MINING ITENs.-The Crown Point
mine yielded 1918 tons of ore last
week, the estimated mill value Of
which was S55, 7O5 81. The 1,2O0.foot
level Is showing splendidly at present,
and still better as further developed.
The drift south il being run into the
west castings of the vein, first skirting
the ore, and assays from the rock run
from 5000 to $500 per ton. It is much
superior to any ore found on the 100
level, and gives promise to show an ex-
| traordinary yield of ore and bullion.
| The east winze on the 1l00-level Is
down 70 the 1900. The distance from
| the Belcher line where 1t intersects the
l2OO-level Is 100 feet. The average as
SAYS from the wlnze 60 from 800 to
$3.50 DER ton. The slopes between the
| 1000 and HOO levels yield their usual
supply of ore, which mills from $50 to
| S35 per ton. The grade Of the ore on
| tho 1000 level will mill from $25 to
$50. On the 9OO-level there is q vast
amount of low grade ore that will pay
for milling and mining, and about 60
feet from the Belcher line adjoining
the east casing Of the vein there has
been cut q body of ore seven feet In
width that will mill from $35 to $40
per ton. This body increases in width
| going south, and on the Belcher line
| Shows a width of IA feet. In conse-
ouence of these improved prospects
| Crown Point stock Is up In the mar
ket. The Belchcr mine Is also looking
| finely, with Its huge body OF ore as YET
undeveloped as to Its full extent. The
| west wall Is not reached at the HOO
| foot level, and the face Of the south
drift Is looking we'll. The east cross
cut from the end of this drift shows 10
feet of fine ore, but the face Is in por-
phyry. The slopes at this level give a
ine showing of ore, and the wines be-
low it also. The Chollar-Potosi mine
| only yielded $40 tons last week OF the
average assayed value Of $36 40 per
ton. The Gould & Curry shaft Is now
| down l,4S2 feet. The Daney shaft Is
| about 500 feet deep, and q new level at
that depth will shortly be started. The
| drift for the ledge at the 40O-foot level
| Is in l78 feet. The rock works we'll,
| with little water to contend with and
good progress Is consequently made In
both shaft and drift.

A SENSATIONAL SMoKE.--Last even
ing, after supper, Deputy County
Assessor Thomas Cordiell, of Virginia
City, sat down In his easy chair, with
hi. small feet comfortably disposed be-
fore the fire, and his favorite old
meerschaum In his mouth, for \ good,
square, cogitatlve smoke. He had just
got settled into a right cosy frame OF
mind, when suddenly there was q
sharp, fierce explosion. The pipe flew
into smithereens. Cordiell went over
backward, chair and all, heels up, and
great CONSERVATION was created among
the family. He picked himself up
directly, and found he was not hurt,
only a little singed about the beard
and eye-winkers, and considerably
astonlshed. He thought at first that
this was q ".ioo" put up ON him, but
due explanation made It all right. It
seems that by accident some Of the
family had inadvertently happened to
put a few loose pistol cartridges Into
the wrong box, so that when Cordiell
charged his pipe he put in q stronger
dose than he calculated on. Nobody
damaged-except the pipe.

ing the past month of November there
