84 SCIENTIFIC PRESS. [August 12, 1871. ‘Mininc Summary. THE following information is gleaned mostly from journals published in the interior, in close proximity to the mines mentioned. California. ALPINE COUNTY. Guose Mive.—Miner, July 29th: The Levinthan ore has netted the mine on the dump not far from $50 per ton. Itis used jn immense quantities for the amalgamation of free silver ores. Tho developing of a large hody of argentiferous copper in the Glohe mine has put it also upon a paying basis, A sample of the first-class ore analyzed hy Prof. Rickard yielded as follows: Biileixco comucos ananccooood 0,001=$ 5.02 Gilver...ccecesecreeeeee 0,048 18.85 100,000 For the copper alone this ore is worth on the dump over $50 per ton, and the Dayton people offered to contract for 100 tons. The combing of a chimney of ore has been followed for upwards of 80 feet, and in one place a pit was sunk upon iteight feet deep when the vein opeued out to three feet oi solid ore, and tive additionel feet of soft ore that will have to be dressed in Cornish style to fit it for market. The present limited developmeut justifies the most sanguine hopes of an immense body of rich ore. Sruver Guancse.—Ore in small quantities was developed intheraisein this mine this week. The Monitor and Northwestern mill is in aforward state of completion, and before August shall have passed a stream of bullion will have commenced to flow out of Monitor. BUTTE COUNTY. . Curroxee.—Orville Record, Aug 5th: Four or five hundred men, are now encamped in the vicinity of Cherokee Flat, engaged on the various ditches for hringing water to that locality. The Cherokee company have about one hnndred and fifty on the line of their ditch from Butte creek; the Spring Valley Company have about the same number on their works near Concow Valley, and Mr. Hendricks has some two hundred on his ditch from the West Branch to Morris Ravine. CALAVERAS COUNTY. New Morn in Operarion.—Chronicle, Aug. 5:—The new first-class mill, Hartigan & Co. proprietors, on the Whisky Slide mine, commenced crushing last week. The battery is composed of ten stamps, a 50-horse power engine furnishing the power. A hig ‘‘clean up” is expected soon. Goop Rocr.—Favorable news is received from the ‘‘Wolverine” and Railroad Flat. The shaft commenced hy the Co. who recently purchased the mine has reached 100 feet, and the lead shows romarkable well throughout the entire distance. Hoisting works, run by steam have recently been placed on the claim. Highty tons of quariz taken from the shaft unassorted, crushed in Harris’ mill at Sandy Gulch, yielded $25 perton. H. H. Sheldon is the energetic supt. LOS ANGELES COUNTY. Buxtion.—Los Angeles News, July 29: Three hundred and twenty-six bars of hullion, weighing in the aggregate 27,493 ths., were received from Cerro Gordo yesterday. Also 205 bars from the O. L. S. L.

It has heen worked fora number of years with profit and the ground will last an indefinite time, with all the force which can work upon the claims. The gravelis rnn through a mill, and until the 5th of July last, the mill was driven hy water power. Since that date the five stamps of the mill have heen run hy a steam engine. A clean up was made on Monday and gold to the amount of over $4,000 was taken out. This gives a profit of over $100 a day to the owners above expenses. Our Yieup.—Cazetie, Aug. 2d: It is said thatthe yield of all the mines of Nevada county, for the last year, will not fall short of $7,000,000.

The locators will immediately commence the development of the claims. Ditton Mine.—Stars and Stripes, Aug. 3: Specimens of quartz thickly studded with gold, from the Dillon mine near Rock Creek, have been exhibited to us. We are informed that by working test the returns from this rock run away up into the hundreds of dollars per ton. Crepar Leper.—Herald, Aug. 5th: This claim has heen worked occasionally for four years. Jt is now beginning to attract general attention.

Rarriesnake Bar}[tems.—Cor. Stars and Stripes, Aug. 3d: The North Fork ditch is dry two-thirds of the time, which is a great loss to our miners..A chunk of amalgam worth $58 was the resultof two days’ drifting by one man in J.

If the water caz be kept in the North Fork ditch I would not change places with the Bald Hill or Ophir quartz districts, Tue Wreske Mixt.—Turkey Hill paida little over $3,300 for the week; about $500 per day to its owner, Unless the bed-rock commences rising again shortly, weske will perfect necessary appliaucesfor taking advantage of the down grade and getting out fully the nsnal amount of the rich gravel which shows no signs of diminution in his wonderful claim.
