SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. %, 1866.
The mining share market has exniolteo
considerable animation since Saturday last
and nearly all stocks are in better request
ut enhanced rates. In some instances q
material improvement took place, impart-
ing new life and activity to the Board, and
reviving the former faith of many dealers
in the future value of different claims on
the Comstock.
Gould s. Curry rose from $500 to.
SS971, receded to $3.50, advanced to
$3.50, and closed at 5000 asked. The an
nual exhibit of the affairs Of this company
is regarded with favor by most of the
stockholders. There have been taken
from the mine the past year 47,2l7 tons OF
ore, at an expense for mining Of $40 "a
per ton, divided as follows: First class,
Ii tons; second class, 472 tons, and third
class, 1927 tons.
The Superintendent estimates the reserves
of ore on the adit level to the north Of tho
old chamber at 5000 tons; in the east
chamber, including all the upper portions
Us far north as D street level, at $4,000
tons; in the north mine, to A street level,
at 10000 tons, and above the A street
level ct 1000 tons-in all 10000 tons,
worth from 1856 to $50 per ton, or an
average of about S42. These estimates
do not embrace the ore bearing scans
known to exist near the south end OF the
mine. None of the explorations below
the lower tunnel in the I'd and 4th stations
have developed a body Of ore, nor was this
TO be expected. It is known that in the
lower levels the center of the claimi Is filled
by a large mass of porphyry, and it is only
to the north and south of this that ore
bearing quartz can be found. It is be-
lieved that the porphyry will be but Of
moderate width on the fourth station and
that it will disappear on those still deeper.
The drift to the north and south, now
being run from the second station, will
soon be out Of this mass of porphyry, and
ore may be discovered at any moment.
This company is now entirely out Of debt,
and the cash value of the timber, wood,
| quicksilver, and other materials now on
hand and paid for, exceeds $250,OO0. No
further disbursements of any moment will
be required for supplies until Monday
next. During the ensuing five months,
| therefore. the current expenses of the COM
pany will be $4,000 less per month than
they otherwise would be If these necessary
supplies to the mine and mill were to be
bought and paid for as required. The re-
ceipts of bullion during the first fourteen
DAYS of December from the company's
mill alone amounted to $50, 900, and the
aggregate expenses of the mine and mill
will, it is thought, not exceed for the
present $4,000 per month.
Savage has attracted considerable atten-
ton this week, and it is in better request,
some 200 feet changing hands, advancing
from S720 to !. 040, receding to $50, rally
ing to 900, dropping to 800, seller 80, and
selling yesterday at $4,000. Receipts
of bullion thus far during the month
amounted to 1925, 900. The Pluto and
Santiago mills are reducing some 60 tons
of ore per day from the lower level of this
mine, yielding S75@85 per ton ; and from
the upper works about 80 tons daily are
being taken, which yield SOL to $50 per
ton. .....
Yellow Jacket has been active at better
prices, and 100 feet were sold, advancing
from 1856 to AGO, and dealt IN yesterday at
440@450. The northeast breast Of ore on
the $50 feet level show some Improvement,
and q prospecting shaft sunk at that point
is now down 20 feet in good ore. During
the week ending December llth, 748 tons
of ore were extracted, and 677 ton were
reduced, yielding $2o,7l4 65, AN average
of $50 IS per tom. At the company's
mill 44J ons were worked.
Crown Point is in more favor, and some
so feet were sold, receding from 1896 to
40, advancing to 6l0, then selling at 500,
and closing yesterday at 1856. During the
week ending December 10th, 279 tons OF
ore were raised from the $50 to 300 feet
levels, and the different ~inclines from the
former now connect with the latter level.
The main drift from the 200 feet level has
been driven 10 feet from the east stratum,
and will, it is thought, soon reach the
west body of ore found above.
Ophir advanced from 1886 to 800,
dropped to $50, advanced to 1886, and sold
Yesterday at $50. A detailed statement
of the operations of this company will be

Chollar Potosi is in better request, and
nearly 700 feet changed hands, rising from
Sll5 to l45, and selling yesterday at 1872
@l50. The cross cut in the drift on the
south end of the Bajazet chimney, dis
closes a body of ore 80 feet wide. In the
old works between the third and fourth
stations of the Chollar, n stream of ore
four feet wide has been found, a portion
of which yields S300@400 per ton, and
the balance $4o@50. During the week
ending December 18th, 300 tons of ore
were sent to custom mills, 23l o n were
sold at So, and 1873 tons at So. Some
lat tons first class ore also was sent to

and the liabilities of the company on the

bursements for the year amounted to

the lat instant, shipments Of bullion have
