MINING ITEMs.-The face Of the south
drift at the l1OOLfoot level of the Bel
cher mine, a little over 400 feet from
the Crown Point line, shows princi-
pally barren quartz, but the breasts at
that level all show fine ore. At the
depth Of % feet below the 12OO-foot
level the north Wine encountered so
much water that deeper sinking had to
be suspended. The winze from the
900 to connect with the l0OO-foot level
Is down 65 feet, and the rock Is very
hard. The retimbering Of the main
shaft Is completed to within about 60
feet Of the surface, and the main in
cline Is now down 236 feet below the
S50-foot level, In very hard rock. The
recent ore development ut the lowest
level Of the Savage mine, although not
so good as was at first estimated, Is
yet very promising for the development
Of a valuable and extensive deposit.
The recent concentration Of the stock,
involving a change of control at the
annual meeting Of the company which
takes place In July, was based upon
the real appearance and promise OF the
new discovery, which 1t will however
take several weeks to properly
and Understandings develop. The
Hale & Norcross mine yields about
l25 tons per day. The main incline is
now timbered to q depth Of 25 feet
below the l3OO-foot level, and at a
point 1SS feet below that level, equiva-
lent to n perpendicular depth Of 100
feet, the 1400-foot level Is being opened.
The Chollar-Potosi mine yielded last
week al average Of about 100 tons Of
ore per day, assaying over $50 per
ton, but owing to the bad state Of the
roads preventing transportation fur
Their ore extraction had to be reduced
or suspended by reason Of the dumps
being all full. No new ore develop
ments made in the mine. except at the
south of the Belvidere section, where a
limited deposit was found last Satur-
day. Plenty Of prospecting Is going
on ut various points. Nothing new In
the Gould & Curry mine-only pros
pecting. The same may be said Of the
Ophir. The new shaft Of the Overman
mine Is down $40 feet. The rock en-
countered Is considerably harder, yet
II blasts and works well, therefore sat
isfactory progress Is made. The Ken
tuck mine yields 10 tons Of ore per day.
The old drifts, burned out at the time
Of the great fire, are being retlmbered,
and the mine generally Is being put In
good working shape. The Superin-
tendent expects soon to DO taking QUE
60 tons Of orc per day. The Daney
mine continues to be actively devel-
oped, and drifting both north and
south In the vein, at the 300-foot level
Is commenced, with excellent indlca-
tions In sight. Work Is also progress
Ing satisfactorily at the 40O.foot level.
The main shaft Of the Julia mine Is
down Sos feet, and the ore at that
depth assays as high rs $50 per ton,
gold predomlnating rel the silver.
As the shaft progresses deeper the
prospects are more flattering. The
Enterprise says the Buckeye mine, Sill
yer City, Is looking we'll, and ore Is
being raised from all the three levels.
Two mills-the Hope and Sewell's-
are running on ore from the mine.
The breasts on all the levels are look
ing exceedingly we'll, and there is now
In sight In the mine a three-months'
supply Of orc.
The BROOKLYN LOTTERY. By an
advertisement In another column 1t
will be seer that q grand festival will
be given at Piper's Opera House, Viz
glnia City, March Goth, when will take

LIVELY Snow SroRM.-The storm
which we have been predicting and the
Enterprise brewing for tho last week
or two arrived early this morning
from California. Blustcry southwest
winds and q cloudy sky were its fore
runners yesterday and last evening,
and Just AFTER midnight the storm
started in In right down lively earnest.
Right merrily and plentifully did the
mesly snow sift all over the country,
and the washoe zephyrs drilled and
piled It up industriously in all
eligible places. There was n
partial cessation Of hostilities
about 10 o'clock A. NJ, but all day the
air has been filled with sitting, sleety
snow, cleaning through the struggling
sunshine. The depth Of snow which
has fallen this time Is variously esti-
mated mt from seven to twelve inches.
This Is the last big storm OF the season.
