Local MINING ITEMS.

During the past week there has been
little extra excitement in the mining
stock liue, and no particularly impor'
;aut ore developments made in the
mines except in the Hale Il Norcross,
| Yellow Jacket, Segregated Belcher, DC.
cidental and Savage. Money matters
appear to he reasonably easier, and
good confidence ip stocks generally
manifested.
YELLOW JACKET.
On Thursday last, the first lot of ore
from this mine shipped over tue Virginia
& Truckee Railroad, was sent down to
the Yellow Jacket mill on Carson River.
There were seven car loads Of it, about
sigh. and II half tons to the load, or no.
far from co tons. This was from the 700.
foot level of the old north niue, and
dumped directly into the cars, the rail-
road passing within "A few feet Of the
shaft. 1t is low grade ore, assayinS SIG
or S2S to the ton, and will yield under
the stamps not far from SIT per ton. 1t
is ore which heretofore WAS considered
too poor TO work, aud was accordingly
used to fill up drifts with. The railroad
now affords for the first time n chance
to work this low grade ore probably.
The 900-foot level of the north mine
still continues 10 look and yield we'll,
and the future prospects Of the mine
generally are exceedingly good.
SIERRA EvADA
Lower drift from the winze in about
Is feet. This drift has had to be tim
bered, aud water troubles considerably.
Another drift is now being run to in
tersect it and the vein, from the old
workings of the mine, the main adj;
being tie tunuel A short distance north,
and on a level with the hosting works.
IA those old working, is q vast amount
Of low grade ore which will pay SO or
$40 to the ton, and We believe that
here are bodies and Streaks Of much
better ore to be found among it. 1t is
all white ore, soft, easily mined, and
will before long be brought into sx,en
sive and profitable requi:ition. The
ore deposits in the surface workings are
looking better and more. extensive rs
further developed, aud the mill is run
uiug steadily upon ore from that point,
as usual.
HALE & NoRcRoss.
This famous mine is looking bettar at
The present time than Tor many mouths
past, especially ut the loves. or l 100
foot level recently opened. The body
of ore developing ut that point IS fully
as good as anticipated indeed some OF
it is said to DC richer than ever before
found in the niue. II is 40 feet wide III
places, aud Of as yet unascertained
length, hight or depth. The finding OF
such II huge body of rich ore at that
| depth is of the creates, Importance, tot
| only to that particular mine but Also TO
all on the Comstock, showing h a the
bottom is good yet, and has not dropped
ont by any means. A winze for fenti'
ls,iug purposes is now being sunk to
~connect the 9Th with the 9Th or lower
level. Present daily yield of the nine
about $50 tons.
CONFIDENCE.
!, tho annual meeting OF he Com
pany, held in San Fraucisco on the llth
! instant, the following Trustees were
elected 4. E. Head, r. F. Morrow, W.
S. Head, 5. B. Whipple and W. ". Stet-
son. Subsequently. A. f. Head was
choscn President 2. +. Morrow, Vice
President; r. wssen.r, Secretary ;
Charles Formau, Superintendent, and
BauA Of California, Treasurer.
GROWN POINT.
No ore development; as yet Mt
either the 1000 or tue l,lo0-foot levels.
The LOO has penetrated 500 feet east
from the shaft, and is still running in
vein matter. The upper levels in tue
west ledge contain n large amount oil
low grade ore, which is all ready 10 be
extracted as soon AZ tue railroad com
pany can commence taking it to the
mills on Carson River.
OCCIDENTAL.
The face o! the lower tunnel Is IN
quartz, and the ledge is thought to be
| close a, hand. The rich body of ore
lust developed at the north end Of the
mine, improves both in quality and
quantity u, worked upon. Two or three
more mills could be run on ore from this
mine to very good advantage.
IMrERIAL-EMPIRE.
Shaft l,lSa feet deep. Owing TO hot
mir n, the bottom, sinking is somewha,
retarded. Water troubles but little.
The south and east drifts at the 1850.
foot level are progressing satisfactorily
| The assessment Of $40 per share levied
on the Imperial last Monday aggregates
/ 1000.
cRoLLAR-PoTosT.
Extracting about 1875 tons per day
average assays, S35. The new hosting
works Just completed will start up in
about a week, when after a few neces-
sary repairs to the timbering OF the
shaft, prospecting will be resumed at
the lowest levels.
GOULD & CURRY.
Yielding as usual about 40 tons per
day Of good paying ore from the upper
workings of the niue. Nothing in the
in the way Of ore yet developed in the
drifts either north or south At the sew
eu,h or lowest level.
KENrUcK.
The good yield OF THIS mine Is con-
tinued, and II dividend Of $40 per share
WAS discussed yesterday. The company
holds its annual meeting for the election
OF Trustees rext Wednesday, at San
Francisco.
SEGREGATED BELcHER.
Some very rich ore was found last
night in the north drift of the 50o.foot
level. There is said to be quite little
body Of it, but We are not as yet dehu'
itely informed as to its true extent.
CALEDONIA.
Shaft 100 feet deep. The drift west
ward from the bottom Of it is now in
over 10 feet, with excellent indications
