Mr,t,a MArrsRs.-we have nothing

MINING MATrHRs.-We have nothing
in the way Of extra good ore develop
ments to mention this week. The Vel
low Jacket mine is yielding about the
same as at our last mention the sink
ing of the main shaft deeper, and drift
ing north at the two lower levels Is
still continued ut n satisfactory rate.
The main incline of the Crown Point
Is down IS feet below the l200-foot
t triton, and deeper sinking is suspend
ed on account Of water flowing In a
heayy stream from the 1200-foot level.
The raise from the l100-foot level Is
now up 132 feet above the track floor,
and the ore found In the fece Is not
quite so good as that 80 or60 feet below.
The indications for finding good ore In
the south drift ut the 1l00-foot level are
excellent. In the Belcher mine, the
raise above the 335.foot level Is In q
large body of flne-looking quartz,
assaying we'll and improving. The
420-foot level Is being retimbered, Il
a Wine will shortly be sunk below 1t
in the ledge. Quite a jump has taken
place In the stock of the Gould & Curry
during the last day or two, based upon
speculation and upon a tolerably good
ore strike in the mine. The rise In
Ophir stock Is attributable to the assess
ment becoming delinquent.
