Brief Notes Of what fl Going On I'm
the Mines of Our District.
The Western Globe mine, Silverado, 10
looking we'll.
Henry Richard & Co. are about to lease
the Rescue mine at Silverado.
There are ten tons of ore at the Ell
Dorado mine on Prospect Mountain await
ing shipment.
Messrs. Ball and Poplin are taking out
large quantities OF flux ore and shipping it
TO the Richmond furnaces.
There are 100 tons OF ore on the dump
at the Silver Conner mine awaiting
shipment to the furnaces.
Fine weather having come with the last
change OF the moon, prospectors are again
getting ready for their seasons work.
William Harrington is still driving
ahead in the new tunnel at the Uncle Sam
mine on Peelstick Hill. The breast is
now in good ore-bearing ground.
The lessees OF the Red Rose mine, Al
hambrs Hill, Pinto District, are taking
| out some fine ore. Tit mine Is well
located and is likely to prove valuable.
Martin Phantom will put on q small ad-
ditional force of men in the Dead-Broke
| mine as soon as a trail can be sufficiently
broken for the conveyance of necessary
supplies to the mine.
Andrew Bergman and his nephew, Rich
ard Bergman, are taking some very rich
ore out Of the Silver nugget mine Mary
land Mountain, Pinto District. They have
q good pitch and are making money.
The main shaft Of the Queen mine at
Siiyerado has been sunk an additional 80
feet, and a new drift has been started from
the bottom of it. The tributers in she
Queen are getting some very rich ore.
Work on the Lemon mine. which was re-
sumed last December, has been carried on
continuously since then. The Ivy boys
and Harry Richard have a lease OF it, and
are shipping ore to the Richmond furnaces.
A party Of miners are taking ore out Of
the Farrow mine, which is situated on
| South Alhambra Hill. The property il
beginning to show up splendidly. and will
| probably become one Of the most promi-
| nent mines in Pinto District.
There are now $50 tons Of ore at the
| Fair Play mine in transit to the Eureka
furnaces. The property has yielded
| splendidly during the past year. 1t has
been worked under q lease, which II is
hardly probably will be renewed.
Some Of the tributers at the Hamburg
| mine have been forced to suspend opera
| tions for the present, on account OF the
| difficulty in getting grub and supplies to
| the mine, but fine weather having set In,
this difficulty will o be obviated.
The tributers at the Bald Eagle mine
are again doing we'll. They are getting
some very good ore, but are unable to
ship at present on account Of the snow
| blockade, which has been more severe this
| Winter and Spring than during any pre-
/ vious season.
At the Alexandria mine water Is coming
into the main shaft . great deal faster thar
usual, owing no doubt to the melting snow
and consequent seepage. The shaft Ii
| Ok 9k in the clear, and the water rises
| daily from 10 to 90 feet from the bottom
which has to be lifted TO the surface
There are three drifts o being driven
from the main shaft, and other prospect
ing work is being done with q very fail
outlook for striking new ore deposits.
