Yer the Week Endiss October I, 1874.
The rise in stocks which We have pre-
dictsd for some time past, seems 10 be
fairly i~naugurated. We predicted it for
October. but IL commenced 4 little be-
fore. It is very liable to last for
about tive months-psrhaps less.
And this rise is better based upon true
merit than was the great rise OF two
years ago. for from ons end Of the CON-
stock TO the other the mines are looking
unusually well, and new and rich do
posts Of ore are being brought to
light at the lower levels.
IAdsed Il almost looks Is though the
idea Of a grand. continuous ore body at
q certain depth, all along the lode, was
not altogether visionary. The Com
stock shows more ore developed. and
in sight, ready for extraction. than
ever before. The prospects in the Amer
lean Flat section are splendid, and in the
Gold Canyon section still more cheering.
Look at Justice, Ovsrman and all the
rest. But, below va give the latest and
