Kentuck. — The Kentuck mine, adjoining the Yellow Jacket on the south, 

 and situated between the last-named and the Crown Point, holds about 95 feet 

 of ground, measured on the course of the lode. It has been one of the most suc- 

 cessful and profitable mines on the vein, having paid to the shareholders over 

 $1,100,000 before collecting a dollar of assessments. The company was incor-

 $20,000 to open the mine, and an assessment was called to discharge the debt, 

 but, before it was collected, the prospects of the mine were so encouraging that 

 the call was rescinded and the loan paid from the product obtained. The first 

 ore was produced from the mine in January, 1866, having been struck at a 

 depth of 200 feet from the surface. Its product during the few succeeding 

 months was small, but later in the year a rich body of ore was developed on 

 the 460-foot level, and in September, 1866, the first dividend was paid. The 

 aggregate amount of dividends up to the date of the last report, November, 

 1869, is $1,142,000. The work of the mine suflfered great hindrance by the 

 fire already referred to and the first assessment of $40,000 was subsequently
