much more to the diligent prospectors |
and miners in that country than at any
previous time.
The Vienna mill continues to do good |
work, and that Co. ut present gives en-
ployment to ninety men in and about
the mines.
The Mountain King employs twenty
and the Vienna seventy i've hands
Both mines are worked to supply the
Vienna Cos. mill, and make an ubund
ant yield.
The Solace is at present laboring un-
der the disadvantage of too much water
for rude means of drainage, and will
employ but the present crew OF five min
ers until such n time us a pump can be
| constructed or frosts bloceade the sur

and the most surprising fea-
tire we noticed WIS tunnel completed
to the length of 400 feet, with an east
and west DRIFT comprising 500 feet addi
tional. OF this length $50 feet continu-

| tact. By survey il has been shown that
Il string stretched ou the surface from
one IN ! of the ore body to the other
| would cover the ore at every
point. From n raise on the we t
drift to height Of $50 feet a stol e
has been run at one point distance of
100 feet, showing everywhere q large
and well defined continuous ore BODY.

ranging from "a ozs.. the poorest ore
extracted, to 16,000 ozs.. the best ore

Sixteen miners will be employed upon
the Solace during the winter. and. il
practicable. the owners will commence
possible in the spring. There are al
present $50 tons Of ore in the ore bins
that is worth 5000 per ton.
OTHER MINES.
The Emma mine employs twelve mi
ners, and has been doing excellent work
since resuming operations thirty days
since, soon after when the ore body wa:
tapped and commenced to yield. Thi.
ore is similar to that of the Solace, Otter
produced in ton lots that assay 500 ozs
The wagon grade to the Vienna and So
lace mines has been completed on to TIL,
Emma, so that now supplies can h,
shipped in and ore out without an,
trouble. Ore house, shops. boarding
house, etc. are being built at the Emma
preparatory to steady work through tn
winter.
The Maryland, a prospect located OF
the oath of July by B. Wood. j. D. Finl
and Nick Miller, on Big Smoky. about
mile south of Vienna, is thought to b
parallel with the Emma, and promise
much. The ore body is gigantic, bu
low grade, assaying about 40 ozs. pc
ton. 1t is free milling and may prove
honanza. 40-foot tunnel is already il
on tire ledge and foot shift.
The Vulcan, now owned by v. S. An
: derson Mr.. Evans, OF the firm of Gil
lette 4 Evans, and Al. Hoskins. is stu
ated half a mile south of the Marylan
and developed to the same extent. Til
ore is n grade higher in value, assayin
about Is o7s. per ton. The ultimate dc
B velopment of these claims may warran
:; the construction OF milling works i
that vicinity.
The Tariff. No. l and No. 1, discovere
: and owned by Harry McCallum and 9th
;, ers, is among the best looking prospect
in the Vienna region. and the questio
:" OF extensive work upon it is at presen
we understand. receiving fair consider
alton.
