During the week we had warm, pleas
ant weather, and the roads have dried
ont great deal, so that ore shipments
are again being made without Interrupt
ton; but the snow has not yet all dis
appeared from the cliffs overhanging the
various hoisiting works, and the graded
roads leading TO them are still in a very
bad condition. Another week, however.
Of such weather as we have had the past
week, will put the roads in the best con-
diton from all the mines to all the mills,
and then we may expect former activity
in mining operations.
The bullion production of the next
three months will certainly exceed the
production of the same length of time
in the most prosperous days of the past.
There is probably five times as much
high-grade ore at the surface as was even
before accumulated, this immense accu'
mutation being the result of insufficient
hauling facilities for the last weeks, in
consequence of the horse disease and the
bad state of the roads. Henceforwart
ore will be delivered in vast quantities
and the mills will all be taxed to theil
utmost capacity for weeks.
Contrary to expectation, the warn
weather has had the effect of making the
stage roads more impossible than eve
before, and the bullion shipments during
the week have been light. The difficult.
IN transportation is in crossing thu
ranges, where deep mud has succeeded
the deep snow. But the ranges mus
soon, under the present genial tempera
ture, become as dry as the valleys nov
are, and then we may reasonably believ
the shipments will again commence on'
Tor months continue to be regular. Tn
value of the bars sent out since our las

There is still an immensely of bulliol

Developments on the south side G
Spring Moutain continue to attract grea
attention, Tho yein-bodies there ar
strong and the assays very satisfactory
Noticeable feature in these trans-mour
tain veins is that they generally dip
the north, while those on this side-th
Raymond & Ely, Meadow Valley, Huh

etc.-dip to the southwark This seem
conclusive that there are still to be di
closed enormous chambers of rich ore
In Spring Mountain-probably the mo-
extensive deposits ever discovered.
The low and declining rates prevailir
IN the stock markets are having vel
depressing effect on general bushes
here; but why they should, we cann'
Understand. All agree that our min,
were never in more promising cond
non, and those Immediately interestt
IN development were never more sal
sulne than at the present time. 1t
