OF the uba mine has had tendency to
make the Slopes on the whole look far
better than when the shipments first be.
gan. In stopping the quantity required
for two furnaces the ores have been taken
just as they come high and low.
Notwithstanding this fact the average
assay proved satisfactory.
THE NJ lNpAH.
The lower workings of the Mendah
mine continue to look well and the vein
/ at last accounts was about Il feet from

/ Work has heea started on the Ham,

its heavy lead ores to facilitate in the

channel or chimney Of ore has been found
leading eastward from the main tunnel
into the mountain. This chimney ASSAYS
high both in lead and silver, and is sup.

than ore country ever before known in

There has been no material changes

Where the ledge ia being followed south
into new grounds about 20 feet above the
main south drifts on the tunnel level, the
ore is assuming a richer grade the silver
assays purporting to have raised from Is
ounces to the neighhorhood of 40 to 30
ounces. Some development work has
just been started in the upper workings
OF the Day mine where very rich ore was
extracted when the mine was first dis.
covered The object undoubtedly is to
prospect this section in the hope of open

llIGuLANp.
New evidences are coming daily to the
effect that the mining men of the ives,
are once more turning their attentions
toward Phoebe For six weeks past MIR,
c. O. Perry of San Francisco, Cal. has
had number of men at work on some
: very promising claims he purchased
last year in Highland district. While nj
great time has been made, the fact re
mains that Mr.. Perry is showing al
earnest belief in that part of the country
quietly spending considerable none,
there, and is now it is believed in a fai,
way to make some very important de
velopments. Mr.. John Mccarthy of NJ,
d, Carly and Harrington, who have the con
tract for sinking the shaft on the mali
, lode, was in town and reported the worl
, down about forty.tive feet.

and others who were guided there by a
Indian. The district was immodiatel
organized, and there have since been
the neighborhool OF one thousand loc
tons made. The veins are found
quartzite and run northeast and soutl

both free milling and base, and son
