tendency. Money appears to be easy
enough, and the desire for investment
in mining stock I. very apparent with
an excellent degree Of confidence man

are In the highest favor owing to the
fine and profitable character Of the de-
velopments made and being made.
Tho Virginia portion Of the ledge,
however, Is also looking up and show
ing Improvement. Below we give
what we know about the mines:
Bslehey.
The daily yield fell OF a little this
week. owing to the breakage Of the
Yellow Jacket pump, neces,itating
the use Of cage tanks for baillng, and
thus giving less facilities for hoisting
ore. All Is right again now. however.
The ore breasts are all looking splen-
didly as usual, aud the Crown Point
cave has no effect upon this mine
whatever. The main incline Is now
down 497 feet below the $50 foot level,
and according to the survey has 81
feet further to 60 In order to connect
with the west drift from the / .000-foot
level. A drift or gangway east has heen
run 100 feet from the incline, which
has cut into the ledge and shows very
favorable Indications for tinding ore.
The south drift at this level Is being
run to connect with this east drift.
The yield Of the mine for the past quar-
ter was 81, 203, 05O. The company has
filed Its certificate OF Increase Of capl-
tai stock from 81, 040, 900 to $40, 400. 0O0.

The daily ore yield continues about
the same as before the cave, owing to
the great resources Of the mine. The
main drift at the 1.200-foot level has
been cleared Of the debrl. Of the cav
and secured as far as possible. The
cave extends to the l.100-foot level.

the ore Is all there and can b. taken
out In due time. The water Il slowly

lower part of the mine, and when the

and prospecting below that point Will
be resumed with the most magnificent
prospects, judging from what was
known before the great influx OF water
was tapped.
Operations at this mine are confined
exclusively to the sinking Of the new
shaft on the east side Of the vein.
Work therein Is somewhat retarded BY
the accumulation Of surface water.
The machinery works we'll and the
deepening OF the shaft Is continued
without Interruption day or night.
The new hoistlng works Of this COM
pany are situated OH the southern de-
clivity of Mount Fairview, and have
been erected with surprising quick
ness. The popularity Of these works

and general neatness Of the surround

that Of the Hale & Norcross mine, and
both mines are operated under the
same direction.

Information from the management
Of this mine Il htterly difficult to OBJ

the 5OO-foot level cross-drifts have been
started to the east and west, and that a
cross-cut Is now In progress from the
end of the DRIFT leading from the 1855
