based upon good developments. This
activity still continues, and increased
disposition to invest is also noticeable.
The Alta says: Money has become
quite abundant during the week, with
more disposition to invest, showing a
greater degree Of confidence engen-
dered by the fall in gold, and the hope
of u speedy restoration in the uniform
ity of the National currency; and also
by greater promise in the States re-
sources. The mines have given decided
indications of renewed value, and the
Drice ofgrain abroad has strengthened.
The amount Of money which has made
its appearance for Investment in min
ing stocks is very considerable, and
those securities have become active at
an important rise in value"
YELLOW JACEET.
Yielding about the same as at u
last report. We are grieved to go back
on that pleasing announcement of ours
10 the effect that no assessment was
going to be levied, Notwithstanding
adverse current reports, and state that
an assessment of s. per share was lev
ied last Wednesday. Our present
statement Is made upon more "reli-
able authority" than the other was,
although that was exceedingly good.
The new ore body ut the l,02O-foot
level is still looking exceedingly we'll.
The drift north from the ], l00Lfoot level
of the Crown Point mine to prospect
this ore body 100 feet deeper, has
reached the south line OF the Yellow
Jacket. There is every reason for be-
lieving that 1t will develop q continu-
alton of the ore body ut that depth.
CROWN POINT.
An extensive station Is being opened
at the l,OOO-foot level for the incline
from the shaft, the sinking Of which
will be commenced within the next
two weeks, to open the l~,2OOLfoOt level
100 feet below the present lowest level
the HOO. The drift north from the
1,l0O-foOt level. having passed through
the Kentuck ground without devel-
oping any ore deposits, has reached the
Yellow Jacket line, and Is still going
ahead satisfactorily. From the upper
levels Of the west ledge about 90 or 20
tons per day of ore are extracted,
which Is worked 1t the Petalnma mill.
An attempt was made u few days ago
to ret at the ore In the east ledge at
the 7O0-foot level, but fire was discov-
cred still burning there, and 1t had to
be closed in and the attempt aban-
doHed.
HESTCCE.
Yielding about so IONS of ore per
day. some Of which comes from the
800 and 900 foot levels In the east
ledge, but the principal supply Is from
the upper levels Of the old west ledge.
The drifts west at that point develop
only hard gray porphyry. The fire
still burning prevents the extraction
of the fine bodies of rich ore known to
exist about the 700-foot level In the
east ledge. The drift north nom the
l.l0O-foot level Of the Crown Point
mine, in passing through the kentuck,
developed considerable barren white
quartz, containing no ore except an
occasional little spot. A cross-cut
from il. eastward, has passed out Of
the quartz Into hard black p~orphyry.
1t is being continued, and may posi-
bly, cut into something good.
OCCIDENTAL.
1t Is now thought that the good ore
strike In the lower tunnel last week is
the main pay ore chimney Of the mine.
The tunnel came into 1t gradually on
the east side, and has followed it along
30 or 10 feet, gradually getting more
and more into It, until now the whole
face of the tunnel Is in 1t. Assays
from it average from 81 to $9j per
ton, and the ore Is Of q better general
character than In the mine above. The
connection with the Wine from the
upper mine will be made within the
next ten DAYS. The old mine contin-
lies its regular good yield.
GOULD h CURRY.
The fine body of ore recently devel'
oped in the old upper workings /
looking even better than anticipated,
causing a still further advance In tht
stock. Assays range from $50 to a
high as $500 to the ton, and the deposl
is how thought to be quite extensive
The new development has been closet
against visitors until to-day. Nothing
new or encouraging found as yet a
the seventh or lowest level, excep
some metal-bearing quartz, clay ant
porphyry, in the northwest DRIFT, as
saying - 80 per ton.
The little six-inch streakSef rich orr
found last week has not been drlftet
upon either way. The main drift
however. has been pushed some II fee
further ahead. developing 4 body o
$40 ore. eight feet thick, lying back o.
the rich Streak. The face is now II
porphyry, with good indications 10
more ore. The water IN the new shat
is reduced to about 10 feet, with \ cor
responding decrease in the old mine
The lower level drifts will probably
be got at again In about 4 month.
~BEL!CnER.
Yielding about 60 tons Of ore Pc
day, all from the upper levels. Ih'
new tunnel is now ready for the trans
mission of ore from the l5O-foot leve
TO the Rhode Island mill. At the 100
foot level the DRIFT south has penetratei
200 feet from the shaft, and Is In GOO

favorable for ore development Oh

tend with, impeding operations mate

Hosting the water from the bottom
of the shaft will be commenced to-day
preparatory to sinking and drifting a
