c MINING ITEMS.

Vaua, Opniri OVernian anu one " wv
others. This was owing to new and
promising developments, and the pros
poets are good for a still further general
advance during the present week. Money
is getting easier and a better degree Of
confidence in our mines induces freer
investments.
CROWN POINT.
The east wall Of the ledge vas cut by
the east drift at the l,l00-foet level,
about 400 feet from the shaft, no good
ore being encountered in passing
through the ledge. A branch drii,
south 100 feet from the l,o0o.foot level,
also developed no ore, and ending in
black porphyry, with clay seams, it has
been discontinued, and cross cuts both
east and ives. are now being made from
the end of it. The number Of men
working in this mine is considerably re-
duced at present. A large amount OF
ore is being taken out Of the s00-fost
level Of the Kentuck through this mine.
An assessment Of 81 so per share was
levied on the 18th instant, aggregating
$50 900, delinquent November Goth.
The last assessment levied, August 9th,
amounted to 100000.
SIERRA NEVADA.
The stock in this mine experienced a
sudden and quite extensive rise during
the past week, based upon rich ore de-
velopments in the white ledge, so feet
below the ear track level. 1t is tho
same ledge mentioned BY US in our last
weekly report. II is nearly or quite
eight feet wide, and car samples assay
over $3.50 per ton. The surface work.
ing. are also yielding well. A clean up
was made last Saturday, giving rather
better than an average yield, and the
mill is pounding away on another half
months run. The receipts for Septem-
Der were Sl2, 4Oo, a decline Of $500 from
August.
The main west drift, at the distance
Of 600 feet from the 700-foot level Of the
shaft, penetrated soft porphyry aad
clay and tapped quite a large stream of
water last Friday night. This had the
effect to drive out the workmen until
Yesterday morning, when the pump get
ting the best Of the water the men went
to work again. The face Of the DRIFT is
thought to be in the outskirts of the
ledge, and interesting developments
may be looked for very shortly. The
southwest branch drift is in $50 feet and
shows no particular change.
HALE A SoRcRoSs.
The fourth and fifth levels being con-
nected, ore 10 extracted therefrom with
increased facility. About lis tons per
day is the present yield. A drift is be-
ing run north from the 500-foot level,
to connect with the Savage for a better
ventilation. The body OF ore between
the fourth and eth levels is nearly 20
feet long, and shows exceeding well in
the breasts. Good progress is being
made sinking the main shaft deeper,
and also in opening the l, lOo-foot sta
ton.
This mine is looking and yielding
better, the receipts fer September being
Sil 1900, an increase Of $4,000 over
August. The Enterprise Of yesterday
says: Pretty fair progress is being
made in sinking the main shaft for q
new level, which will be- opened 1850
feet below the surface. The rock en-
countered is very hard. Drifting north
and south on the ledge is still being
carried OF. They are taking out from
60 to so tons of ore per day.
fellow JACKET.
Still yielding about l60 tons per day
principally from the 9O0-foot level OF the
north min., all Of which is taken out
through tho sonth shaft. When the
railroad is completed, the cars will psss
within thirty feet Of the north shaft, and
by that time full preparations will be
completed for taking out ore through
that shaft, for shipment to mills on the
Carson.
ovsRMAS.
The body of ore recently developed at
the 30o.foot level still looks and prom
isss we'll, average assays from it yield
ing over SEQ per ton. That at the 400
foot level also show, an improvement
both in'quanti,y'nnd quality. The winze
connection between the 500 and 400
foot levels gives q free and excellent
circulation Of air.
GOULD & CURRY.
The drifts at the seventh level are still
in porphyry, with occasional clay seams.
The upper workings yield about 80 tons
of $40 ore per day, principally from the
old north mine. The Last Chance stope
shows improvement, and a shute ITO
feet in length above the second level is
thoroughly timbered and just brought
into use.
BELcnER.
We hear il whispered that good de-
yelopmenA are recently made in this
mine, especially in the drift north to
connect with the 900-foot level Of the
Crown Point. The old tunnel from near
the Gold Hill mill is being cleaned out
and pu. in order to extract ore from the
front ledge.
OCCIDENTAL.
The face Of the lower tunnel is still
in vein matter, aud occasional streaks
Of quartz are encountered, which assay
very well, but the main pay streak Is
not yet penetrated. The old mine is
giving a very satisfactory regular yield,
and the company is prosperous, as usual.
HOLLAR-POTOS
About $50 tons is the present daily
Weld. The old Bluo Wing shows better
ore, car samples giving m average as
say Of S4S per ton. The other produc-
ing portions Of the mine are looking and
yielding well.
HgSTUCK.
The yield from the soo-foot level i'm
proves both in quantity and quality
Five mills are kept steadily running on
ore from this mine, the financial condi'
ton of the company is healthy, and
dividend may be looked for before long

The most important Development in
this mine at present is the assessment
