taken up. The mine is filling with water.
The engine and boilers are being
placed in the Brockman mill at Lone
Mountain, and it is expected that it will
be ready for operation about the middle
of this month. The mill will have a
daily capacity Of about so tons.
The Pacific mill started up again yes
terday. It has been idle for several
months because water could not be OBJ
tanned to run it. 1t is not likely that the
mill will have to be closed down again
this season on account Of an insufficient
water supply.
A shaft is being sunk on the Ajax
mine at Bald Mountain. It is down 90
feet and a cross cut will be run from the
shaft at a depth Of 100 feet to the ore
body. There is a good body of shipping
ore in the mine. The mine belongs to
Gyulo Armeney of New York.

BILE work has been done on the mill, but

some time during the month.

The new smelter at Hillsborough has
been running two weeks and produces
from 2 to 81 tom of copper matte a

mace can be completed the company will
refine its own matte.
Shipments Of ore from this place this
year have beer insignificant as compared
with the first seven months of 1891.
frequently the shipments of ore from
Silver City exceeded 100 tons in a single
day, but the shipments this year have
been lighter than for any corresponding
period since the railroad was built to
Silver City.
A strike has been made on the Viola
mine at Pyramid which promises TO be
the most important one made in the
southwestern part Of the County. At a
depth Of 200 feet a body Of ore 4 feet in
width running high n silver was en-
countered, and a drift has been run for
about 20 feet On this ore. Specimens OF
the ore taken out show native silver and
snlphides, and if it continues for any
considerable distance the Viola mine will
soon become one of the leading produc-
ers Of the County. The mine is owned
by the Pyramid Silver Mining and Mill
ing Company.
