Fer the Week Endins Ootsber IL, 1873.
Stocks have been rather lively during
the week, with considerable transac-
,ions, but dropped a little at the close.
The southern end Of the ledge Is look
Ing up, and not only Grown Point and
Belcher, but some of the American
Flat mines are decided favorltes with
buyers. The Consolidated Virginia,
under most gratifying. prospects and
daily production Of good ore, Is deser-
vedly In the front rank, and stimulates
operation considerably at the north
ern end OF tho ledge. The general
outlook Is cheering. Below we give
what we know about the mines:
Beleher.
Daily yield 400 tons Of ore. The
quantity Of ore extracted can be great
ly Increased whenever mills can be
obtained to crush It. The main in
cline IL down liz feet below the 1900
foot level, the sinking making excel
lent progress. The main drift north
from the incline on the 1300-foot level
to connect with the main south DRIFT
from the Crown Point on the same
level, 10 making excellent progress.
The main drift south from the Crown
Point Is In 395 feet, the face In good ore.
The winze from the l200-foot level Is
still In fine ore. Sinking the winze
from the l300-foot level IL making fine
progress, the ore in the bottom show
Ing a steady improvement. The ore
breasts throughout the mine are both
looking and yielding finely. The
bulkhead between the Crown Point
mine and the Yellow Jacket will short
" be removed, when extracting ore
from the l30O-foot level will be re-
sumed.
Crown Point.
About $50 tons Of ore IL being ex-
tracted daily. 1t Is taken from the
1000, 1900 and l3OO-foot levels. The
ore breasts still look well and are
yielding the usual amount Of ore, SIM
liar In quality to that already taken
out. The wines are being pushed Wig
orously ahead, and have already at
tanned q vertical depth OF So feet. The
middle winze shows ore OF q much
better quality than the north one. The
main drift from the 1400-foot station
Is In n distance OF $50 feet, and IL be-
Ing rapidly driven forward toward
the Belcher line. No work has been
done on the l500.foot level, with
the exception Of driving a
drift northward to meet q DRIFT run
ming southwark from the Yellow Jack
ct mine. Water. scalding hot, flows
90 freely from the main drift on the
150O-foOt station that 1t has been con-
sidered unsafe to proceed with the
drift, as the pump is.now worked to Its
fullest capacity.
Consolidated Virginia.
Enlarging the main shaft will be
completed, and hoisting ore through
It. will be commenced In about four
days more. There Is now 20 IONS Of
high grade ora being extracted daily,
through the main DRIFT OIL the llG7-foot
level OF the Gould Il Curry shaft which
will be increased to 260 tons per day
as soon as the company can resume
hosting through their own shaft. Tho
ore breasts are now opened out 40 feet
In width, and are being gradually ex-
tended In width as the work OF extrac-
ton progresses. The body Of ore
opened Is improving daily In quality,
and there Is no longer a doubt as to the
richness and value OF the deposit. Two
mills have been started up crushing
orc from the mine and another will be
added by the last Of next week.
baltimore Consolidated.
The main west drift at the second
station. during the week, cut through
a solid vein Of ore, lying directly
against the east wall Of the ledge, five
feet In thickness, which assays from
$50 to 500 per ton. The DRIFT Is Still
continued to the westward, the face
being In very promising vein matter,
aud excellent indications Of striking a
continuation Of the ore. The west
drift, at the third station, shows a con-
tinued and steady improvement. There
Is no change to report OF the first sta
ton. Taken altogether tho indications
Of the development OF large and per-
manent body Of ore In this mine, were
never more flattering than at the pres
ent time.
Justice.
The north Drift from the up raise In
the north drift on the 300 foot-level
has developed some rich ORE, which
bids fair to develop into a fine and ex-
tensive body. The east cross.cut from
the south drift 800 foot-level Is being
pushed rapidly ahead to make connec-
ton with the Waller Defeat works.
Both the north and south drifts at the
first station Of the Waller defeat shaft
are In good ore. II Is expected that
the company will DO able to start an-
other mill on ore from the mine In a
day or two more.
American Flat,
The frs. oross-cut from tile main
south DRIFT at the third station, has
penetrated a splendid body Of ore the
distance OF 10 feet, the full face Of the
drIft still being In fine ore The sec
ond cross.cut from the same DRIFT, 90
feet south Of the first, this morning cut
the face Of the ledge. showing splendid
orc, the extent OF which Is Of curse
not yet known, but there Is not the
least doubt that a rich development
has been made.

conntered In sinking, but not enough
to In the least impede the work. The
new machinery Is all working splend-
Idly, aud there seems to be nothing
now to interrupt the steady develop
ment Of tho mine. An assessment OF
80 cents per share was levied on the
9th instant.
