The Aspatria tunnel, on Avery Noun
tain, is being worked by c. w. Ham
mond and Wilbur Wright. This enter
prise is intended to penetrate the vast
and rich ore deposits Of Avery Noun
tain. shown to exist by the rich ore al
ready found in the Jenny Lind, Ophir
and Virginia mines.
The two richest properties adjacent to
Gothic-the Moss Rose and the Sylvan
ite mines-have laid aside the spirit Of
rivalry and will be worked under Il
and the same management this season,
so we are told Oh good authority. East
ern capital has taken them in hand,
and under the new management it is to
be hoped that these two famous mines
will receive the treatment they deserve.
Willis McGlothlin and father, George
Picket and z. Mackey, arrived from
Bags, Wyoming, a few days ago. Ow-
ing to the state of the upper canon, they
are unable to get to Elko, where their
fine mining property lies. They expect
to do a great deal Of work this season
in developing the Dora and other of
their claims. All their claims shoW in
exhaustible bodies of galena ore which
runs we'll in silver, and being free to a
remarkable extent Of refractory matter,
is easy to handle. They report that a
great deal of attention is being directed
to this district, and that many prospec-
tors and others have their steps directed
this way.-Silver Lance.

The Shafts mine, in which Senator
Henry Balsinger and Co. are interest
ed, are shipping great quantities Of ore
from the old shaft. Capt. Charley e.
Stevens is the efficient superintendent.
They are sinking a new shaft on this
vein. ninety feet to the west, that is,
700 feet west Of the Hubert. The new
shaft is to be a three compartment one,
two by four feet, and a three-foot COM
partment
All of the pumps on the main shaft
on the Gunnell mine gave out on We'd
nesday night of last week, necessitat-
ing a delay for repairing the same. The
management is taking out a large
amount Of milling ore in the seventh,
eighth and tenth levels, which is being
run by the Concrete mill at Black
Hawk, Colorado. The water has been
bothering them for the past week, but
they keep right OF producing just the
same.
The product Of the Carr mine in Lake
ulSLrlct, IOr tue PAST IuOul1l was DIS lOl-
lows: Seventeen tons of smelling ore
gave a net return Of $112.O per ton, or
a total of 1915 go; eleven cords of mill
ore a net return Of $791.4O, or a grand
total net return of 50, 7O7.3O. This is
the product Of the labor of a force of
nine men, including quite an amount
of dead work. The operators are for
tunate in not having a drop of water
to contend with in these days ofloods.
The lessees of the Monitor mine COM
menced hosting ore last Monday, re-
Stunning work in the engine shaft. They
now have their steam boiler repaired
and the water out. When compelled to
| close down through defective machin-
ery the ore from the mine was paying
handsomely, the stamp-mill ore averag-
ing over five ounce gold per cord and
the concentrates giving a net return of
$16 per ton.
The Golden II easurc mine, a little to
| the northwest, is also shipping heavily
