Show LITTLE COTTONWOOD JIIX1NG SIMMAKY. For tlie Week Ending October 1U. VALLEJO. Tho air shaft was completed on Thursday, the length of the connection being ninety feet. This will give an abundance of air to every part of tho mine, and thus insure the rapid sinking sink-ing of the main shall from the tunnel level, a work the prosecution of which ) as been retarded because of a lack of ventilation. The mine is yielding ore as usual, but tho quantity will be steadily increased with the extension of the prosent and the opening of new drifts, giving wider scope for Btoping. The main shaft is down sixty feet, and now that amnle ventilation has been secured, a drift will be run from its bottom along the vein, VANDEBBILT AND CITY BOCK. These mines have passed into the hands of Messrs. Ely & Harker, and their development will be prosecuted with increased vigor. JONES AND PADDOOK. Lately incorporated in Salt Lake city, are situated en Lexington Hill, about 1.000 yards easterly from the Peruvian. Will work ail winter. Stocked at a million. PERUVIAN AND IDA. Are old locations, owned by Moore, Reed and others. The former already ranks high and has lately bean released re-leased from a bond and will work all winter. The Ida has a shaft 125 feet deep with a good showing of ore in the bottom. ILLINOIS. A survey has been made for a drift to connect the tunnel with the Cincinnati Cin-cinnati shaft, and work will be immediately imme-diately commonced upon it. This connection con-nection is an absolute necessity for ventilation, ven-tilation, the air at the extreme end of the tunnel having been for some time so bad a to rough-lock vigorous work. 1 DAISY. Owned by God be &, Lawrence, situated situat-ed on Peruvian Hill, about 1,000 yards southerly from the "Peruvian" mine, is being rapidly developed. A shaft is sunk sixty feet deep and a drift run to the ore. which has opened out to 3 feet. Oro on the dump, about forty tons, assays from 75 to 100 ob. per ton. Preparations are making for winter's working. LOUISA. Discovered this spring and situated a thort distanco north-easterly from the Oxford, shows a vein of four feet carbonate ore, averaging about 00 oz. per ton. Several tunne'a have been started on the vein, one of which has beea driven about seventy five feet; and a house, shop and other improvements improve-ments necessary for a winter's cam paigo are being constructed, indicating business. WINSOR-TJTAH The Savage is yielding an increased quantity of ore. The superintendent has just completed an admirable sell-: acting ventilating arrangement some- j what upon the plan of a wind sail. The Last Chance tunnel is completed, and a drift run from its level, forty-five feet, tapping the incline of the Hiawatha. This drift follows an ore lode, without a break, the entire distance, thus demonstrating de-monstrating that the two mines arc one and the same. A considerable amount of ore has been stoped from the north side of the drift without encountering en-countering a wall rock. The opening of this drift, which the former owners were too timid to undertake, greatly enhances the value of the property, and encourages tba owners to risk further developments. OXFORD AND GENEVA. Located about 1,500 feet southerly from the Daisy mine, containing 800 feet each, recently purchased by a Detroit company, who have consolidated consolidat-ed the two mines and are driving a tunnel to cut both veins at a respective depth of 100 and 175 feet, A good vein measuring twenty-seven inches of mineral. assAymg from 15 oz. to 50 oz. in silver per ton, and carrying 56 per cent, lead, has been cut by the tunnel in running less than fifty tcet. The Oxford shows at the depth of forty feei, a vein six feet from wall to wail, the ore assaying from 40 to 220 oz., silver, per ton, and lead 54 per cent The Geneva, situated 100 feet above the Oxford, is a tine fissure vein, located between the lime and quartzite formations, running parallel with the Oxford, and shows a crevice of over five feet in width, containing ore, samples assaying from 40 to 300 oz. in silver and 42 per cent, lead per ton. The property referred to i being rapidly developed, and all the necessary conveniences, such as houses, shops and sheds are being constructed for winter's working. GENERAL. The quantity of ore being freighted down the canyon is steadily increasing. A number of new mines have commenced com-menced to ship ore, and at least 200 teams are employed in freighting between be-tween the mines and the furnaces and railroad. Mine owoers are availing themselves of tho fair weather to prepare pre-pare for winter, and enterprises that had been abandoned for the season are being rehabilitated for.winicr working. |
