Show Raymond & Ely. We are glad to say that the temporary tem-porary inconvenience and annoyance annoy-ance occasioned by the defection of a portion of the pumping machinery has been entirely obviated. Since our last rep nl, a duplicate of that portion por-tion of the machinery which proved defective, has arrived and boen put in place, and everything in connection connec-tion with the pump works satisfactorily. satisfactor-ily. Sinking in the main shaft was resumed on the 10th with gratifying results. The western levels still continue con-tinue to be developed with a moderate degree ot success, over forty tons of good milling ore being daily raised. Nearly 300 men are employed in various capacities, in and around the mine, and tho excellent system of supervision under which tho work ia being prosecuted is of itself a guarantee guaran-tee of success. If we take this mine as tho exponent of the enterprising determination that has all along marked this district, even the most skeptical must admit that the ultimate ulti-mate success of Pioche as a groat centre sf developed mineral wealth is simply a question of the near future.
