The three mines on Ruby Hill are being
worked to the entire satisfaction Of the
owners. The Champion and Buckeye, the
mines Of the Consolidated Company, are
working 10 men and getting out 20 toni of
ore per day. besides doing some dead
work. In a few days more men are to be
put on, and the yield will then be from
80 10 GO tons. about enough TO keep the
three furnaces OF the company running.
The quantity seems to be inexhaustible in
both mines, and the superintendent is
convinced that he can get ore to the sur
face from either Of them for 81 so per ton.
The ores raised from these mines produce
bullion worth $3.50 per ton, Of which large
mounts are regularly shipped to San
Francisco and Newark, New Jersey. The
Richmond, lying directly northwest and
adjoining the Champion, Is q of the fin
est mines in the district. There is o q
tunnel OF Is feet in length, and q shaft In
the tunnel 80 feet deep. with q drift Of 16
feet, and all these workings are in ore Of
good quality. Four men can get out 80
tons Of ore a day, and 1t will yield about
1925 in gold and from $50 to 5000 in
silver. The assays have been very much
alike in all the workings, and although
some other mines have been richer in some
few specimens, not one has been so
steadily of an average value as this. From
recent assays from average samples the
yield was SIS more than average samples
of the Champion or Buckeye.
