MINING MATTERS.
The Developments During the
Past Week.
The Progress of Our Mines.

The mines of the Summit VALLEY
district are looking better than eve
before, and their development il
steadily progressing. Considerable
work has been done in the various
mines during the past week.
THE COLUsA.
On that portion of the Colusa west
of discovery, owned by w. A. Clark,
and known as the Old Colusa, a per.
pendiculsr shaft is being sunk in the
center Of his ground which is already
at a depth of 100 feet below the sur
face. From this point a cross-cut
will be started to reach the vein.
The sinking of the shalt will then be
continued. From the old discovery
shaft a drift is being run west at q
depth of 60 feet and is now in a body
of copper ore 6 feet in width.
CLARK'S FRACTION.
A drift is being driven through
this property from the Alice to the
Magma Charta from the 800 foot lev
ell. The total distance through will
BE- 32l feet aud at present the drift is
in $50 feet. A cross-cut is also being
run south from this drift to penetrate
the vein. The upper workings are
turning cut the usual amount of high
grade ore
THE MOULTON.
The 200 foot level slopes are look
ing well on the centre vein. The 400
foot level in the south vein is now
being driven in a body of high grade
ore to the westward which was de-
veloped by a winze sunk from the
800 foot level to connect with the
400 foot. This Wine was sunk
through good ore the entire distance.
THE ORIGINAL.
There is a hoist on the east shaft of
this mine from which is being taken
out even or eight tons of 40 OF. ore
per day, carrying about IL per cent. of
copper. In the old workings, at the
west end, a cross-cut is being run
south on the 400 foot level, and in a
raise from the 800 foot level has be Il
encountered what promises to be
a chute of high grade ore.
THE TRAv,3NIA.
Here the work is progressing in
three different shafts. This mine is !
simply being prospected with a view
of determining the most favorable To-
cality for the works. In doing this
quantities ofge0d ore are being taken
cut in three different places.
THE NEPTUNE.
A drift is being run west from the
new west shaft and is now in about |
SO feet exposing a very good body of !
ore. Work is still going on in the
old shaft, sinking to the water level
which will soon be reached.
THE VILE BILL.
The ledge is being cross-cut at a
depth of 70 feet. Sinking will be
commenced again in a few days az
as the hosting machinery is put
up. At present the vein only is be-
ing worked. and the ore taken out is
of a good grade. Levels are being
run on the vein east and west. There
is a body of very rich ore in the bol-
tom ofthe level, but it does not rise
to the top. The vein is very large,
being about 80 feet ia width. There
Is about 6 feet of ore in the south
prospect.
H BELL NINE.
Cross-cutting south is being done
IN the 4OO-foot level, and a level is be-
ing run west from the main north
,ross-cut. A Wine is being sunk
rom the 30O-foot level, and is now at
! depth of 40 feet, with a body of
FOOD ore at the bottom. They are
Uprising on the west 40O-foot level.
THE SHONBAR.
About a week ago one OF the boilers
a leak, which necessitated
he hosting to stop until the new {
'oiler was set. The new machinery,
and station pumps are now in {
INNING order and have started. On I
he 300 foot level a large body of the {
ich ores found above has been !
truck. The same level is in about I
0 feet easterly. The mine is looking I
now than ever before. There I
} a body Of ore On the west, from the q
haft to the west line of the claim, l
20 feet, that has not been mined out. 0
