LOCAL MINING ITEMS.

are decidedly sick at the present time,
having experienced considerable Of a
break during the past week. The pros
poets for an improvement are not first
rate at the close, yet there is hope.
The AHa says in regard to finances:
Money continues in good supply.
and the demand is pretty active for
general business purposes, without,
however. much change in rates, which
are 19lts at bank. There is more dis
position to realize OH produce recently,
and that aids in increasing the supply
Of money, since the crops are the great
medium Of all payments. There has
been a very limited demand for money
for remittance this week. The treasure
shipments have been unusually small,
being less than the imports, while the
receipts OF bullion from the interior
are very considerable. The month
will turn out \ good months work."
AS to the appearance of the mines,
there is very little change to note
since our last report. They are look
ing fully as well, generally speaking,
with perhaps n or two exceptions.
The present decline in prices is due
more to a bearing movement among
the stock manipulators at the Bay than
from any extra discouragins feature in
the general appearance or production
Of the mines.
YELLOW JACKET.
Daily yield about 300 tons, showing
somewhat Of n falling of since Il last
report. The excellent body Of ore at
the 9OO-foot level has not been looking
so we'll for a week past, owing to an
extensive "horse" of porphyry being
encountered. This ore body was
breasted out three sets Of timbers in
width, and to the extent Of so feet
north, when this horse suddenly made
its appearance, cutting directly across
and etiactually stopping further ore
production at that particular point.
A drift has been run into 1t l6 feet
further north, without getting through
1t, although last evening the face of
the drift was looking more favorable;
to-day, however, 1t is not. This horse
appears only on the track floor as yet,
and Is not yet found at the next floor
above nor any other, the deposit being
raised upon six floors above the track
floor. II it 10 found to be confined to
the track floor it will not prove so very
much Of a detriment, after all. The
d~enreciation in the stock is due o
10 the San Francisco bears than to this
horse. The l,O20-foot level still con-
tinues yielding the same as before, and
the other reproducing sections also
show mo change for the worse. The
drift north at the 1,1OO-foot level from
the Crown Point is now in about 50
feet beyond the south line Of the Vel
low Jacket, and the face is in promis-
ing looking quartz.
HALE 8 NoRcRoss.
Daily yield $50 tons, the principal
supply being from the sixth level.
The i75-foot level and some Of the
other old reproducing sections con-
tinue to contribute a fair quota to the
regular yield, and the assays show
rather of an improvement in the gem
eral character Of the ore. The seventh
or lowest level, 1,1S5 feet below the
surface of the new shaft, although but
recently opened, already gives n yield
Of about 60 tons per day, the drifts
both north and east from the shaft
being in excellent ORE. The north
drift Is in 80 feet, and the east drift 20
feet from the shaft. The ore is con-
siderably harder at this level, thus far,
than in the level above. The Wine
from the sixth level, 100 feet north Of
the shaft, is now down 20 feet, and Is
feet deeper will carry it to the new
seventh level. The general appear
ance of the mine is very good and
encouraging.
VIRGINIA CONSOLIDATED.
The DRIFT west at the 50O-foot level
il now in 300 feet from the shaft. The
rock works favorably and good daily
Progress is made. Some very good ore
was developed in the upper workings
Of this mine last Tuesday, about 200
feet from the surface, aud OIL the line
FORMERLY separating the Dick Sides
rom the White & Murphy ground. 1t
lies next 10 llle cast wan VI tuC IcuSc,
and is some five feet in thickness.
ASSAYS from it range above $500 to the
TON. and considerable Of 1t is being
sacked up and taken out through the
old Dick Sides tunnel for shipment to
mill. The extent ofthis new develop
ment ia unknown as yet, but 1t GER
tainIy is an encouraging and hopeful
feature.
ovERMAS.
Welding $50 tons daily. In the old
Mary Ann chimney, at the 226-foot
Level. some very good ore Is found, and
the general yield Of the mine shows
Involvement in both quantity and
quality. The lower levels are still in
n nuiescent state, no prospecting being
done there, and the bullion Is all pro-
duced from the ore of the upper levels.
HOPE.
This excellent mine, formerly known
~ the Twin, at Silver City. Is looking
and Welding exceedingly well at the
present time. The new mill OF the
rompany, at Silver, is completed, n
