ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES
i.OCAI. MINING ITEMS

Mining stocks during the past week
have declined somewhat, and there are
little Indications of amy material rise
at the present. Money does not APP
pear to be anyways scarce, and the
weeks sales of stocks has been about
up to the average. As to the mines,
they are looking generally rather bet
ter than usual ut the present time, and
a rise of stocks during the coming
week will be upon q substantial basis.
HALE 4 NoRCKosS.
Daily yield, 100 tons the principal
supply being nov from the 9TH OF
lowest level, recently opened. At this
point the body of ore Is the best ever
yet found in the mine, being not only
of high grade but of great extent. 1t
bursts out about 80 feet in width and
is worked thus far, to the extent Of 100
feet north OF the shaft where the winze
from the level above, completed last
Saturday night intcrsects, and gives
4 good draft of air throughout that por-
ton of the mine. The winZe is l20
feet in length, following the dip Of the
ledge, aud Is In splendid ore all the
way. Some bunche. of very high grade
black sulphuret ore were found in
sinking this winZe, which was sacked
up by itself. About half way down
the winze, especially, 4 very rich spot
was found. and ut this point = drift
west is being made, which is o in
ten or twelve feet without striking the
west wall. From the seventh level
this fine ore body is raised upon ut
one point to the hight of one floor
above the al track. Cross-cuts oppo-
site the shaft and 4 little farther north,
show the ore body to continue to the
east clay wall of the lode, which at
that point is very clearly defined, and
holding its regular established dip or
inclination east, of 10 degrees. How
far north or south this splendid ore
body extends. l. only known as yet to
the extent Observation-Disclosures. It
is known to extend up to the sixth level,
level, and how far the present lowest
depth can only be ascertaiued by future
sinking operations. So much does the
water decrease as depth is attained,
that this lowest level, l,lS2 feet from
the surface it is kept perfectly drained
by running the pump two hours out
OF twcnty-four. No Sutro tunnel is
evidently required there, either for
drainage or ventilation. The finding
of such an extensive and valuable body
of ore ut that depth iSa very important
and highly significant item IN the
present and future prospects OF the
Comstock lode. extremely encouraging
to all mine owner.
OCCIDENTAL.
Nothing new to report. The lower
tunnel Ia still being vigorously driven
ahead in order to connect rs soon as
nossible with the winze from the upper
mine. This will take three or four
weeks vet. When this connection Is
completed there will be a good draft
of air. which Is much needed at pres
emf. and then prosecuting in the vein
will be resumed. The grading and
foundation work for the new mill, a
sbort distance below the mouth of the
tunnel, is progressing f~avorably.
CROWN POINT.
'rbe incline from the l,000-foot sta
tion of the shaft il 81 feet deep to-day,
INT the rock met with is hard porphyry
and ouartz, therefore rather slower
nroyress Is made sinking. There is no
water to interfere. The daily yield is
obout 65 N all from the upper
levels. A new dump is just completed
by the side Of the lower Gold Iiii
branch of the railroad. and next weeK
they expect to commence shipping ore
10 the mills OH Carson River.
GOULD & CURRY.
Yielding about 20 tons daily OF good
Grade ore from the old mine. The
various prospecting drifts at the sev-
enth or lowest level look promising
but develop no good ore deposits as
yet. The bullion receipts from the
mine for April footed up to SlS,I2l so.
&C. Batterman entered upon his duties
as Superintendent Of this mine last
evening, in place of z. Deidesheimer,
resigned.
SIERRA NEVADA.
This mine is about the most regular
in its yield of any OH the ComStock.
The surface deposits seem inexhaust-
ible. especially the eastern one, which
supplies the mill at present. The o II

level, was not ut first thought to be of

HOPE.
Daily Weld 80 tons, all Of which is
worked at the two mills of the COM
many. The lower level continues look
Inc better and better rs developed. and
The general yield of the ore from the
mine is over $50 per ton on the
average.
An Improvement is manifest in the
character and yield of the ore during
The past week, in the o~re-producing
sections of both upper and lower
Ieyels. The daily yield Is about 90

mill.
