught the rim. In attempt
ing TO draw IL towards him his hands
slipped and he was precipitated into an
open chamber, . distance Of about 20 feet.
A car track four feet below, which crossed
the cavern, partly broke the fall. 1t was a
very narrow escape. As it was, he was
considerably bruised and an arm badly
wrenched.
James White of Diamond Valley, while
unhitching Q fractions horse . few days
ago, was considerably used up by being
run over, tramped on and kicked by the
vicious brute. Several bad flesh wounds
and any number Of black and blue spots
prove that Jim never gives in to . wild
horse, or anything else that's wild. For
tunately no bones were broken.
Although there 10 no available money
in the road fund at present, yet T. b.
Bruffy. the Road Supervisor, has been
diligently at work repairing the county
roads for the last two weeks, and it il
said they are mostly in good condition;
that is, the worst places.
Two tramps came in from Eureka yes
terday. Somebody here told them there
were . hundred men wanted ct Palisade.
This was an Offset to two hard-looking
cases who came up from Palisade last
Sunday, saying they came in here be-
u they we're told there were . hundred
men wanted here. They left for the viii
lage by the Humboldt this morning.
Pass them West.
A gentleman just in from the WhAlen
Con-, when questioned - TO the possibil-
ity Of that company settling up their in
debtedness. expressed the opinion that
they would; but whsn, he was unable to
say. ToMAso.
