Tho mining prospects of l'locho are assuming a brighter at-peet every day, and what1 with new discoveries and locations and old claims being worked, the probability of its exceeding ita former importance grows more eerhiin a" time 1 a-Ms. The lulls are I'u'l ot pro-noi tors, many of them with co.' lodges and all with unbounded confidence confi-dence in their ultimate success. "Since our l.iat report bul loft leal ires of interest have arisen in tho working of tho Raymond A Ely. Everything in connection with the mine is moving mov-ing along satisfactorily. Tho late temporary reverses and mishaps have been entirely overcome. The west-rn ground is being worked with the same decree of success as hitherto, a considerable amount ol ore being i-aii-ed and shipped to Buliionville. r.lblll UtUl SnippiM IO I HI II HUM nie.

The lodge crops out at tho discovery aha tt and is from j two to three feet in thickness, which it maintains as far as followed on the hanging wall. Tne shaft is now sixty (eel deep, which follows tiie hanging wail of the ledge. The opinion of all who have examined it is that a body of rich ore will so-m be reached. Ali-s. Are working the usual force, extracting ore tivm tho new strike between tne l'U and oOO-foot levels. Sutlieient bullion is produced from the working of thij ore to pay all expenses of the mine. The quantity quan-tity of bullion shipped by the Alps at the present lime is second only to that of tiie Raymond 6c Ely. The ledge is well defined and has every appearance ot being permanent.
