The production of the mines there no-n.in-eludiuir the iron ore that is shipped, is close, to 175 tons a day. The greater part of this output come? from the small properties, those which are only working a few men on lesse or otherwise, aad which make irregular irregu-lar shipments. But the number of sr.ch properties is large. A lot of ore from the South Swansea was marketed last week, the firit-elass going over .100 ounces" b the ton, and the remainder re-mainder grading down to only a little less than 100 ounces.

Some of the employes of the Mammoth company com-pany declare the mine has not looked better any time in the past year than it does at present. In some of the stopes the same kind of hora silver ore is found as that which was produced about eighteen months ago and which created great excitement. From the Red Rose nothing but the most flattering reports are received, and though tiie ore may be pockety, everybody has confidence con-fidence that it will some time open into a big bonanza. A number of men are working on the Tin-tie Tin-tie Iron mine and the shipments from it are nearly 1(H) tons a day.
