a.OCAI. MINING ITEMS.
The mining stock market is in q
q%uieScent state and has been for q
week, with 4 present prospect of at
least 4 weeks continuance in the same
way, unless the good developments in
the Yellow Jacket and Hale IL Nor
cross mines should exercise Il recupcr-
ating or reviving influence. Money
matters appear easy enough, and Il
satisfactory desire for Investment in
stocks is apparent from the extensive
sales reported. The mines generally
are looking we'll.
YELLOW JACKET.
The horse ut the 900-foot level turns
out to be far less extensive than was at
first feared: The DRIFT north at the
track floor has passed entirely through
it. showing it to be 20 feet thick, and
is now in good ore again on the north
side. This ore Is not so rich Is it was
on the south Of the horse, but it shows
better indications Of beings permanent
and extensive body. This horse, which
is of hard solid porphyry, is found to
extend upward four floors, when 1t
gives out entirely, the ore extending
over and beyond it. From this it will
be seen that the 900-foot level is all
right once more. The l,020-foot level
yields tirst-rate, as usual, showing no
change. The drift north from the
l,l00-foot level Of the Crown Point
mine has progressed slowly Of late,
and is now about SIS feet north Of the
Yellow Jacket south line. \ contract
was let yesterday to run it an addi-
tional 100 feet north, which will bring
it beneath the good body Of ore in the
level above. The daily yield Of the
mine is increased to $50 tons, what it
was W weeks ago before that infer
nal horse intruded at the 90O-foot level:
Two hundred tons of this ore IS OF
good grade from the lower levels, and
the balance is low grade from the up
per levels.
HALE & SoRCRoss.
Daily yield LIS tons, o%ne-fourth OF
which is from the new seventh level,
one-half from the sixth level and the
balance from the l75-foot, the 3OO-foot
and other orc-producins levels. The
mine is looking and promising extra
we'll at present. especially at the low
est or seventh level, l,Os2 feet from
the surface. At this point the north
drift is In now nearly 100 feet from the
shaft, in fine pay ore all the way. IL
will connect with the winze from the
level above this evening or tomorrow
morning. The Wine IS about 100 feet
deep, following the dip Of the ledge,
and in good ore all the way. From
the north drift the croSs-cut east Is Ill
about so feet, and north of this cross
cut and east from the north drift 4
huge chamber Is mined out, % feet Ill
length by Il feet in width, and II feet
high. The north and east drifts form
4 S3ortion Of this chamber, and all the
ore taken from this space, or still
being mined out, is Of a very superior
Iu,lity, The full extent of this SPLEEN
did ore deposit is known little or
nothing of ut present. \ divideiu
of 81 80 is declared, payable next
Tuesday.
CHoLLAR-PoTosI.
Daily yield 145 tons. The ore-pro,
Jucinc sections are all looking and
Welding we'll, especially the old Blue
Wing, at the south portion, where IN
extra good and apparently extensive
body Of ore is developed. The bullion
Weld for the last month has beeh
unusually good, and promises to be
fully as good for at least u month 10
come. The regular monthly dividend
OF 81 Der share is declared, payable
next tuesday. The dumps are all
full, the mills we'll supplied, and the
prospects Of the company are Ill a
decidedly prosperous state.
OrHIR.
The ledge is not yet reached in the
lower drifts, although it will be by the
northwest drift very shortly. The
south shaft in the surface workings

ore per day, from about the l50-foot
level. The 100-foot level from the
south shaft in the old Moscow ground.
has penetrated n body OF ore which
prospects very well, but it is so filled
with base metal that it will not be
worked ut present, but left for future
reference. An assessment of So per
share was levied yesterday.
. KESTUCK.
Yielding about so tons per day OF
fair grade ore, principally from the
INNER levels 10 or 20 tons of it. how
eyer. are taken from between the 500
and sOO-foot levels, through the Crown
Point mine. Only the Pioneer mill Is
being run on ore from this mine: The
ore does not extend below the gCo-toot
level: at least none Is developed below
there as vet. The upper levels hcid
ont we'll and the mine Is paying its
way. The chauce for dividends, how
ever, is not good at present.
