MINING MATTERs.-Stocks are in a
healthy state, and so r the mines,
generally speaking, with important
noticeable change, In some instances.
The Chollar Potosi dlsburses a 80 div
idend, the Hale & Norcross IS, and the
Yellow Jacket 81. The Confidence
Mining Company have levied an as
sessment Of g, delinquent March 18th.
This Is the ninth assessment levied by
the company. No dividends have been
paid. The Yellow Jacket mine is
yielding about 100 tons a day, from the
800, 900 and 1000 foot levels. Ave
rage assays from car samples $6l. The
1000 and LOO level drifts are still pro-
crossing at a good rate northward, al
though the progress IS necessarily
slower than it would be If there was a
good circulation Of cool air. This,
however, cannot be until Wine con-
nections are made with the levels
above. 1t is very hot in these drifts at
the present time. The shaft Is sunk
now to the depth of 81 feet below the
LOO foot level, and progressing deep
er at q satisfactory rate. The conf
pany has Just discussed q 81 dividend,
and the treasury is in a healthy state,
owing to the very good and regular
bullion yield of the mine. The Crown
Point meets with increased favor, W
ing to the new ore deposit developed
in the raise above the ll00-foot level
looking better and more promising du-
ring the last two or three days. A
cross cut to the east wall, made ninety
feet up the raise shows the body to be
ten feet wide, all good pay ore. The
Belcher is also looking better, especi-
ally in the north drift, toward the
Crown Point. Assays average high,
and the future prospects of the mine
are excellent. The Imperial shows no
change for the better. The stock is
pretty we'll depressed at present be-
meath the pressure of that last assess
ment of 80 per share. The Chollar-
.Potosi still continues its most excel
lent yield, the Belvidere section hold
ing N splendidly. 1t will continue
doing so for some time to come, with
consequent continuation of the regular
monthly dividends. The January re-
ceipts were $276,606 80. The Hale Il
Norcross is not looking quite so well
at the north end Of the eigth level. but
otherwise the ore sections all look and
yield we'll as usual. The Savage Is
not yielding as good ore now rs it was
n couple Of weeks ago, but there Is
plenty Of it. Receipts for january,
$l39,450. Nothing new to be said OF
the Gould i Curry. January receipts,
81, 0l4 "A. An assessment Of 81 oO
per share on the Daney became delin-
quent yesterday, one Of 81 per share

Revenue, Is not necessary, and has not
been since the LIST Of October last, All
notes under 800 are exempt from
stamp duty. All over that amount
must be stamped as heretofore-tive
cents for each 800, or fractional part
thereof. No other recent changes
have been made In the stamp laws
