Show LITTLE COTTONWOOD MIXING SUMMARY. For the Week Ending Xovcmbtr 3. COLORADO. Not working. Incline down forty feet, following a small vein of low grade ore. STOKER. Incline down 160 foot, and contract let to sink 100 feet further. No chance to note in the size of vein or character of ore. aoruiR. Incline eighty feet deep, with a tunnel tun-nel fifty feet diverging from the couise of the incline about thirty degrees. Find pockets of rich ore. Now at work. RATTLER. From the bottom of the shaft, fifty feet deep, an incline has been run seventy feet tracing a narrow vein of fair grade ore all tho way, whioh thus far has failed to widen to dimensions satisfactory to the owners of the mine. BSiJ.E. Belongs to the Union mining company. Has an incline in 230 feet, following a scam of ore that is generally narrow, but occasionally Bwells into a flattering bulk. At bottom of incline the vein is about two feet thick. Not working. VALLEJO. In drifting from the old shaft, forty feet abovo the tunnel level, a fiue vein of excellent carbonate ore was struck on Thursday, and seams of tho same kind of ore havo been found in drifting from a level thirty feet abovo. No ehangc in the main winze below tho tunnel level. HIGHLAND CIllEF. Mr. Morgan, of Pittsburg, has recently purchased, so says plausible rumor, 900 feet of the 1,400 feot of this property at tho price of$ti0,-000. of$ti0,-000. The incline Is in ninety feet from the end of a forty foot tunnel. It follows the face of a vein of rich oro which has been left standing in sinking, only such portions of tho vein having been sloped out as interfered with a tolerably tolera-bly regular direction of tho incline. Wedges of country rock occasionally penetrate tho lode, dividing it for a short dis'ance, but separated or united it preserves a generally uniform dirca-tion dirca-tion and aggregates about an oven thickness. VICTORIA AND IMPERIAL. In the Anny May, a shaft sunk thirty feet below the first level, and about ninety fcot perpendicularly below the surface, follows a large lode of high grade ore. At tho bottom the lode has widened to the full dimensions of the shaft, and with levels run on iho line of it, a largo amount of rich ore might be readily extracted. The Excelsior incline is down eighty feet and discloses at its bottom & five foot lode of high grade ore. Work on both of these mines is being steadily pushed ahead, and they only lack systematic development develop-ment to become first class paying mines. The tunnel which will tap the two mines at a depth of 600 feet from the surfaoc is being run with all possible speed. No mines in the district have ever shown fairer than these at an equal stage of development. EMMA. The work of sinking the main winze has not yet commenced, and will not I be for two or three weeks, as it is the 1 intention of the superintendent before 1 commencing to tick, to put in place i ample pumping machinery to continue ! the work uninterruptedly. We havo j heard that within a lew days, in a drift I from this shaft somo distance above i its bottom, a deposit of extraordinarily rich ore has been penetrated for a distance dis-tance of twelve feet without finding a limit. We know that from this shaft some of the richest ore that ever came out of tho mine haa been takuu, and we are anxious to see the sinking of it continued both on this account, and because being the deepest shaft in the district, if the continuation of it demonstrates, demon-strates, as we confidently behove it will, that the Emma lode has a depth corresponding with its bulk, it will give confidence to the owners of other mines, and do away with tho too general gen-eral fear that in sinking there is great danger of finding a bottom of barren of ore. PERUVIAN HILL MINES. Owing to the late heavy fall of snow and the unprepared condition of owners own-ers of mines, but few are working on the west side of Peruvian Hill, compared com-pared with the great number of locations loca-tions made in that quarter. Among the most important of those that have suspended for want of comfortable quarters and a good supply of provisions, provi-sions, are the Daisy, Kentucky, Sun Flower, Jacob Astor, Bozcmao and Ida. Tho Louisa, Flagstaff No. 2, Oxford Ox-ford and Geneva, Macbeth, Alpha and Peruvian mines, are steadily developing, develop-ing, preparations having been made prior to the Btorm for a six months' siege of snow. Oo the east side of Peruvian Hill, facing Alta City, the Sedan, Jones & Paddock, and Jones & Paddock No. 2, are in full blast. |
