DAY JOMPANh. -Noe"ithseohoiiiS 'iO
,eport that this company intend starting
an its furnace at Bristol in few days,
,,.e will state there is no definite time
sst for the starting OF the furnace, and it
,y;,J be some time before this is done.
II is the intention of the company, when
the furnace is started, to make a long,
ateady run, and not one of only three or |
fonr months. At the Day mine sinking |
for another level has been resumed and |
the shaft is now 35 feet below the bottom |
level, The ore chamber on the lower |
level has been cut into at depth OF 30 |
feet. and it has been ascertained that the |
ore continues down to at least depth OF
~ feet. and how much further work
alone will show. Work is to be resumed
ON tho Mendha mine at Highland. Dur
inc the week three men were placed to
work prospecting the ledge that was ac-
cidentally discovered about three months
400. This ledge is about 81 feet in
width, and from tests made shows an
average OF 40 per cent. lead and $50 in
silver. Ii this ledge continues down,
Stunt Grim will at once place force OF
mon at work on the Mendha.
MEADOW VALLEY. On the oath inst.
the time for the tributors to cease work
arrives, when the company will place
men to work in the mine. 1t is Supt.
Duffs intention to place men to work
cleaning out the first level below the tun-
mel, then uprising and stopping out, then
hosting through No. shaft, thus doing
away with the windlass altogether. The
map of the workings OF the mine shows
blocks of virgin ground at the point
where ore was lately uncovered, and
above which thousands of tons of ore were
extracted in early days. The reason for
the company neglecting to extract this
ore in days gone by, was not only on ac-
count of it being low grade, but also Cd
account OF its RIGHTEOUSNESS, as the ore
lately worked by mill process but 80 per
cent. of the assay value could be ex-
tracted. This ore is smelling. The
tributers have ceased work on their own
account, the reason given that the ore
has deteriorated to $50, and that they do
not wish to mix it with their 500 ore.
THE sluice-box method of concentrat
ing the tailings in this section appears to
labor pretty much under the same diff
Guilty that has been experienced by other
concentrating machinery working upon
the principle of specific gravity. While
it will concentrate the tailings to GER
tain extent, and save very large per-
centage of the lead, yet the sand and the
silver are so closely allied in weight that
the latter can hardly be persuaded to part
company with its gritty associate; not in
!, large enough ratio, under present quo
tat;ons, to make it a paying game.
IT has been excessively hot at Ell Do
