sudden jump Of the Gould s. Curry,
from about $50 or $50 per share, to
1856. This vas partly speculative.
and partly based upon new and extra
good ore developments, and 1t is
on the decline again at present.
Stocks generally continue rather de-
pressed, with no present prospect Of a
lively revival.
GOULD 3 CURRY.
The cause Of the recent very sudden
and precipitous rise in the stock Of this
company was the development Of a
very good body Of ore above the ID
station, in drifting from the old North
Potosi shaft, and which still looks ex-
ceedingly promising. How long II
will hold ont, remains to be seen, rs II
is not yet fairly opened for advanta-
geous working. Some encouraging
features are also met within other por-
tions of the old upper workings
Of the mine, and the FL Dorado tunnel
will in n day or two be in proper con-
dition for the extraction Of ore through
it. The present daily ore yield Of the
mine Is about 40 tons, average assays
being $40. Prospecting at the lowest
or 9Th level Is theoretically conducted,
with no new aud encouraging indica-
tons rs yet.
YELLOW JACKET.
The sinking of the south shaft to the
l,020-foot level will be completed to-
morrow. and 4 station will next be
opened to drift east $50 feet to the new
body of good ore discovered at that
point by u drift from the l,000-foot
level of the Crown Point. This new
body Of ore promises we'll, widening
out as drifted upon northward. Its
depth or hight Is not yet a~scertained,
but it breasts out nine feet in width,
yielding already about 80 tons Of $50
ore per day. The finding Of such q
good body Of ore ut that depth and
locality Is q very encouraging clrcum-
stance In the future prospects Of the
Crown Point, Kentuck and other mines
contiguous. The main Yellow Jacket
mine il yielding about the same - ut
our last report.
HALE 3 SoRCROSs.
The ore breasts throughout the sixth
or lowest level continue looking ex-
ceedingly well. This level Is being
continued to the northern boundary,
showing very good ore as yet.
At the 535-foot level the drift east has
penetrated the main pay streak, which
Is found at that point to be 20 feet
wide. The present daily yield is about
l45 tons, principally from the sixth or
l,lO0-foot level. The old upper por-
ton Of the mine shows an improved
weld, some 80 tons per day being eN-
tracted from the l75-foot level. The
sinking Of the shaft deeper Is being
theoretically prosecuted, and the point
for opening the seventh level Will be
reached very shortly.
SACRAMENTO 4 MEREDITH.
Grading for the new mill of the COM
many was commenced last Thursday.
The site selected is just below the
Geiger Grade, In the immediate vicin-
ity Of the mine. where there is n plen-
tiful supply Of water in a deep shat
belonging to the company. The ore
from the mine can be dumped through
n shute down to the mill, with great
facility, or a tunnel can be driven di-
reetly from the mill into the NINE, II
required. An abundance Of excellent
surface ore Is now being accumulated
on the dump for working when the
mill Is completed, which will be in
about two months.
CROWN POINT.
This has, within the last three or
four weeks, become 4 producing mine
once more, giving now a daily yield OF
about IS tons of fair grade surface ore,
taken from the 100 and 230-foot levels.
This Is shipped to the Rock Point mill.

developed In prospecting ut the lower
levels. The minze between the 1000
and l,lOOLfoot levels is completed. An
incline will be- commenced shortly
from the bottom Of the shaft, next 10
the west wall, sinking for 4 new or
l.200-foot level.

Good progress Is being made drifting
ut the 13O-foot level; the quartz en-
countered looks very encouraging.
The l52-foot level gives a good regular

Present daily yield LIS tons; aver
o.a assays. about 81 per ton. The
nine shows a better yield and appear
ance within the last week or so. Inc
Grass Valley section especially looks
highly encouraging, some very goo

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Nothing new or interesting to report
