AMONG THE MINES.
rsSet Picked Up Around the Crystal District and
Echoes Prom the nany Mines.

|
Two mishaps have occurred in tho Inez
this week, which will delay progress Of
work at two points. for few days. We'd
nesday the air drill used by Wright Il
Holgate in driving an upraise, under con-
tract, became disabled and repairs have
been ordered. The same evening a few
tons OF rock caved in the drift being run
by contractor Rossitti. Elsewhere in the
mine work is progressing fayorably, and
oy the first Of next week everything will
be going well with the contractors named.
The Crystal Mountain Mine is drilling
through very solid formation, extend
ing the big tunnel toward the contact for
which they have been driving. The hard
formation now encountered is in strange
contrast with tho wall OF mineralized
stuff through which they have recently
passed.
There is no new development at the
Finley, except a slight change in the
appearance OF the vein, which shows in
dications Of improving values. A drift
is being run from the shaft at a dopth OF
thirtyseven feet, TO point where it
seems probable an ore body may be cut
AT the r. II. X. an. upraiss has been
driven to the surface, through which it
is now being worked by the lessces,
Messrs Buckles g. Dempao. Some ore
has been taken out, though most Of the
work SO far has been development.
Forty or fifty feet more of drifting will
open up an ore shoot in the Daisy, it is
believed, and no delay will be permitted
IN reaching the designated point as soon
rs possible. Work will also be done in
tho Agatha in the near future.
John T. Fitch is working on the Nor
man lode, and has been sacking up some
good looking ore, we understand. He is
also doing the annual assessment work
on other clcims he owns in that section
of the district.
VIM. Boucher has commenced active
operations on the Youngville, and expects
to soon be able 10 ship down some ore.
This mine sent down some good ore last
year and little work will probably open
up good shipper.
In the Lead King, work is being prose-
cuted on development. An uprnise is
being driven from the tunnel, and also a
drift from the lower level is being ex-
tended to reach the ore shoot.
A test run was made at the Hoffman
Smelter last week to try the machinery
just put in place. We are informed that
the run was entirely satisfactory and the
machinery worked smoothly.
The New York lode claim on Galena
Mountain is being worked by Mr.. Moke,
one Of its owners. This is said to be a
very promising prospect and may become
paying mine.
Work at the Mammoth Cave is being
kept moving. and r. J. Walter will re-
turn to camp the last Of the week to per-
sonally superintend the work.

it was twenty years later before the poll
