MINING ITEMS.


LOCAL MINING ITEMS.
Continued activity in mining stocks
has prevailed during the week, with
heavy sales. Prices are generally firm
at the close, but in some few instances
n declining tendency Is observable. In
some cases the market rate quoted L
fully up to the real value, while il
others, the Yellow Jacket, for instance,
the price is below the actual merits o.
the mine. We have no new develop.
ments in the way of good pay ore tt
record this week. The best bodies
opened in the lowest depth Of the Com.
stock mines are those in the lower
levels of the yellow Jacket and Hale
i NorGoss. The best outside mine
is the Occidental, which shows at pres
eut An immense body Of good pay ore,
extending to the lowest level yet at
tanned, and how much deeper, "no
mar knoweth."

The lower drifts at the 7o0-foot leyel
are easily kept free Of water now. In
the southwest drift at that level, drift.

This drift was but little injured by

branch off to the right with a drift, and
not bother with the caved portion,
This northwest DRIFT is now in IS feet,
and has about IS feet further to run in
order to be even with the end of the
original drift before It was submerged
and caved. The old upper workings
Of the mine are yielding considerable
quantities Of good milling ore. The
old drifts and chambers were in the
early workings of the mine, filled in
with what WIS then considered low
grade ore, but this is found to assay
exceedingly well; therefore 1t is now
being extracted, and, If it mills as we'll
rs it promises, it will prove o valuable
source e revenue. Some very good
bodies of low grade ore are also devel-
oped, besides some Of fair grade.
GOULD & CURRY.

average assays, $54 per ton. The Po-
tosi section continues yielding very
we'll, with promise Of even still better
yield as prospecting is extended:
Some very high grade ore, estimated
to be worth over $500 per ton Is
found ut this point three or four tons
OF il being sacked up daily and sent to
mill at Reno for treatment. The
lower grade Of ore is passed out
through the old Ell Dorado tunnel
The other ore producing sections show
no particular change since u last re-
port, and nothing new or encouraging
Is developed in the prospecting drifts

heimer has just been appointed Super
intendent and entered upon the dis

HALE & NoRcRosS.
The new seventh station, LIS feet
below the surface, is now completed,
and drifting east through the vein COM

already in good ore. From the sixth
level, So feet above, the Wine being
sunk 100 feet north Of the shaft Is G2
feet deep and in good ore all the way.
1t touches neither wall, therefore the
extent of the ore body below the sixth
Level is at present not definitely known.
The daily yield Of the mine Is no tons,
principally from the sixth level, and
within 100 feet Of the shaft on both
sides but the greater portion is from
the south side. The old portion Of the
mine Yields about 20 tons . day, and
the ore breasts generally are looking
very well, promising an wen better
yield in the future.
OCCIDENTAL.
The regular pay orc vein In the
crosscut from the lower tunnel Is
found to be at least 20 feet wide, and
the ore is Of excellent quality. The
cd mine Is yielding at its usual regu-
lar good, unfailng rate. The MOST
sensational development occurring of
late, connected with this company, is
the assessment Of &c per share, levied
last Tuesday, aggregating $50, 900.
This Is the first assessment ever levied
on the capital stock Of this company,
and the object of it now is to build a
large mill at the mouth of the lower
tunnel, from which runs n fine streaNi
of water sufficient for the boilers And
other usual purposes. =
YELLOW JACKET. :
The new and excellent body Of ore
Mt the 0OOfoot level is looking better
as further developed. Both that and
tfte n at the l,020-foot level are yield
ing largely. The drift north at the
I.i00-foot level, from the Crown Point,
Is non IN about IS feet beyond the
south line Of the Yellow Jacket, ant

above. and which it will doubtless IN

a very favorable character. The daily
Weld of the mine Is about $50 tons, o
which $50 is low grade ore from thu
upper levels.
