LOCAL MINING ITEMS.

During the past week the depression
in | lsOur mining stocks has continued,
and the immediate prospect for any very
extensive rise is not good, although
many predict increased activity and q
general advance during the coming
week. We have no extra new develop.

some, the Hale s Norcross ssd Yellow

ApEGI4 EMPIRE.
Good progress made in sinking and
drifting, aud we hope to report some
thing more encouraging very shortly.
The old upper workings Of the Imperial
continue yielding a small mount OF
ore. The annual meeting Of the Empire
Company was held. on Wednesday after
noon, when the following named gen.
tlemen were elected Trustees for the
ensuing year: Robert Sherwood Pres
;dent), W. G.. Wayman, r. I. Morrow
Vice Prcsident), Joseph Hubash and
john Is. Fegan. George r. Spinoey was
elected Secretary. The sbsf, being
sunk conformity by the two companies
has thus far cost some 500, 600, but ii
il only 10 successful in developing the
body Of ore il is expected TO, the returns
vii! fully justify the outlay, especially
as some of the adjoining claims "a lie
worked through this shaft.

Tho upper ieyels of ths old north
mine still continue yielding large guam
titles Of low grade ore, which, thanks
to the railroad, is now made available,
being run dowa to the mills or Carson
river at 81 so per ton, thus giving en-
ploymsnt to numerous men,. Without
the railroad this ore would all remain
in the ledge, as it would not pay for
,eaming. \ large, very substantial and
convenient dump house, Sc feet long by
l6 wide, has been completed, close TO
the railroad track, so.that quite an eS-
,ensive train of cars can be loaded in n
very few minutes. The other portions
of the mine are yielding as usual, with
no new rich ore Developments.

Explorations at the new sixth or
LOO foot level have been carried TO
within q few fee; OF the Savage south
line, and but little good ore is found
there. The ply ore does not apparently
run into the Savage, and in fac, hardly
to the line. 1t is, however, continuous,
and first.rate as far south rs developed;
doubtless to the sonth line Of the niue,
and into the CboliVr Potosi. y. the

enough of it already developed 10 last
