4 SCIENTIFIC PRESS. [July 8, 187z. ae ® Pine } UMMARY. Tae following information is gleaned mostly from journals published in the interior, in close proximity to the mines mentioned. California. ALPINE COUNTY. Tansuisn.—iiner, June Mth: We have been shown a letter from a gentleman in London, in which itis stated that they have informatiou from here—and the source of this information is easily traced to one whose opportunities are greater fur judging than the Manager himself—that the Schenectady mine is opening up large hodies of ore of an average value of $500 per ton,and that there is now in sight therein an eight years’ supply for e 70-stamp mill. Guosr.—he mine is lookiug well. President Winchester has now permanently taken up his residence in Monitor, CALAVERAS COUNTY. Wat CHEER.—Chronicle, July Ist: Tabor is being pushed on the What Cheer mine in Chili Guleh. The new machinery % kept in motion day and night. INYO COUNTY. Ricw Strize.—Independent, June 24th: The Whittekind mine, in Cerro Gordo, is producing large quantities of rich ore from a newly discovered body 30 feet from the surface, and the same distance north from the main shaft. It is reported to he equal to the best ever opeued in the mine, $3,000 worth haying been extracted in the past two weeks. Work progresses on the tunnel, which taps the ledge 80 feet below. SPEcImEN.—Mr, Schulte has a specimen of antimonial silver ore, from the San Lucas mine, which assays 600 ounces per ton, NEVADA COUNTY. ANOTHER STRI«E.— Transcript, June 30th We mentioned thatthe North Bloomville Gravel Co, were taking out in their drifts in Shaft No. 1, at Malakoff mine, $1,000 per day, having prospects from the surtace tothe bed rock. They are now down to the bed rock in shaft No. 3, and have excellent prospects. The distance between the two shaits is three-quarters of a mile and the striking of the last prospect is important as demonstrating a continuous channel from one to the other. Axutona Company.—Grass Valley Union, June 2d: Tue mine is on Alta Hill northwest of Grays Valley. We have noticed that the Altona had sunk a shaft to the bed rock through rich gravel. The shaft was continued down, in the bed rock, auda drift run under the gravel 320 ft. from the hottom of the ehaft. At that distance the miners have ‘“‘raised up” into a very rich and extensive body of gravel. Cross tnnnels are being started for drifting out the pay dirt. PLACER COUNTY. Ditton Minz.—Herald, July ist: The shaft has heen pumped out and is down near 60 feet, at which point the full ledge, 8 or 4 feet thick, will be shown in the bottom. This so far as worked has beeu very rich, all the rock having averaged by mil! working over $80 tothe ton. The claim belongs tothree working miners, John Dillon, Jacob Cowan and P. Hines. St, Parrick.—This company has had 2% thorough survey of the mine, showing the exact relative position of the ledge at the surface and fora depth of 220 feet, by U. S. Deputy Surveyor Bethell. The shafts and levels show a vast body of rich ore exposed, Our Mines.—Stars and Stripes, June 29: The yield of the Yule claim, above Last Chance, for the past week, was ainetyeight ounces, worth $1,815, for six days’ work by eleven men, or within a fraction of an ounce and a half per day per mau, A two week run of the mill—4 stamps— at the Grecne mine has yielded withiu a fraction of fifty thousand dollare, which is reckoned the heaviest yield on record. Dorcn Fuat.—We are informed that the claims in operation are netting as good returus as in’ any previous year, and better than for several last past. Rablin, Teaff and others in the Summit claims. Plug Ugly hill, recently patented, realized fifty-five and forty-eight pounds respectively, from their two last clean-ups after two weeks’ washing. This Co. owns the fee to over one hundred acres of ground supposed to be as good. RattLesnake Bar.—Cor. of same: We bave plenty of water in the North Fork Ditch now, aud it is suppposed that it will run steadily, so all who wish to mine and prospect can come along, PLUMAS COUNTY. Bie Tunnet EntEerprrise.—Quincy National, July 1st: The Keuka Co., Messrs. Baker, Thomas and others, are running a prospecting tunnel near the head of Deadwood Creek. which empties into the Middle Fork of Feather river near Butte Bar. The Co. commenced in 1862. They are now in 1,600 feet, 1,200, of which has been through hard hed rock. They expect to strike gravel in a short time now, and will tap the channel at the depth of over 1,200 feet from the surface. The indicatious are that some very valuable claims will be opencd. TUOLUNINE COUNTY. Stizz Payvs.—Sonora Democrat, July Ist: The claim bought by Burgess & Jones of Columbia continues to pay well. Week before last $3,000 was taken out, and last week 180 ounces from 12 tons of rock. The work of ouly two men. Nevada. COPE DISTRICT. Movnrain Crty.—Cor. of Elko Independeni, July ist: The Independent mine continues to turn out thousands of dollars weekly. The Argenta Co. are running levels, sinking shafts, etc., preparatory to putting ou a large force of miners. The Pride ot the West is proving itself one of the richest mines in the camp. Atthe depth of 80 feet, it shows a four foot ledge of very rich ore, The ElDorado, worked by Hays, Niver & Co., shows at a depth of forty-five feet, a four foot ledge, and the ore works $125 ¢0 $200 per tou. The Monitor hasa force at work taking out some of as rich ore as I have seen iu this country. The tollowing is from tho Bulletin correspondent at same place under date June 20: During the last year, the Argenta and Excelsior companies have extracted and re duced over 2,000 tons of ore, which worked $40 to $100 per ton, and even higher, at a cost for reduction at no time exceeding $20 per ton. Hitherto the ores extracted have beeu taken out within 100 feet of the surface, but the Argenta are to commence stoping from the 400-foot level, and will soon keep all the mills in camp employe The owners of the Independent have out 100 tons of fine ore, and recently 25 tons, reduced by dry crushing and roasting, uetted $300 per ton. This ledge is said to be nearly threo fect wide. The El Dorado ledge is five feet in width, and is opeued by a ehaft 50 feet deep on the ledge. In isinking this, 25 tons of ore was extracted, which gave an averago pulp assay of $230 per ton, ELY DISTRICT. New Mini.—H. Mathey left on Friday for a 20-stamp mill, which he purposes erecting betweeu this place and Highland. It is to do custom work, though the main purpose is to reduce ores from the mines at Highland. We want at least halfa dozen more mills. For the want of them twenty mills are idle within a mile o Pioche. Bourrion.—Wells, Fargo & Co. shipped, on June 22d and 24th, by way of Salt Lake, $31,709.96. Same of 29th says that they shipped, ou on June 25th and 27th, $25, 317.67. Hirxo.—Cor. of the same: The Crescent is proving itselfa No.1 mill. That it will run right along is certain, as there will he no lack of ore. The rich District of Timpiute and Southeastern must use the Cresent,” as, also must Freiherg fora time. Work is heing dono on several leads at Pahranagat, with good results. The water is insufficient to run the mill ou full time. EUREKA DISTRICT. Goop Yirevp.—Sentinel, June 27th: Up to yesterday, for June, the Eureka Consolidated has smelted 335 tons of bullion. The Co. is sending the hullion to New York. We are promised that for July we cau report 500 tous of bullion produced by the Eureka Consolidated. The ore is in sight to make 3,000 tons of hullion. Muinine SaLes.—The sales ending yesterday, amount to about $300,000. Professor Clayton has been here for some time past, His report is looked upon as the test hy capitalists. Itis rumored that two other sales are ahont to be made in Seciet Catton, aggregating $375,000. At no time since the organization of the district has there been so promising an appearaucc. Pinto 8. M. Co. (Limrrep.)—Same of 28th: There will he a tunnel started at once, which will be 540 feet long, and will reach the line of the shaft 109 feet below the lowest point yet. When the purchase was made there had been work douc during 18 months, and the former owners made a clear profit, beyond the cost of the mine and the price paid for lahor, of $100,000. Same of 30th says: We learn that the company will construct a 20-stamp dry crushing mill, with roasting furnaces, to be of the best material and workmanship, and in complete working order by November 15th. . Apams AND Farren.—Same of 29th: The strike now made proves that there is a continuous body of ore in the incline and shaft as large as has yet heen found in the district. By this discovery it has heeu proven that there is ore enough to run the three furnaces'the Phoenix Co. now have, for two years at least. HUNIBOLDT. Star District.—Silver State, July 1st: A geutloman from Star, who was aresident of that place when the Sheba mine was the pride of the Humboldt mountains, informs us that at no time did it ever look so well as at the present. He predicts for Star an astonishing revival within afew months. There are now four companies at work, three of them, the De Soto, Whitmore and Trinity, with a small force of men iu each, and the Sheba, with about 20 men. The coucentrating mill is constantly at work. The De Soto. is taking out limited quantities of ore for shipment, as the company has no means of reducing it on the ground. It is reported that this mine has just changed owners, haviug heen purchased by the English company in Reuo, at a good price, Buiiion.—The amount shipped from the Arizona mine, through Wells, Fargo & Co., since our last issue, was $8,058. REESE RIVER, Citizens’ Mitu.— Reveille, July 1st: This . evening we understand that the boilers will be fired, and the powerful engine set in motion, in order to turn the pulleys. WASHOE. Ornin.—Enxierprise, June 27th: Good progress is made in sinkiug the new sectiou of the shaft, though the rock in the bottom has been harder for a day or two, This hardness is not likely to prove permanent. Srerra Nevapa.—Same of 29th: The ore in the vein, 125 feet below the surface, has greatly improved. Oro euough to keep the mill running for a year is now in eight. Kentuck.—The company are tekiug out 50 to 60 tons of ore per day, which is being crushed hy the Excelsior, Gold Hill, Quartz, and San Francisco mills. Buuton.— We yesterday saw at the Bank of California $40,000 in silver hars, from the Yellow Jacket aud Crown Point mines. Savaor.—The whole of the large hody of wator tapped a few days since by the Savage Co., continues to flow iutothe Hale & Noreross. The rush of water forced back guch a quantity of slaty rock as to block up the tunuel trom the Savage shaft. This is gradually being cleared out, and when the pumps of both miuee cau attack the water, the draining will be hasteued. InreeriaL.—Same of 30th: Aunual meeting has heeu held, and report submitted. The total amount expended on the Imperial-Empire shaft is $480,452, aud the developments have been carried to the 1,300-foot level. The resnlts are uot very satisfactory as yet, hut the work is still pushed with promise, Hope Mine Sonp.—Same of 30th: James Fair and John Mackey have purchased the Hope mine in Silver City, helow the Devil’e Gate. Itis said that their principal object was to secure the water. CuoL~uaR-Porosi—The ore breaets look as well as ever, the usual quantity of ore is being extracted and the assays run ahout the same as for months past. Hare & Norcross.—Same of July ist: The water was thought to be somewhat on the wane in the Hale & Norcross mine yeeterday. It is helieved that the hoisting tanks and pumps are beginning to make some impression, _Irems.—Gold Hill News, June 27th: Owing to the hoisting works of the Crowu Point mine being fully employed, no arrangements can probably be made to work the lower depths of the Belcher through the Crown Poiut shaft. Arrangements perhaps might be made with the Yellow Jacket. On the 21st inst., $24,000 was sent down from theCrown Point mine, and on the 22d, $27,000 from the Chollar-Potosi. Bunion FoR June.—Enierprise, July 2d: The amouut shipped from the office of Wells, Fargo & Co. in this city, last month, was 305 bars, weighing 27,287 pounds and worth $741,467.40, The water in the Hale & Norcross holds ahout the same. The pumps and tanks are kept constantly running and some impression is being made upon the volume of water helow. Surro Tunnet.—The tunnel was in yesterdy 2,178 feet. The rock is hard, requiring powder. There is very little water at the face of the mine. WHITE PINE. Revirw.—News, July 1st: Inu the North Aurora a large body of rich ore has been struck, The ore now gives a regular average, at the mill, of $92 per ton, The dumps of the North Aurora, Ward Beecher and Kherhardt are becoming choked up with ore—the tramway, carrying 135 tons per day, and the 60-stamp mill, pounding away regularly, not heing able to keep them clear. There are now 1,100 tons piled up at the mill, Mr. Attwood intends to shut down the tramway, straighten the line, after the hight of some of the posts; and when this is done, he expects to be able to transport suflicient ore to supply the Internationaland Stanford mills. The engine and machinery for the steam hoisting works on the Ward Beecher are on the ground. The Ward Beecher Consolidated, is also under Gov. Blasdel, developing into a first-class mine. The Manhattan mill is running steadily, and it is the intention to shortly start up the Dayton, on ore from this mine. A large body of high grade ore has been struck in the Featherstone, an old location. There has heen no time in tho history af White Pine when the mines throughout the District looked as promising as‘at present. Tse hullion shipment for the last week amounts to $53,794. 42. Irrms.—Eberhardt ore now coming out assays $50 per ton, Shipping 30 tons daily to mill.South Aurora has 900 tons at the mill. Ward Beecher Consolidated . ships 35 tons daily of good ore.O. H. Treasure looks well, and is shipping ore to Big Smoky mill. Arizona. Mines,—Prescott Afiner, June 24th: The California epirit of 49 is rampant among our people. Ledges have been found to the north, east, west and south of Prescott, and are heing opeued with a will. Capitalists and experts from other Statee and Territorics are here, buying and examining, and soon engines and reduction works will he heard andseen. We went to Bradshaw, we saw the metal, the water, the timber, the prospsetors and miners, and are more than ever convinced that Arizona is the richcet mining section of Uncle Sam’e domain. Silver bricks are now quite common in Prescott, and silver ore that assays from $100 to $10,000 per tons may be scen in almost every house. Watuapal District.-Same of June 10: A reliable correspondent writee from Mohave county: ‘‘Fifteen men are working from day till dark, constructing a large and expensive furnace, They have an excelleut wagon road from some of their mines to the furnace. They have now on the dump, at the Keystone Co,’e mine, 5 to 20 tons of rock that assays nearly $3,000 to the ton, and are only waiting for oresacks to ship it to San Francisco. The San Francisco Co. have a good force getting out rock of the same quality. The Mohave Co. and Nevada Co, will smelt their ores in the district as soon as the furnace is completed. The Spear, Bennet, Five Forks and other companies are developing mines. The Walkalip have constructed a dwelling-honse for the miners, The company are opening up two or three promising ledges.” Colorado. Cantpou Mine.—Herald, June 28th:— Upon the part of the mine operated by Mr. Cutter, a small hoisting engine has lately been put in place; upon the half still in control of the original ownere, a horse whim is now heing put in running order. Another eix months will moet likely prove the Carihou to he the etar mine in the territory. Parx Counry.—Cor. of Denver Tribune,, June 28:—At Musquito District, Moyanhan & Hostetler are running four arastras on War Eagle ore, that is yielding $70 per ton. They are only reducing second-class ore, ‘*‘ Uuele Tom” Cumming is at work on the Ohio lode. Smith & Co., are ona new discovery, that looke well. Mr. Musgrove has leased the Douglass mill, and intends running it on custom ores, Prof, DuBois, at Buckskin, intends having his furnace in operation by the last of July. I understand that it will have a capacity of ten tons per day, and that he intende purchasing ore. Bergh & Edmonds have leased the Bates & Burrall arastra mill and are rnnuing on ore that afew years ago was considered worthless, hut is now yielding 2 handsome profit. Hon. J. B. Stuusell, agent for a Chicago company, is building two arastras. At Montgomery the Pioneer mill is running on Parsonage ore, that is yielding $100 to $150 per cord, Mz, Fay is running two arastras, on qnartz from the Fay lode, and is taking out good pay. Oro Crry.—Cor. of Register, 28th:—Last week the Five-twenty mill was started on Printer-Boy ore. The first two cords cleaned up eighteen ozs. in fine gold, though the ore was notas good asthe general
