Yer the Week Bndins October is, 1874.
Yesterday and day before the stock
market showed quite . respectable rally
from the recent unexpected break, but
to-day stocks are again, generally speak
ing, o "littls off," The market GER
tainly is not as good as most everybody
expected ii would be. or what the real
condition Of the mines call for. The
bear influence is strong and seems hard
TO overcome. Assessments certainly have
little to do with this state Of affairs, for
an unusually small number have been
levied during the past month. The ia
nous and most unreasonable "rise" Of
two years ago was based upon no
such good mining Developments as
are shown at the present time.
Then, tho great Crown Point and Bel
cher ore body was pretty much all that
was worth speaking Of. Since then the
great and valuable ore deposits Of the
Consolidated Virginia and the ophir, at
the north end OF tho ledge, have been
found. and one mors dividend paying
mine added to the list. The rich ore
streak Of the Imperial. Empire, followed
now through to the Confidence ground,
and the ore deposit Of the ovsrman, are
also new developments. Even the Sierra
Nevada is making a better showing, in
the shape Of a new and very promising
development Of ore, and new and
valuable Developments Of orc are
being now brought to light
in the woodyille. New York Console
dated and other mines Of the Gold
Canyon section. The Crown Point and
Bslcher are both showing well at the
lower levels, and the mining outlook
generally is highly encouraging. Even
the serious drawback in tho bullion pro-
duction, caused by the low stage Of
water in Carson River, is being obviatsd
by the season Of drouth being nearly
over, and the water increasing consider
ably during the past few days. Below
We give our regular weekly summary Of
the latest and most correct mining in
formation obtsinable:
Consolidated Virginia.
Daily yield 800 tons OF ore. Tho ore
breasts On both the 1900 and l30O-foot
levels arc yielding finely. A Wine 100
feet north OF winzo No. 9 has just bssn
completed from the 1900 down to the
l3OO-foot level, passin. the entire dis
lance through fine ore. The ore breasts
| on the li00-foot level are yielding the
usual amount Of rich ores, and never
looked richer or better than ut present.
A drift north is being carried forward
ahead Of the ore breasts ON the liOO-
foot level, the face Of which is in splen-
did orc. This drift is being run by the use
Of Burleigh drills, driven by compressed
air, which il q wonderful improvement
over the old, slow, hand method Of do
ing such work, as the oomprsssors not
only furnish the motive power for doing
the hardest portion OF the work. but
ventilatss the drifts to such an extent as
to make the work comfortable in any
portion OF the mine. Two new engines
for driving these drills have just been
set up, making fvo in all o in opera
ton in the mine. The east cross-cut,
100 feet south Of the north line, on the
l50O-foot level, has psnstratsd the ore
body q distance OF Is feet, and is not
vet through IL. A cross-out east has just
been started on the California line, but
will have about 80 feet yet to run TO
reach the ledge. Tho raise 10 connect
with the north Wine, No. :, from the
14OO-foot level, is up 30 feet in rich ore.
An upraise has been started from the
north drift on the l500.foot level OF the
Gould K Curry, at a point 100 feet south
of the WINE, which forms tho connoc-
ton with the l5O0.foot level oil the Con.

this raise is in magnificent ore, car sam
ples averaging $3.50 and $3.50 per ton.
A cress-cut has been run near the Best
4 Belchsr line, which is also in rich ore.
The north drift. en- the l5OO-foos level
Of the Gould & Curry IL also being
driven ahead to the northvard, the face
