MINING NOTES.
CHLORIDE.


ErRroR MoHAvr CoUxTY MMER:
Our miners are very busy this fne
weather, which permits Of any kind Of
surface work. w. II. Kelly and Dan Nc
Kinnon have ceased operations in the
Connor mine, having worked out the
shoot Of ore and are busy asserting
up what ore they have on the dump, all
Of which will be in sacks and ready for
the teams within the next ten days. No
four figures will give their profits on this
lease---it takes the fifth one to give the
amount. II Is true they done lots Of dead
work-sinking lbs feet and running two
driits---to get to this ore, but they eyi-
IDENTIFY knew what they were doing, and
"got there just the same"
Connection has been made from the
i30-foot level Of the Minnesota with the
combination shaft, which gives good
ventilation to the mine, something II has
never had heretofore. There was no
demonstration on breaking through"
O'Brien 4 Chadwick have joined
forces and are extracting considerable
galena ore from the Schuylkill mine,
while Cross & Go. are doing likewise on
the Elkhart, which is the first extension
north Of the former mine.
The new vertical shaft at the Tintic
gold mine Is being rushed, and night
shift will be put on the coming week. A
large quantity Of water is the only cause
liable to stop them before reaching the
ledge With the vertical shaft.
Alartincourt Il Conas, who have leased
the old workings Of the above mine, have
fine body OF ore in sight, and will soon
make shipment.
Jones & Eastman are working the old
Empire with good results. They are get
ting some high grade ore.
Garcia & Martinez have about fifteen
tons OF ore from the Goldback mine
sacked, which will be packed TO the Ger
bat mine the ensuing week. This ore
runs from 2ls to ounces gold, and 25 TO
45 ounces silver per ton. The ledge Is
from to "a inches wide.
Barney Mccall il satisfied this is not
dry country, he having encountered
plenty OF water at depth of twenty-five
feet Barney does not intend to be
rated ~ IN by,lrophobia miner, and pro-
poses 20 keep right on sinking il he has
10 eDcase himself In a suit of submarine
armor. Barney owns this property-the
Sunset---aud proposes TO know what it is
good for.
f.. j. Ediniston is driving tunnel on
the Bridal Chamber ledge, and has en-
countered some good ore, some Of which
carries q high per cent Of copper.
4. NJ. MacDuiTee will next week COM
mence work on the Copper Trust claim,
promising prospect. Mac is thorough
assayer and il any good ore shows up he
will "spot It,"
On dit: That the Sunlight will be
leased to party Of Mexicans; also, that
the dry concentration will make run on
Sunlight ore, of which there are great
many tons on the dump.
II. r. Ewing and Joe Prisk are doing
remarkably well on the Tuckyho. They
have large quantities Of fine teaching ore,
and are getting good amount OF high
grade shipping ore.
James Cadden will soon make ship
ment Of high grade ore from the st. PEI
tersburg, an extension OF the Diana.
At the Keystone mine, Mineral Park, a
strike OF rich ore was made while drifting
on the 13O-foot level, but whether there
was more than an assay it was impossi-
BILE TO learn. There are twelve men en-
ployed in the mine, and just when the
mill will start is not known, but within a
few weeks at any rate. IREx.
