The week closes with stocks de-
pressed, notwithstanding the payment
Of the regular dividends on Belchsr
and Crown Point, and also the COM
mencing Of the Consolidated Virginia
to pay monthly dividends. The dlvl-
bends officially declared at the present
time aggregate larger than for many
months, to say the least, being rs fol-
lows: Belcher $50, 900, Crown Point
800, 900. Consolidated Virginia $32i,-
900. Total, $l,2ii,000. This, II we
mistake not, IL the largest aggregate
Of dividends from the Comsteck mines
for any one month during nearly .
year past. The two mines first mem
toned have had to do the dividend
paying for many months, and It IL
gratifying, not only to stockholders,
but for the interest Of the country at
large, to be able to record another
successful company falling into the
line Of dividend paying minos.
The Consolidated Virginia milne has
been most admirably managed, from
first to last, and has only nc last COM
menced paying dividends simply be-
cause Of the ore and bullion develop
ments enabling 1t to do 90. with a
healthy reserve In the treasury and
plenty more dividends In sight. The
mine itself shows continued Inn
provement ut Its lower levels, As
further developed, aud the great
ore body bids fair to develop Into
equal importance with that OF the
Belcher aud Crown Point. Such an
ore development at tho north end OF
the Comstock Il Of vital Importance to
that section. aud also gives assurances
Of the continuation Of the ore deposits
OF tho Com,toek to illimltable depths.
The Belcher aud Crown Point lower
levels also show better and better as
further developed, and the bullion
yield shows a corresponding increase.
The Crown Point, however, will have
to stop on hosting shortly for a few
days In order to get In new aud heavier
machinery. The present low price OF
stocks Il net at all alarming or unex.
pected. Stocks may even 20 a little
lower, bu. not much. The season 10
getting too tar advanced. the yield OF
the mines Is heavy, and the prospects
ahead are too good to allow OF any
permanent depression. Stocks have
to be down before they can
be up. We have no new de-
velopments 70 note since our
regular weekly report Of Thurs

ara below the level Of the proposed

It IL perfectly feasible for Sutro to
work his famous tunnel now

or anywhere else. That famous tun-
nsl will bc thoroughly drained and LETT

pleted. The mlne owners should de-

never drain the Comstock.

TURNER BROTHERS.
A Favorable Past RecOrG Of q Recently
Suspended Firm-EEects OF the
Panic.

NEW YORK, June 17.-The history of
the house of Turner Brothers, which sus-
pended yesterday is good. AS elected
by friends, several brokers doing bust
ness in 1874 made a speciality of coTdials,
liquors, fruits and syTups, shipping large
quantities of the latter to the West In
dies. They were very successful, and
as their resources increased they expand
ed their business, taking large interest
in petroleum, which amply paid them
for their ventures. The Arm increased
in prosperity and numbers until there
were eight brothers. They had begun
the banking business, and from shabby
little offices they entered into a large
marble building in Nassau street, which
they erected them mselves, and which it
was understood they had afterward sold
at handsome profit to the Fourth ma
tional bank and life insurance company
now occupying it. They dealt largely
with railroads, and generally successful
ly until the coming Of the panic, which
hey succeeded in withstsnding up to
this time, when they suspended. While
