Locan Recorp.—Silver City Avalanche, Jan. 18: The North Oro Fino Discovery continues to yield 25 to 30 tons per day— which is worked at the Owyhee Co.’s mill. A. P. Minear, is running it in eonnection with the Sonth Oro Fino, helonging to the Ida Elmore Co. The latter mine is yielding about 25 tons of ore daily. Mr. Minear is also working the North Oro Fino Co.’s ground through the same shaft, and has let a contract to rnn the 3d level drift in the Discovory elaim to the line, whieh will break through into the 2d level of the North Oro Fino, where there is already a large hody of ground opened. The 7th level drift of the.Ida Elmore is in about 40 ft. on the rich body of ore lately diseovered in that portion of the mine. tho Co.’s mill next week. The 6th level drift, in the same mine, is also heing driven north. Stoping is actively going on in the Sth level of the Golden Chariot, where the vein is over 2 ft. wide and the ore of excellent quality. Next week there will be 500 tons ready for the mill. The Minnesota mine bids fair to be one of*the best mines in camp. Drifts are heing run hoth north and sonth as fast as possible on a good vein of ore, which is easily worked in both tho mine and the mill. Ten stamps of the Elmore mill have been running on Minnesota ore for the last 2 weeks. It pays about $60 per ton ehiefly. The Mahogany is turuing out richer ore from its 4th level than was ever before seen inthatmine. Drifts are being driven hoth north and sonth' on tho tth level, also a winze from the 3d level down. There is quite an exeitement about the ore in the tth level of the Sonth Chariot, !which is very rieh. The ore from that ' drift will be worked this week. Some of the ore will be worked in. In the War Eagle mine a winze is heing sunk from tho 2d to the 3d level, ahout 100 ft. south of the shaft through a rich chimney of ore. Montana. Pin.uirsnurc.— Deer Lodgo Independent, Jan. 13: Brown & Co. aro working 11 men on tho Cordova ledge. They have an $-ft. ledgo of good ore. The St. Lonis & Montana M.

JEPFERSON Mixes.—Uelena Gazette, Jan. 8: Bell & Co. are at work on their lode, tho ‘31 Dorado,” and have heen taking firstclass ore ont 01 hoth shaft and tunnel, and still there is 2 large hody of ore in sight. The ‘‘Minnesota” is being worked hy the owners, and, is considered to he tho hest lode in the dist. There are quitoannmher of miners in camp prospecting and running tunnels, trying to tap lodes they have discovered heretofore. Among the latter, are Dr. Brooks & G. Gregorie, whose tunnel, running to one of their late discoveries, hids fair for galena soon. J. Halford is running a tnnnel for the ‘ Self Supporter” with fair prospects of a good ‘‘streak”. Utah. Buuuron.—Salt Lake Tribune, Jan, 11: W.F. & Co. forward to-day to New York, 17 bars from the Raymond ¢& Ely works, worth $51,134.57, On the 16th, (same paper Jan. 18,) they forwarded to same place from Meadow Valley works, 7 bars, worth $9,087,81, and on tho 18th. they forwarded 4 hars, 316 lhs., valued at $5,172.89 from the Pioche S$. M. Co., also consigned to New York. N. P. Woops shipped from tho 12th to the 15th of Jan., about17 car-loads of hase hnilion to Omaha, one car-load going to Chicago. Cotumpra Dist,—Tho mines that are being worked are the Chimney Corner, Gold Eagle, Champion, and the Washington. Chimney Corner is down on an incline 85 ft., showing, bnnches of chloride ore which appears to he very rich in silver. Gold Eagle lias hecn Inying idle for some time owing to a conflict of titles. The original owners have, however, resumed work at their discovery shaft with the view of sinking and drifting throngh to tho Augusta which is ahout 150 ft. south of tho original discovery of the Golden Eagle. Champion Co. have tapped their ledge at a depth of 35 ft. in their tunnel, exposing a large hody of gray carhonate and apparently rich iu silver. The Washingtons areimproyving as work progresses. A new discovery was mado last week by Cex & Linton on Liheral Hill, about 150 ft. east of the Champion mine and probably the riehest diseovery inthe dist. Very little has been dono and a large hody of ore is in sight that assays high in silver. American Forr—The Snltana works are in a flourishing eondition. ploy 40 teams day and night and are making a very sneeessful rnn on their furnaces, having 100 tons of bullion already on hand, and eoal enough to smelt 200 more. The orein the mine (the Miller) seems to be holding out well. A contract has been let for the delivery of 1200 tons. East Canon.— Cor. same: On the north side of this eaiion, abont 634 miles from town, very rich deposits have heen found. Further np the mountaiu and we eome to the San Joaquin in 50 ft.

On Base Ifill (so ealled) are the Sevier, Veloeipedes 1 and 2, Miner’s Delight, Silver Shield, Wild Delirium, Hidden Treasure, Fairview, McCullum, Antclope and others —all yielding good smelting ore and apparently heavy bodies. TheCo. em-'. 8 In Dry Caton we have the Fourth of July, Chicago, Soverign, Kearsarge, Monitor, Silver Eagle, Unelo John, Crown Point and others. The foothills abound in rich deposits: and contain several good leads. Below Ophir are a nnmher of leads and prospects located by the English Co, The El Capitan, a mine on Chloride Hill, io promising well. Ithas a vein of ore 16 inches in thicknoss, which assays on nu nverage $300 por ton. The Clark and Gardener is yielding considerahle ore, which is worth $180 per ton. Rioh discoveries have lately been made on Shoo Fly Hill, consisting of horn and nativo silver. Arastras are doing well. One stnrteda few days ago by Williams £ Co., works up to 70 per cent. of the assay value of tbe ore. Tho Ophir M.1& S. Co. will start their furnace again next Monday. Mr. Akin will have his fnrnace ready by the last of the month, when itis nnderstood the Pioneer Mill will ngain steam up.
