showed an advancing tendency and an
increased degree of irmness, which still
continues. The prospect for a still bet
ter advance is good, confidence in our
leading mines being even better here
than abroad-quite q significant point
in the way Of "homs Endorsement"
sIERR NEVADA.
The timbering of the drift in the rich
vein Of white ore recently developed so
feet below the car track level is COM
pleted. The main winze is continued,
and drifting from it to open that rich
ledge so feet deeper than the present
workings will be commenced next week.
The huge deposit Of pay ore at the
southwest end of the surface workings,
still keeps up its excellent yield, also
the deposit at the north side of the main
pit /; both of these show q constant in
crease of ore. The high bank above
the southwest body slid down a few
days since, saving considerable in the
way OF blasting, and other expense in
eidental to getting rid of such a pile Of
waste. The second clean up for the
present month is being made to-day,
when the mill will be started mp again
on another half months run.
BELcHER.
The old tunnel from near the Gold
Hill mill to the front ledge Of this mine
10 cleaned out, thoroughly repaired and
nut in complete working order. It cuts
tho ledge l52 feet below the surface,
and a large amount Of good ore is de-
ycloped by it, the extraction Of which
is already commenced, car samples as
saying over $50 per ton on the average.
Explorations in the s5O-foot level, be-
yond the east clay, develope a new body
of quartz making towards the Crown
Point, and probably dipping into 1t.
LADY BRYAN.
The mill is running steadily on orc
from the mine, reducing 1t at the rate
of abou, Is tons per day. A winze Is
feet below the south drift, in the rich
body of ore developed at the south end
shows the same kind of ore, continuing
downward. At the bottom of the main
shaft, liz feet from the surface, q sta
ton is being opened, preparatory to
sinking an incline from that point, in the
east clay wall, in order to prospect the
ledge at q greater depth.
IN~rERIAL-EMPIRE.
The shaft is about cleaned out, and
sinking will be resumed next week,
when drifting will also be resumed in
the south drift at the l,0s0-toot level.
The upper levels Of the old Imperial
give the usual yield. No ore is pro-
duced from the Empire. The annual
meeting of the Empire Company will be
held next Monday at San Francisco.
The assessment Of SIS per share, levied
on the Empire, fell deliuqusntyesserday,
and will be advertised next Thursday.
GOULD 4 CURRY.
Present yield over 60 tons Of ore per
day-quite an increase Of production
assaying about S3s per ton. The yield
is principally from the old north mine.
The Ell Dorado tunnel has been opened
over 500 feet in length, and is in good
repair for that distance. Only ~porphyry
and clay is yet encountered in the pros
pecting drifts north and south, at the
Eth or lower level in the ledge ; good
progress is made in both OF them.
HALE 4 NoRcRoss.
The drift westward at the sixth level,
near the bottom Of the shaft, has pene-
trated about 40 feet, ard has already
cut a rich streak Of ore about q foot
wide living against the east side oil the
east CLAW wall Of the ledge. This same
rich streak was found in the level above.
The mine continues its usual gratifying
Weld from the fourth and hith Levels,
and there is a decrease OF water.
CROWN POINT.
The cross.cut both ways through the
ledoe. at the end Of the south drift,
lO00.foot level, develops porphyry to
the sast and quartz to the west, bearing
a trace of silver ore. The main east
drift at the ], l00.foot level is in 400 feet
from the shaft, the face showing only
porphyry. A winze between the 900
and i,O00-foot levels develops quartz,
with an occasional little spot OF ore.
ALPHA.
The drift north Into this mine from
the l,0s0.fo level Of the Imperial mas
penetrated IS feet, and is progressing
Well. II is on the east side Of the ledge,
and will open the Alpha mine nearly
o feet deeper than the former deepest
vorkines-a depth Of 1000 feet below
the surface Of tho old shaft.
OCCIDENTAL.
The face of the lower tunnel still
shows Improvement, more and more, as
further progress is made into the VEN
matter. It is pretty generally agreed
upou by those who are supposed 10
know, that the main pay streak IS close
At hand. The old mine still keeps up
its regular, satisfactory yield.
coSFIpEScS.
Prsparstions are being made to oper-
ate in this mine once more and develop
the good body Of ore presumed to DIP
into IL from the north Yellow jacket
eOO.foot level. The fifth annual meeting
of the company will be held on Friday,
November IL, at San francisco.
oPHIR.
Owing to trouble from water, ana
other difficulties, little or no progress
was made during the past week in the
main west drift. The water is all out
now however. and interesting develop
ments may be expected next week.
c~HoLLAR.PorosI.
Presen. yield about l25 tons per day
something Of a falling off. Average
assays Sas per ton. The Blue Wing
section is not looking so well as former
". The new hosting works will START
up in about q week.
DASEY.
The old shaft-24ofe feet deep-is being
,unk 200 feet deeper, in order to open
n new level 40 feet below the surface
The rock being favorable, good pro-
pre,s is being made in sinking.
ovxRNAS.
No rich recent Developments, not
v~itbstanding the present extra hign
%s,sva,ion Of the stock. The general
producing aspect Of the niue, however,
ia exceedingly good.
YELLOW JACKET.
Present yield about l6s tons OF ore
mar day, principally from the north
nina An increase in the production
will soon DO noted, owing to increased
facilities.
Nothing new or important in the ore
