Savace Mixe.—Virginia Lulerprise, Jan. 26: The new main incline of the Savage ie 180 ft. below the tenth level, 40 ft. above which it starts. Tho incline is rnn upon an angle of abont 31° and has, therefore, uttuined a perpondicular depth of about 100 ft. At this point they are engaged in putting in tho station timbers for the eleventh level, which will bo 1,100 ft. in depth below the surfaco. Whilo the drift ou the oleventh is bcing run, work will"be continued on the incline tillit has reached tho fnrther perpendienlar depth of 100 ft. Parke & Bowre’s mill, on Six-mile Canon, is stoadily running on tailings, of which tlicy have an almost inexhaustiblo supply. Eureka Mitn.—Rapid progress is being made in the work of setting up the big Enreka mill on Carson River, Enuarcixa.—The Crown Point ehaft is being enlarged by the addition of another hoisting compartment; this gives the shaft three compartments.

Ovnin Mixe.—Sinuking upon the main ehaft was discoutinued at the depth of 1,250 ft. Drifting at the 1,100 ft. level is being vigorously proseeutcd. The rock, which was so hard at first that hut ahout 3 ft. per day conld be made, is of a more favorable character, and the drift is being pushed ahead at the rate of 4 ft. each day. Some workis being done on the 700-ft. level. WHITE PINE. Wanp Brecuren.—W hite Pine News, Jan. 20th: Sinking and drifting in the East end of the Phillpotts chamher, for the purpose of connecting with tho East drift of the Lady’e chamber.

The ore containing only a mere trace of lead, with a very large proportion of copper. The Cur is likewise 18 ft, in thiekness; a fissure vein which crops out holdly for a considerahle distanee. The ore is of different character from that of the Silver Queen and not nearly so rich. The Yellow Jacket is a new discovery and had not heen prospected. The operations in Welker and Hassay ampa Dist. heve heen unusually active. The work of taking out ore from the Benjamin, for shipment to S. F., is progreseing apece. Mr. Kelly gives it as his opinion that the 7 tons which are to be sent to 8. F. as one of the conditions of the sale, will yield the purchase money, $15,000.

The foremau is of the opinion that all the ehefts will he connected in two weeks from date. San Juan pet Nro.—There is a force of 5 mon at work sinking. The ore pitches off at an angle of 45 degrees, and has the appearance of forming into a true fissure vein. Average assays of the first-class ore go $250 to theton. Thereare ahout 70 tons on the dump, which asseys $60 and $70 to the ton. Norra Avrora.—Since last report the force of men in the Risdele has heen increesed. There isa fine body of highgrede ore in eight in the south end of the chember. The south drift of the Lady’e chember is showing ahout es usual. Bunches of high-grade ore come in, which is sacked below and shipped separately to mill. Hoisting es usual through the Engine shaft and shipping hy tramway to mill. Szconp Ex.or OnteinaL HippEn TreasuRE.—A drift wes started up recently, running in a eoutherly direction from the hottom of the Anchor tunnel incline. There is a hody of fair ore in eight.

Siuver Wave.—Work in the Cheuoweth, Lyford, end Perkins ehafts goee ahead ae usual. The Roswell chaft, near the sonth line of the Original Hidden Treasure, is ered to he a true fissure vein. Excavations have heen made on it to the depth of 45 ft. in which it continues to carry a uniform ,width of from 4 to 6 ft., the ore worked having yielded from $700 to $800 per ton, in silver. The ledge has beon traced and located for a mile. The Tiger mine is improving rapidly. Col. Heed and G. W. Bowers, this week, hrought over with them, specimens of ore showing about es much silver as ore. Jackson & Co., are still running their mill. Poland and Gaviu are fixing up for arastraing ore on upper Lynx creek. The Vulture Co. are doing well. Mouave Co.—Cor. same: The following mines in this locality are heing worked vigorously: The Telegraph, Keyetone, Fairfield and Mayflower. The Washington’ will be worked from this on, work heving heen commenced to-day. Mining and prospecting are being pursued quite lively on all eides. There are more than fifty ledges heing worked in this dist. Three assays of rock from the Fairfield went from $200 to $400 to the ton. The 5-stamp mill here h## uot heen running recently. The cause, is a want of chemioals. At Parkerville, an effort will be made to work arestras. Several diecoveries of rich galena ore have heen made here. The Keystone has 2 shafts, one 40 ft. and the other 50 ft. Colorado. Carrpou.—Cerihou Post, Jan. 13: Parker & Bailey have taken author contract on Wahash, to sink 13 ft. which will meke the whole depth 60 ft. Thie ehows constant improvement ae depth ie gained. The grand view is opening out eplendidly, now eunk tothe dopth of 45 ft. and with every foot in depth giving evidenco of the exhaustleee treesuree ofa true fiseure vein of silver. The owners of the Jones lode, west from the Carihou, have built a house over the main ehaft, and are prepered.to prosecute work in any weather. Gardiner & Bergor have sold the Grey Eagle lode to a Denver party for $5,100. Huppor & Moore are working the SovenThirty. . llook, has bought into the Saginaw lode, a very promising silver yein on Pomeroy Mt. : Patterson & Co., owners of the Kcarsing furnaee howe to commence emelting early in the Spring. In Cardinal tho Trojanis worked, and the surface and second-class ore is yielding lhundsomely in the 12 stamper act to the water-powcr of the Boulder creek.
Exstenpmse Lope. — The Enterprise Lode, an eastern extension of the Gilpin Co., ie improving rapidly, asthe work of dovelopment progresses. The shaft has reached the depth of 100 ft., disclosing a crevico of pay material from 20 inches to 2 ft. in width, On the north wall thero is a vein of mineral 2 or 3 inches in width, priucipally ziuc-blendo galona, with occasional spots of brittle silver. The ganguo rock, principally white quartz, feld spar and a proportion of talcoso matter, is considered a vory good indication of lodee opening out into fine crevices of ore in this locality. Wanp.—Tho following mines are boing ui worked this winter: TheColumbian, on 2 locatione, one heing tho Ward M. Co's. property, No. 10, east; the Menhattan and Celestial lodes, and the Discovery claim on ] the Sucker. The Ward Co’s, 20-stampmill will he kopt running most of the time. Montana.
