Show WESTERN MINING GAZETTEER. ! I level still holding1 its The ore body on the 300-foown; prospects look well for another continuance of ore. Crosscut in east winze shows well, and as we advance more crosscut shows ore is coining in the face. The 400-levlevel bunches of ore and looks more kindly. The 400-folooks about the same as last report, finding bunches of ore cut across an open fissure, which looks well; face in ore and spar and very strong. Main shaft advancing fast considering the nature of the ground. Sunk last week 7 leet; total, 23 feet. Started Up. Bristol Cos mill dropped stamps on the 25th. The roaster and everything connected with the mill is run ning smoothly. A large assay office and retort room will soon be completed. About 25 tons of ore arc being hauled daily from their mines and this amount can be doubled an Ji time. Day. ot el ot Running. The Hillside Companys furnaces started up last Tuesday and are running nicely. There is quite a large amount of coal and ore on the dump and there is every prospect for a long and continued run. A new cupel furnaae is about to be put up, so that they will have facilities for refining all their bullion. Work will commence upon it Both the mines are looking well and turning out their usual amount of good ore. Sold. Chris. Kastberg has sold his (Iron) mine, located in this district, and the ore is now being reduced at the furnace. It is looking well and turning out five tons of good ore per day. It is very fine smelting ore, carrying from 40 to GO per cent lead. The ore is mostly carbonate with some galena. A good road is already completed from the mine to the furnace, and the different conveniences .about the mine fore handling ore, such as dump and chute are nearly finished. to-morro- w. Galena District. Looking up. The Stiver State is informed that this district is looking up. Two New York companies the Atlas Tlio San Pcdro'aml Canyon del Agua Mining Company. The property embraces 20,000 acres, covered with pinion timber, for the greater part, and including the San Pedro, San Ysidro and Sandia mountains, all known to contain mineral. It is 50 miles from the railroad station at Bernalillo to the village of San Pedro, which has grown up centrally, in relation to the copper and gold veins, and the placers. The copper and gold mines are about a mile from the village, at an elevation of about 8,000 feet, and on the wes; side of Tuerto d mountain. The veins are about 30 feet wide, encased in walls, cropping out laterally for a distance of half a mile, and pitching into the mountain with a dip of 15 degrees. Ore of one strata is composed of carbonates, silicates, and oxides of copper; the other csrries free gold. The vein wTas formerly worked for the gold by the Mexicans, whoso open workings are still visible, as well as the ruins of the old smelters. Some copper assays go as high as 40 per ceiit., ond large bodies of ore are found carrying from 20 to 25 per cent., with gold from a trace to 30 to the ton. The developments, it is 0 have already exposed (by tunnel and drifts) fully tons of ore. The placer mines of the company embrace about 2,000 acres of ground at the foot of the Tuerto group of mountains, and it is said in 1843 as many as 400 men were en- gaged in washing gold on this tract, and a nugget valued at 7,000 was found. This deposit is 70 feet thick, and is dotted with shafts and gravel heaps in all directions. Water is to be brought upon the ground for an extensive hydraulic system from the Sandia mountains. Very extensive plans for development have been conceived, and already nearly 200 men are employed a force that will be increased as rapidly as may be necessary. Boston capital is employed, and the enterprise seems to be in good hands. Tu-ert- o, well-define- esti-mote- d, 20,-00- I and Montrose are extensively' engaged in rhe mining busi- ness. There are about 200 men at work in the district, and old mines, which were qbandoned as worthless, are proving to be very valuable. The new concentrating works, built by the Montrose company, were started up about twro 'weeks ago, and work to perfection. . U . Austin District. Following is taken from the .Reveille: Manhattan. The 950 east drift is being continued in a large formation with bunches of ore in places. The flow of water has decreased somewhat, although it is yet strong. The 1,030 east drift has been started again and is now in very good r - f ore, the ledge being small and very hard. The 1030 drift carries good ore along the bottom of the drift. The 1100 east stope continues in good ere, the ledge not being as large as it was last week. This ore body seems of greater width than it was found in the 1030 level. The 1100 west drift shows some ore, but not enough to open a stope on. The GOO east drift on the Farrel ledge shows no change, the ore being in bunches, but of high grade. In the east drift on the back ledge, the vein is pinched down and carries no ore. The west drift carries a large ledge of low grade ore. The 487 chute station has been completed and they are now cutting out the main station above. The flow of water continues strong, but has decreased considerably. They have now on hand in the several ore houses enough on hand to run the mill for two or more months, and will srart up next week. Yankee Fork District. I IDAHO . Repoutki) Stihkk. The Herald of the 28th loams that a rein of $800 ore lias been struck in the Pilot. pTlie first number of the Western Mining Gazetteer, published at bait Lake City, by Mark. W. Musgrove, is at hand. It is a neatly printed eight page weekly, devoted to the min- ing resources of the Pacific States and Territories. The mineral w'ealth ot these must be made known, and such the Gazetteer claims wvill be its mission. Many years of success and prosperity are wished it in its laudable efforts in that direction.
