304 The Mining and Srientitic Y froni exploring shafts and tuunels, and no particular atteution has been devoted to it. The company are expecting soon to fiud good roek in their lower tunnel, whichis uow being driven through very soft ground. A Sunrerranean Srrean.—The tunnel of the Gilmore Company, American Flat, Says the Territorial Enterprise, is on the point of cuttiug a large stream of water. he tunnel is now in 525 feet and is fast approaching this stream, the noisc of its waters being daily niore distinetly heard, It is supposed that a large lead, as well as a large stream of water, wiil shortly be strnek. passed through one lead of much promise, und should the one they soon expect to strike not prove satisfaetory, they will go back and develope this ouc, their front lead. Tur Jensy Livp is an old location, just north of the American Flat. ‘The first tunnel commeuced by this company was abandoned after running 200 feet. Two shatts were subsequently started and in time abandoned. A third was started in January last, whieli is still in progress. No drift will be run until the shaft is 200 feet deep, wlten it must be very near the ledze. Expectatious are on the qui vive as to what will be fuund when they reaeh the vein with this shaft. Navou£ox Consonipaten, located just west of the Anmeriean Flat, has: had considerable work doue upon it, in various times, sinee its locatiou in 1860, amounting in theaggregate to quite exteusive mining works. ‘The work in tlie elotm, latterly, has beeu devoted to running a tunnel to strike the vein at a lower point than heretofore attempted, and is by far) the wost extcusive of any work hitherto attempted in the claim. It is now iu about 300) feet, half the distance through blasting rock. The tunnel is ‘thought to be close npon the main ledge. Judging from surface indications the proprictors entertain strong hopes of striking a good vein. Jtich developnents are confidently expected iu that vieiuity at an early day, independent of this mine. Besr & Betcner.—There is still a large influx of water at this mine, making a steady use ofthe pump necessary, though it by ‘no means requires the full power of the pump to keep the work's drained. HUMBOLDT. Tue Sneza is still pushing its work ahead, employing ey hands. Large lots of first elass ore is shipped to San Fraucisco for Europe. A uew featore at this mine, suys the Humboldt Register, is the sluicing appar: atus, for saving small partieles of “yieh ore. This employs a string of menand boys, who save {housands of dollars by assorting mineral from waste roek and putting it through the jiggers, to take off the earthy matter. This jigging business is not cmployed in any other silver mine ie the erritory. Fifty tons of maehinery for this” mill were at Red Bluff on the 23d ult., awaiting teams. A contract has been made for the required lumber, whieh is to be delivered the 25th inst. Tue Ds Soro.—Superintendent Fewell is getting out some ore for shipment to this city. A lot of ore was recently worked at the Star mill, after roasting, with a fine result, according to the Iegister. metal cannot be cxtracted from these antimonial ores by any mill process yet iutrodueed, without previous roasting. A tunnel will soou be eommeneed to strike the ledge fifty feet deeper than it has hitherto been opened. The old tunuel will hereafter be used mainly for veutilating purposes. ‘Twelve men are constantly employed at this nine. Tus Un:irep Srares—A small lot of roek from this mize was put through a mill process some three weeks since, and yielded $210 to-the ton. Mr. Root, who ownsa large interest in this mine, has hudertaken its managemeut, and thiuks he can make the work of development pay as it progresses. He has already several tons of ore.out, which he thinks is quite as rich as the sample above inentioned. Mooxticur.—A large quantity of second elass ore from this ledge, thrown aside when the work was in progress, is now being hauled to Fall's mill to be crushed. Gex or Sterra.—A new lelge was struck in this claim about three weeks siuce, showing an abundance of metal of the same charaeter as the old ledge. Seven tuns were takeu ovee to Lang Syue mi Tum Evexinc Star.—lwo and a half tous of ore from this mine, was worked at Fall's mill a few days since, whieh yielded $1,000.28 in bullion—$.100 per ton. ‘fhe vein from whieh this rock was taken out is'said to be well defined, and from 214 to 3 feet thiek. The Superintendent sta‘es that he will proceed, at ouce, to take out a large quantity of oro at this point, The company have already The . MINING NOTICES-APERIUL 30th.
