March 23, 1872.] SCIENTIFIC PRESS. 181 Leavenworth, a short distance above tho Eqnator and Compass & Squaro lodes. Tho discovery is heing worked by Clark & Co. and McCoy & Co. East of tho discovery, Stowol, Cox & Co., Hurd & Co., Chipman & Co., Mahancy & Yellows, and a Co. of Swedes aro working ground in tho order named. West from the discovery Mairs, Shoa & Co., Ingrnm & Co., Papin & Co. and J. Gunew & Co. are working gronnd inthe order numed. Nearly every Co. have struck good pay. The valuo in coin, of the oro yield of the mine is at the rate of $1,000 per diem. Goup Hitu,—Central Register, March 6: A private letter informs us that Cort & Day expect to havo their shaft and engine louse on the Horsofall lode comploted by tho 15th or 20th of March, when they will commence hoisting water, As soon as the water is out of the mino; a large force of men will be put in the mino to work night . and day. Wx. Tussis has leased the Teller property, on the Adclino lode, also the adjoining claims to the west, on tho Gunnel hill. Me takes possession tomorrow, and will push the work with cnergy. Sinpuents of bullion from the Caribou mill are hecoming regular and freqnent. 5S. B. Anprews, of ‘Carihou, placed some ores on our table, from the following lodes, viz: ‘t Seven-thirty,” “ Curibou,” ** Wabash,” and ** Potosi.” Of these lodes, ho says, the first carries a pay-streak 18 inches in thickuess, and the drifts are being run cast and west on the vein. The main shaft on the ‘ Caribou ” 250 ft, deep. The first-class oro inthis shaft is one ft. thiok, The cast shaft is down 140 ft., and shows a 4 ft. veinof oro. The ‘‘ Wabash ” is GO ft. deop, and has 15 inches of good ore. Ontho “ Potosi,” the main shaft is 75 ft. decp. <A drift has been commenced at adepth of 50 ft. The ore is 2 ft. thick, and assays $150 per ton. Eight tons of ore have just heen shipped from this mine, to’ the Middle Bonlder mill. idaho. Locan Recorp.—Silver City Avalanche, March 9: Under the guidanco of J. Jewell, foreman of the Mahogany, we went through the varions levels, drifts and stopes of that mine on Wednesday. The main shaft is down 437 ft. from the surface. Four ft, from tho hottom of the shaft a tank has been put in to receive the water from the 5th level after tho vein shall have been tapped. Tho cross-cut from the hottom of the shaft is in ahout 8 ft., and Mr, Jewell expects to rnn from 8 to 10 ft. further heforo striking tho ledge. Tho shaft will shortly be put down to the 6th level. The 4th level is at a depth of 328 ft. The length of the cross-cut from tho shaft to the ledge at this point was 12 ft. Drifts have been rnn hoth north and south on the vein in the 4th level. The South drift has been extended 95 ft., and stopes taken off from cross-cut for 61 ft, in length with an average hight of 25 ft. The north drift is in 79 ft. with the hacks taken away for G5 ft, in length, and at an average hight of 35 ft. There is yet 35 ft. more ‘to mn before reaching the Sonth Chariot line; so that there is 2 fine vein of stopes, 126° ft. in length and still getting longer by extending south. Throughout the 4th level the ore is better than was ever hefore found in the mine, The pay streak is about a footin width, and will pay over $100 per ton. Free gold and pure silver in abundance can he seen in almost any of the quartz, and also in the granite casings. They have shipped ahont 250 tons of ore to the mill and have 50 tons on hand in the ore house. Forty-three men, all told, are employed in themine at present, and they are takiug out from 12 to 15 tons of ore every 24 hours. The South Chariot 4th level drift is in 228 ft., showing a 15-inch ledge, and looking hetter than over before since it was started. The 2d lovel drift of the Minnesota is in 140 ft. north from the shaft and 130 south. The ledge is from 6 to 15 inches in width, of ore that will pay ahont $60 per ton. Soura Mountain. — Boise Statesman, Mar. 9: Twenty-eight mon haye beou wintering in South Mt. Tho country has heen prospected in a limited manner for ahout 5 miles square. About 150 ledges have heen located. The Bay State, Yreka, Independent, Mammoth, Original and Monitor are the ones that are boing prospected, and may he considered as fairly tested. The Bay State is nearly solid galena; 5 tons sent toS. F. yielded $105 to the fou in silver, and 45 per cent. lead. The work is down 16 ft.; it shows an average of 4 ft. in width. The Goleonda is down 40 ft.—300 tons taken out. The lead opens 60 ft. wide. The ore is half carhonate and half galena. The Yreka is down 20 ft.; shows a large lead but the width is not known. Some of the ore has been sent toS. F., and works $100 to the ton; 50 to 100 tons havo heen taken ont. The Independent is down 18 ft.; shows 15 ft. wide; 200 tons of ore have been takon ont, and the ore is the same character and valuo as the Yroka, only a little more galena. The Mammoth shows on the snrfave 40 ft. wide. Only 3 days work havo been done on this lead. The oro assays $308 to the tou, he Original shows 125 ft. wide on the surfaco. "They havo run a cut 40 ft. across, and 25 ft. deep im the deepest placo. Tho averago assay is $42 in silver and 27 por cent. lead. ‘The Miami is down 45 ft.; shows 6 ft. wido; assays $120 to tho ton, Tho Monitor is down 25 ft., or ruther they have run a tunnel] on the lead 60 ft., and are in 25 ft. bolow tho surface; shows 20 to 30 ft. wido. Throo furnaces are to he pnt up in running order by the Ist of July. Tne Ourtook.—Idaho World, Mar. Most all the miners around Idaho City aro making preparations to commeuco work, and soveral of tho short ditches will he shoveled out during the coming week. Tho Chinese Cos. whoare working ground opposito town, under contract with the Bnena Vista Bar Co., have been gronndsluiciug for tho past week, and have about 110 hands at work. Weller & Bidwell and West & Ralston will have their claims rnuuning in Bear Run in a few days, and the Bnena Vista Bar Co. also have men at work on their bar claims on the west side of Etk creek, putting things in share to start thoir hydranlics. The Buena Vista ditch was cleaned out, and the wator has been rnnning through it for ahont 10 days, and the old Dunn ditch will he shoveled out and water put through it in tho course ofa week. The Alderson ditch, the Big ditch, and More Creek ditch, helonging to the Bnena Vista Bar Co., also, will probahly not be cleaned out for a couple of weeks yet. W. J. Hanks,fforeman of tho Empire, has that mine in splendid shape for working. Stopes are being driven north the entiro depth of the shaft, which is down 90 ft. from the surface. The ledgo averages a foot or more in width as far as it has yet heen worked, and the ore pays about $150 per ton. A new ledge, 1% ft. in width, has just come into the hottom of theshaft from the west. The Morning Star shaft will be down 220 ft. next week, from the hottom of which a drift will he run north 200 ft, to connect with the old works. Lower California. Macnrinery.—Ahout 2 tons, consisting principally of a railway track, were shipped to Ensenada yesterday. The material is intended for the mino und mill of Mr, MeKean. )e at Montana.

The crevice of paying quartz is abont 1% ft. in width, and shows every indication “of widening out.

Sly CoNSIONMENT oF CaALrrorNIAN PEARS.— We have often had to direct attention to the magnitnde of the fruit trade of this city and the enormous distances from which in many cases the Glasgow market is supplied. A hetter illustration of this could not possibly he adduced than the fact that on Saturday Mr. Thomas Davis, of the Bazaar, received a consignment of pears grown in Sacramento, California. The pears are of the Easter Beurre kind, and arrived in very good condition. The Easter Beurre is a magnificent species of pear, being twice or three times the size of our Jargonelle, of excellent flavor, and so well adapted for keeping that, notwithstanding the lateness of the season and the distance over which it has travelled, the fruit looks asfresh as if it had just heen Jucked from the tree.—North British Daily Maiti of Feb. 3d.

Sly CoNSIONMENT oF CaALrrorNIAN PEARS.— We have often had to direct attention to the magnitnde of the fruit trade of this city and the enormous distances from which in many cases the Glasgow market is supplied. A hetter illustration of this could not possibly he adduced than the fact that on Saturday Mr. Thomas Davis, of the Bazaar, received a consignment of pears grown in Sacramento, California. The pears are of the Easter Beurre kind, and arrived in very good condition. The Easter Beurre is a magnificent species of pear, being twice or three times the size of our Jargonelle, of excellent flavor, and so well adapted for keeping that, notwithstanding the lateness of the season and the distance over which it has travelled, the fruit looks asfresh as if it had just heen Jucked from the tree.—North British Daily Maiti of Feb. 3d.
