STOCKS, BASED upon the reduced yield OF
our mines, yet it is not ut all of II per-
manent nature, aud must of necessity
soon give place to a healthier state of
affairs. The principal cause OF this
depression is in the unfortunate coudi.
ton of the Crown Point, Ken,uck aud
Yellow Jacket mines, cons gurnt upon
the still existing FIRE. NJ nsc Is pro-
duceablc from the Crown Point, aud
comparatively little from the Ksntuck.
The condition Of the Yellow Jacket IS
improving. owing Ia the Increased err
culation of air lately created, but IN
these three mines hundreds nj men are
thrown u Of employment, aud the
production OF ore is absolutely nothing
to what il used to be. Looking ahead
II few months, say four mouths from
now, we fancy we can see u vast i'm
proVement upon present prospects. By
that time good ore will he developed NJ
the two lower levels of the Crown
Point, now being run into the ledge;
more and better ore will he produced
from the Kentuck aud tue Yellow
Jacket will he running u full force OF
hands, taking out plenty of good pay
ore from both the south aud north sec
tons OF the mine, well Supplied with a
plentiful draft of good mir throughout
The mines, too, nj the north end OF the
ledge, where additional bodies ct ore
are being prospected for aud developed,
will then he brought into prominent
notice by reason of their good and "N
tensive productions OF ore. IL is not for
the interest of the controlling powers
to allow these mines to produce much
ore at present. The south drift from
the Imperial will also by that tim. have
developed pay ore in TIL" southern pos
sessions Of that company. The CGoliar-
Potosi and the Hale & Norcross will
both he producing even better than at
present, aud so will the Savage. The
chances are that the Bullioa may de.
yelcpe something by that time; also the
Gould & Curry aud the ophir, The
Sierra Nevada is doing already better
than ever before, and there is every
reason to believe that it will do still
better, as the ore constantly improves
in both quantity and quality. These
and other favorable ideas induce rs 10
have exceedingly good hopes for the
future.
THE LIGHTING OF OUR MISSs.-Very
few people have any sort of definite
idea as TO what il costs to furnish the
necessary light to the miners so husily
delving day and night away down IN
the bowels Of the Comstock ledge. 1t
is always night down there, Tor the
light OF day never penetrates those sub
terranean regions in the slightest de-
gree. Every miner has to have his
candle by hIm-al least Que candle,
aud oftentimes half u dozen burning.
A candle will generally burn about four
hours; thus during the 1wenty-tonr
hours of each day there is al average
OF half u dozen candles to each miner,
aud where there ARE "a large number OF
men employed it is easy 10 realiLs that
the consumption of candles must he
enormous. As an instance. we iind by
the annual report OF the Chollar Potosi
Company just published, that the
"luiN y e uuliue u NN' :" N'N
mine amounted TO 1883 boxes, costing
81, 1877 ~. This of course il indep"nd
ent of any other lights used about the
mine, hosting works or office.
SPLENDID New BolLER.-At the Vel.
low Jacket south works may b" seen u
new boiler recently manufactured by
Moore i Riorden. of the Pioneer Boiler
Works, Gold Hill. II is destined to
take the place of the one now in use,
formerly belonging to the Best x Brlchcr
works; and nearly worn out. Tl<S new
boiler is I6 feet in length by 81 inches
in diameter, aud contains - tuhos 81
inches in diameter. The workmanship
is at least as good rs we ever saw, aud
the material not TO be eNcellcd either III
quality or substantial strength Moore
& Riordeu made all the other hoiiers
now in use by the Yellow Jacket Com
pany, as well us those ut man, other
mining aud milling works. Their work
speaks for itself.
SIDEWALK IMPRoyENENrs.-Thanks to
the suggestions of Chief Downey, the
sidewalks on South C street, Virginia,
are getting in pretty good shape. That
terribly dilapid,ted old sidewalk south
of Prader's iron yard has within 4 few
DAYS NIL beer renewed, and is u credi,
to the PROPERTY holders along its line.
In front Of the store of Ordway Il
Clark u continuation of this excellent
and substantial sidewalk is being laid
to-day-an additional inducement for
people to trade ut Ordway 4 Clark's-
which, by the way, is one of the very
hos, places in the city TO trade Mt.
There are several other sections OF
sidewalk along South q street which
will stand repairing.
To MlLLISERs. - Why don't some
roman or n man, who is thoroughly
acquainted with the millinery aud dress
making business, establish the business

"botches' who can spoil dresses, but
none who know the business and who
can make II dress properly. To 1t woman
with some capital to go into the MILL
merry and dressmaking business a splen-
did opening is ut hand in Gold Hill.
George S,Ockle, nearly opposite the
News office, has Il building to let which
is the very place for a millinery store.
