Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1864-12-08

In financial and stock circles, and transac-
tons have been unusually light. The storm!
throughout the interior have interrupted
communication, preventing the regular re-
ceipt of advices, and delaying shipments Of
treasure to this city. Telegraphic communi-
cation has also been suspended with Nevada,
and we are without our usual information
from number of mines. .s.t.
Receipts of treasure from the country since
Saturday last have amounted to less than
100000. The supply Of bullion was, how.
ever, ample yesterday for shipping purposes,
and gold bars we're ruling at about 84Og65O.
Silver commanded about per cent. premium
for bars Of fair degree Of fneness. Ordl-
nary parcels ranged at per cent. premium to
per cent. discount. ...
The money market presents no new feature,
and rates are ruling at l992 per cent. per
month in bank Capital is abundant, and is
likely to continue so during the winter. Our
exports of treasure since January list have
amounted to some S53, 000, 900, and are $lO,..
000, 900 in excess Of q corresponding period
last year.
Leading stocks have been moderately dealt
in, but are we'll maintained. Little or no
speculation is apparent; but we do not OBJ
serve, on the other hand, much disposition to
sell ut present quotations. Most holders
seem to have faith in the future yield Of
prominent claims. and evince no anxiety to
part with their stock. Speculative shares
have been subjected to the usual fluctuations,
but were rather less active.
City stocks, with scarce an exception, seem
to be in better request. California Steam
Navigation Co., is enquired for at IS per cent.
$3.50 per share). Spring Valley Water Co:
is held at 20 per cent. on amount paid IN
(equal to $275per share), and State Telegraph
is offered at $40 per snare. State, city and
county bonds are, for the most part, held
with frmness, at advanced rates.
Legal Tender Notes have been sold to the
extent of $57 800, within a range Of Acc, s. 80,
to Acc, asked. The latest telegraphic adviccs
from the East quote gold in New York at
about 222 on the 2Sth inst.
Savage continues inactive and 10 feet were
sold at from $500 to 81, $50, buyer 30. A
dividend of $75 per foot, it is expected, will
be declared to-day, for the month Of Novem-
Der, leaving a surplus in the treasury OF the
Gould & Curry opened at $3.50. rose to
81 ,6lO, buyer 10, receded to 81 ,5S5, and
closed at $1,000, 81 feet changing hands
within this range. The company's receipts
of bullion the past month averaged So,OOO
per day, making an aggregate of some S4o,-
900. A large quantity Of fair ore has been
accumulated at the mill, and the daily yield
OF the mine during the month OF November
exceeded, it is said, $50 tons, in addition to
which about $50 tons, worth Sl50 to 500 per
ton, were sent to Dall's mill. The treatment
of ores at the company's mill is now very
satisfactory, and is less expensive than for
merly. At this writing, nothing definite has
been determined upon as to the dividend for
the past month.
Chollar has been dull and small sales were
made, advancing to 81 ,060, buyer 80, receding
to Sl,O25, and held yesterday at about 81 $50.
The hosting apparatus Of the company is in
successful operation, and from loo to l7O
tons of ore is daily being brought to the sur
face. Additional mills have been employed,
and the net revenue is now applied to the
dividend account. A dividend of $50 per
foot is confidently anticipated for the month
of November.
Yellow Jacket is in rather less favor, and
Sc feet were sold, opening at 1895, reeeding
to $3.50, seller 60, rallying to 5000, seller 80,
selling yesterday morning at $3.50 cash and
$3.50 seller 60. We have 10 direct intellI-
gencc from this claim this week. but learn
that it is looking very well. A number Of
mills are at work crushing ore for the COM
puny, and considerable shipments Of bullion
were made last month.
Potosi is much weaker; sales were made
at the close at $7lO@725, buyer 10 days.
Belcher is held at about $500. This COM
pany are now extracting ore and anticipates
no further difficulty with water in the lower
drifts.
Empire Mill & Mining Co. was sold at
S525 per share, and was offered yesterday at
$3.50. The receipts of bullion for November
have been up to the usual average Of the past
few months, and dividend Of $25 per share
will probably be declared to-day.

yesterday. Nineteen feet changed hands.

declining rates. Thirty six feet we're sold,
receding from 5000 to $40, rallying to $3.50

of the company are shrouded in such mys'
terry that little or no information can be OBJ
tanned from official sources. We are told thai
efforts are being made to depress the stock

UTILITY OF THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.-The
Courier de Bretagne gives an interesting &C
count of recent experiments with the electric
lights, at Lorient, France. The night was
dark, many spectators assembled, in addition
to the engineers and officers comprising a
commission appointed especially by the mar
