For the Week Rndias June 1, 1872.
Since our last report stocks have
been up a little, and gone down again
considerably, closing very low and
weak. A general, rise, however, Is
looked for next week, based upon
various encouraging circumstances.
During the week there have been no
new and important developments wor-
thy Of special note In any of the mines.
All, however, are looking and promls-
ing well, and next week better devel-
opments are looked for In some Of
them. Stocks are not liable to go to
any such high figure again this season
as they have been at, and 1t would be
unreasonable to expect 1t. Those who
bought in at the highest rates will have
to walt a long time In order to get
even, or sell out on tho next rise and
stand a loss, If they do not desire to
remain tied up till next season. Below
we give what we know about the
mines :
Savage.
There has been no increase Of the
yield Of the mine or change In the
quality of the ore taken out during the
week. They are stopping and raising
on the ore body on the 1,30O.foot Lowell,
which Is not only holding out, but i'm
proving in quality. They are also
breasting out OH the ore body In the
winze OH the 14OO-foot level, finding
as yet no limit to its extent. The drlrt
south to connect with the Hale u Nor
cross on the 1900 level has been pushed
ahead until the workmen can hear II
another speak, aud will undoubtedly
connect the two drifts IN less than
twenty-four hours, which Will give
them. what they so much need, u good
supply OF pure air. The east cross-cnt
on this level has developed ore, with
good Indications of a body ahead but
the heat Is so great that until they get
air but little work can DO done, the
men having to change every five or
eight minutes.
Sapphire.
This old mine, now reincorporated
and being brought Into working opera
ton, Is secured by United States Patent
and il situated 4 short distance south
Of the Justice. 1t Is 1000 feet In
length. Capital stock, $2,4OO, 900, In
p, OOO shares Of 800 each. Trustees
G. ID. Roberts, +. &. C~atherwood. A.
j. Bryant, 4. B. Lewis, Z. B. Rail ;
5000 shares ut IS per share, have been
appropriated for q working capital.
An open cut OH the surface near the
middle of the location, has been run
across the ledge a distance of % feet
and has not yet reached tho west wall,
and q tunnel has been driven In about
60 feet below the groupings, exposinga
ledge AZ feet in width, from which ore
has been taken that mills from 80 to
$2i per ton.
Daily yield 275 tons, from the HOO
and 1,O0O-foot levels. Tho main ILL
cline Is now down $50 feet, or 10 feet
below the 1,OOO-foor level. The drift
west from the ll00-foot level, to inter-
sect the bottom of this winzc. has
about 80 feet farther to go in order to
reach the point Of intersection. In
five or six weeks tho connection will
be made. Tour last report said six
months, but that was tho printers
mistaken The new hoisting-works
machinery will DO completed and
started up next week, aud as soon al
the incline Is completed to the 100
foot level, the orc will BIZ hoisted alto
gether through the shaft Of the COM
pany, instead of through the Yellow
Jacket, as at present.
Quinn Mine.
phis mine is situated in Spring Val
ley, DEVILS Gate District, and was for
merly worked as a gold claim, no eff
tort being made to save the silver. A
shaft Is down 60 feet, which In sinking
cut through ore assaying $50 per ton
and drifting Is commenced, expect
Ing to strike the ledge at a distance Of
about 30 feet. On the dump Is Is or
20 tons of ore worth $3.50 per ton and
assaying about equal proportions Of
gold and silver. II the ledge when cut
continues as good as present prospects
indicate, the company will immedi-
ately commence sinking another shaft
and erecting machinery for working
the mine in good style.
woodviIic.
The mine of this company adjoins
the Justice OIL the east, and the title
will soon be secured by United States
patent, which Is applied for. The
Shaft Is 156 feet deep, and sinking
deeper il being continued, a hand
windlass at present being used, pend
ing the arrival Of new steam hosting
machinery, now on Its way from San
Francisco. The mine Is yielding 30
tons per day, which mills 1872 per ton.
The bullion is worth 80 per ounce, con-
tanning a large proportion of gold.
The Woodvillo Is II Of the paying,
non-assessment mines.
Ophir.
Owing to breaking Of the pumping
machinery on Tuesday last, the water
rose In tho shaft SO as to oblige n stop
page of all the work on tho lower
levels for two or three days; but by
use of the most strenuous exertions
the pump was put In good working or
der again yesterday morning, and to-
day tho water Is sufficiently reduced to
allow the men to resume work. Owing
to the break but little prospecting has
been done either on the HOO or 1900
foot levels the present week.
Crewn Point.
Owing to trouble with tho water
tapped at the 13OO-foot level, the orc
yield has fallen OF to about 300 tons
per day. The water drove the miners
out OF the 1900 or lowest level, and the
pumps proved inadequate to reduce 1t.
The breaking of q spur wheel last
night also operated detrlmentally. A
new pump-bob is being put In. and to-
