0phir and Yellow Jacket stocks are
somewhat elevated to-day. but the gen.
sral tone Of the stock market Is rather
soft. The mining outlook. however, il
most excellent at the three cardinal
points along the lins-that Is to say,
the Ophir or Consolidated Virginia, the
Imperial and the Crown Point and Bel
cher. The Overman Is also looking up
on better and NOR encouraging de-
velopments, and the Justice and the
other mines down Gold Canyon ore look
ing better than usual. There In o bet
ter groundwork for o good square nd
vance in stocks than has ever before pre-
ssnted itself in the history Of the Gem
stock ledge.
Below we give our regular weekly
summary OF the latest and most correct
intelligence obtainablo relative to the
mines Of this section:
Consolidated virginia.
Daily yield 400 tons Of ore. The ore
breasts on the 1900 and l4OO-foot levels
are yielding ~splendidly. and show no
signs whatever OF q dimunition Of the
yield. The north drifts on both Of these
levels are still running through rich ore.
and there is hardly q doubt now but that

ward to the l500-foot level extends into
the California ground. The line OF
north wines No. 3 from the 1900, 1900
and 1i00-foot levels arc all making e.
ssllsnt progress downward. all in nch
ore. Opening up the ore body on the
l5O0.foot level is progressing finely.
showing IL TO bemore extensive and richer
than the m~ostsanguine believer in the i'm
menss value Of the mine ever expected.
The ore body on this level is now
developed for almost the entire length
| Of the mine. and OF the only point whore
prosecuting the ledge has been at
tempted, 1t Is proven TO be 40 feet in
| width Of the richest possible character
Of ore. The mills are all running. and
good returns will be made for the month.
Ophir.
Daily yield. 100 tons Of ore. The ore
Slopes ON both the 1900 and 14G5.foot
levels arc opening up splendidly. the ore
being Of even a richer quality than has
heretofore been encountered. In fact
the mine shows improvement at almost
every point where work Is being done,
with the strongest possible indications
| Of still richer developments on the l7OO-
foot level when prosecuting in that
portion Of the mine shall have been
commenced. There now seems but little
| doubt that the rich body OF ore extend
ing downward from the 1900 to the 1906
foot level is simply n continuation Of the
great ore bonanza Of the Virginia Con-
solidated, which extends through the
| California into the 0phir. and perhaps
through the Ophir into the Union Con-
| solidatea. The mills are all steadily
| crushing ore from the mine, and the re-
turns for the present month will greatly
exceed those Of last month.

The south drift on the 1S50-foot level
running toward the Yellow Jacket line
is still pushed vigorously ahead. Sink.
