YELLOW JACKET.
This famous representative mine is
yielding about 200 tons of ore per day,
and gives employment to about 100
men. The ore comes iron, the 500 and
90o-foot levels of the south mine, and
the old Yolo tunnel, near the surface.
Of the north mine. The air in the south
mine is good, although rather warm.
1, will take four or FIVE weeks yet to
complete the repairs to the shaft be-
tween the COO and 7oo-foot levels. This
work, however, 10 not allowed to inter-
fere with the regular working of the
mine. The water in the old north shaft
is slowly decreasing under the active
bailing operations. It is reduced some
GO or 20 feet, but it viii take nearly or
quite o month yet to get it all out, as
there will be o considerable space Of the
ledge northward to be drained. The
present assessment Of $40 per share
becomes delinquent August 18th.
CROWN POINT.
Nothing new or interesting developed
Mt the l,0o0-foot level. No ore comes
from il. Last Thursday night a very
heavy body Of whter was struck at the
l,lO0 foot level, 200 feet east of the
shaft, which continued to increase and
raise in the shaft, despite oil pumping
and bailing efforts to the contrary, until
ii raised above the track floor of the
drift and drove out the workmen. Night
before last it was three feet above the
station, bat yesterday it began to de-
crease, and last nigh; was considerably
reduced. This water is doubtless from
the west wall of the ledge. Some it'll,
work is being done at some Of the
stations above, clearing up, etc., but
this is essentially u non-producing mine,
and better entitled TO an assessment
than others we know Of along the
Comstock, whose stockholders are rs.
sessed on any sort Of reasonable pre-
text.
BELcHER.
Active prospecting development has
been going forward for some months in
this niue, and ut the present time
things look very promising at all points,
especially east of the 337.foot level, |
where several crises" have developed
good bodies of pay ore. Drifts are now
being run to facilitate their extraction.
A winzs connection is about completed
between tho $50 and 730.foot levels, leo
feet in length. This will afford in
creased mining facilities and a good
circulation Of mir. A drift is also about
being commenced, TO run northeasterly
until it connects With the Grown Poiut
90O-fsst level. This will be very -advan-
tageous, in the way of air circulation, to
both mines-especially to the Grown
Point.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Some very promising developments are
being made from the 200-foos level up,
but no heavy bodies of pay ore are yet
encountered. At the meeting Of the

SIERRA NEVADA.
The second cleau-up for the present
month 10 being made to-day, and bids
fair to come fully up to the rich general
average. The huge body of excellent
having ore at the surface increases in
extent as further development pro-
crosses, and the oext months run will
be fully as good as those Of the last
four or FIVE months. The finances OF
too company are in an exceedingly
healthy state, and another dividend may
be looked for before long.
INPERIAL-ENPIRE.
The usual amount OF ore is being
Welded from the upper levels. The
clutch Of one Of the hosting reels broke
last Wednesday, while lowering an
empty tank, which had the effect to sus-
pend the repairs in The shaft, and allow
the water to raise considerably. The
reel will be repaired and the :anks set
to bailing again Tomorrow. 1t will
take about o month louger to complete
the repairs in the shaft.
cHoLLAR-PoTosI.
During the week ending last Friday,
1850 tons were yielded by this excellent
mine, the assays averaging SCI; the
bullion shipment was Sl9,s92. The
mine is looking very we'll Indeed, the
old Blue Wing stope especially, more
ore being in sight now than fos the last
two or three months, and of superior
quality. The mills are all fully sup
plied and running TO their utmost ca
pacity.
GOULD AND
Drifting east through the ledge, from
the seventh station, is progressing ad-
mirably, being now over ten feet from
the shaft, and from which point the
drifting will be at a faster rate. The
old upper workings still continue to
yield about IS tons n day, averaging
about $50, principally from the Last
Chance stope.
KzNTUcK.
Ore Of improved quality is being
yielded from the upper levels. The
opening out Of the lower part Of the
mine, beneath the ere, through the 900
foot level Of the Yellow Jacket mine, is
progressing satisfactorily, aud rich de-
v%elopmcnts may shortly be looked for.

quent August 25sh.
