100 tons OF ore on the dump and in the bins,

4 Prosperous Year Ahead.
IDAHO CITY-This will undoubtedly be
the most prosperous wear for mining that
we have ever had. As far as heard from,
all Of the mines worked during the year
Welded profits, and many prospects have
been developed into mines. AT Rocky Bar,
Elm0re county. the Atlanta Company
Is opening a large amount of stopping
ground in the Elmore and will start
up the mills soon. One is a ten and the
other a 5O-stamp. The mine paid well and
the new ground opened below yields still
richer ore. Several other mines at Rocky
Bar are working, the ore from which will
be crushed soon. The sale of the Buffalo
and Monarch mines, at Atlanta, Is miles
north Of Rocky Bar, has given a new
impetus to that camp. These mines are on
the Atlanta vein, which is from 60 TO so
feet wide and crops out for five or six miles.
They carry gold and silver, but are worked
principally for the white metal, and the
companies operating them did well until
depth was reached and much water en-
countered. They must now be handled by
companies able to erect powerful pumps
and hoisting works.
Sold to a London Syndicate.
Judge Y. S. Anderson has sold them to a
London company for S., 100000. The belt
in which the Atlanta is situated is very rich
and extensive, and many Of the mines have
paid well in the past, although worked by
men who were entirely without means with
which TO open them up.
NJ. u. hempner has brought to town sew
eTal large specimens of silver ore from the
Moscow, in the EldOrado district, between
rhis place and Banner The vein has Just
been tapped by a tunnel, where a body of
four feet of very rich silver ore is shown.
Some rock from the surface of this
mine. worked in the Elmira mill,
al Banner, two years ago, yielded large re-
rIrns. Work is progressing on two or
three other mines there that show we'll
The tunnel running to the the Chickamon
is in 1872 feet. A heavy flow of water is
now coming out Of the tunnel, showing that
the vein is nearly reached. Should ii be as
good where tapped as on the surface, a large
mill will be erected this year. The Sun
light. a mile east of the road between here
and Boise City, is turning out to be bonan-
"a. it has been followed in by tunnel 100
feet, all the way in good ore. In the face
Of the tunnel there is large body of ore,
rich in chlorides of silver The owners,
Dunnigan & Surheet, talk of erecting mill
soon.
Mines That Pay Well.
SAN FRANCISCO-The discovery of a seam
Of coal of extra good quality near Anderson,
Shasta county, is attracting considerable
attention. San Francisco capitalists are
preparing for thorough and systematic
exploration Of the n orthern part of the
State and believe that it will be profitable
if the mines can be developed there. The
Bunker Hill Mine, Amador, has a 12-foot
vein of ore that runs from sos to $50 per
ton. The Plymouth Mine is developing a
good ore body, and 60 stamps in the old mill
viii be started soon.
The keystone Mine, Amador, has paid
dividends to date amounting to 1878, 500. |
All the hoisting machinery of the IIlex |
Mine, Amador has been purchased for the |
Saufh Fureka Instructions have haan cont
from New York by DR.. Pierce, President of |
the Big Bend River Company, to resume |
work on the mine near Groville. A GOLD |
brick, weighing 263 ounces is the result of |
a partial cleanup of the months run of the |
North Banner Mine, Nevada county. |
rich strike of gold-bearing gravel has been
made in the Occidental Drift claim, Sierra.
6an Francisco capitalists are negotiating for |
some of the lead mines at Hamilton, White |
Pine district, and the prospects are that |
active operations viii begin this.year.
Shut Out by High Water.
SILVER CITY-No Mexican ore is now
being received by the smelters in New
Mexico through Ell Paso, and ore is not |
being handled by tF1 FL Paso smelters,
except that which is received over the
Southern Pacific Railway. The very high |
water in the Rio Grande has shut out the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
from all communication with El Paso and
about so miles of track between Rincon and
El Paso have been abandoned for several
DAYS. The water is higher than it was in
1884, when through traffic was suspended
for about three weeks, and it is
hardly probable that the smelters
will get much Mexican ore for two or three
weeks TO come. The yards at FL Paso are
flooded, and although the river is falling in |
