The stock market continues in a de-
bili,ated condition, with ANAL present
show for improvement. The Alta says /:
"Ths bear party have it all their own
way, and, as usual Mt such time; the
"freezing out" system is in vogue with
those who think they have a good thing.
Stopping works, making repairs, i'm
crea,iug expenses and decreasing pro-
fits, promoting assessments, p%ostponing
dividends and ~paralyzing production are
in fayor. By this process the stock.
slowly concentrate into strong haads.'
The Hale L Norc-oss is the only mine
which shous any particular improve
msnt. Ali the others simply 60 on IN
the ordinary curse Of working or de-
velopment, and have nc extra new
strikes of pay ore to report.
~sEGREoArEp BELcHEI
Looking we'll throughout, and yield
lug about 40 tons OF ore per day, prin-
cipally from the 400 and 0 0.foot levels.
There arc about 800 ,ors Of ore on the
damp, of a fne quality, which will mill
not far from S35 to the ton. From the
230.foot level up to the surface is an
immense body Of lower grade ore, ex-
tending the whole length OF tho claim,
which will be made available before
long. The prospects Of the mine we're
never better; i, is under good manage
ment.
YELLOW JACKET.
South mine yielding about $50 tons
Of good pay ore daily, and from the old
north mine about Ito tons of low grade
ore are shipped dali, per railroad to
mills on Carson river. No new deve!-
opments. The upper portion Of the
north shaft 10 being retimbered. This
will be completed in about a week, when
a working incline will be started to con-
nee, With the south mine. The present
assessment becomes delinquent to.mor-
row..
DECIDE rAL.
The winze from tbs car-track level is
row down to o level with the lower
tunnel, and in excellent pay ore all the
way. The tunnel will have 70 be run
about 100 feet further before IL will in
,ersec: with the winzs, when q good
and much needed circulation Of air will
be established. The old mine continues
to yield excsllently, aud there 10 ore
enough accumulated at the mill to run
j. for two months.
ALPHA.
The drift from the l,l00.foot level oil
the Imperial mius ha, penetrated about
10 feet north and some 40 feet into the
Alpha. The air, however, is so hot that
il 10 almost impossible 10 proceed far
Their, therefore il is the object now to
make a connection rs soon rs possible
with the old Alpha incline. This con-
nection will be l6l feet in length, and
when made will give fine circulation
Of air.
HALE 1 ]NoRcRoss.
About 1875 tons per day being eI-
tractsd. The winze~ connection between
the two loves. levels is completed and
gives a free circulation OF air, which
was much needed. All the latest drift
and winze developments Mt the lowest
level show an increa Sc Of ore, ali of very
excellent quality, especially at the
southern portion.
SIERRA NEVADA.
. The new machinery Of tue mill has
not yet got to working perfectly salts
factory, but il will be all right next
week. The mine was nere. looking
g.. better than at present. Quite an extern
sivs deposit Of rich gravel has recently
been developed at tho east end OF the
surface workings.
VIRGINIA CONSOLIDATED.
New shaft 496 feet deep this morning.
Four feet deeper completes the present
contract Of Ross & Co. II they work
tomorrow .hey will complete il. The
company lave aot decided whether to
SIM; deeper or SommensH drifting vest
toward the ledge.
iMPERiAL-ENPIRS.
Sinking and drifting satisfactorily
progressing. A small vein of pay ore
was developed by the drift from the
l,lOO.foot level toward thu Alpha,
which yielded quite a little pile Of ore,
which can be seen in front Of the hoist
ing works.
BELcHER.
Prospecting at the lover levels is dis
continued for the present, aud the
whole miniag forcsis being concentrated
upon The development and extraction OF
the COOS and extensive body OF ore DO.
ing opened out at the l52-foot level.
uouLp : CURRY.
Work 10 RECOMMENDED, prospecting at
the loves: levels. The old upper WORK
inCs yield about GO tons Of ore per day,
assays averaging S32 per ton,
cHoLLAR-PorosI.
Yielding about $50 tons OF ore per
day, assays averaging Sil par ton. No
new developments.
