THE WINES.

Friday turned the tide of many a
man, for stocks took a turn upward.
The panic of the past week has been
the most severe that our citizens
have ever experienced, and yet there
is no cause assigned. The ore body
in the bonanza claims is looking bet
ter than they did two or three weeks
ago, as developments progresses. 1t
is thought stocks will now 90 up to
such figures as the developments in
the mines appear to justify. All
prospecting operations, and contem-
plated prospecting and mining ope-
rations, are as firmly believed in and
will be as faithfully carried out as
though no stampede had occurred,
though many will not have so much
money with which to prosecute work
on new mines as they would have
had in case they sold out at profit
the stocks held by them in the old
mines. Here is where the country
will be somewhat the looser for
time; vet sooner or later men are al
WAYS found to assist i'll sinking shafts
in favorable locations, and where
companies have good titles to their
ground and really mean business.
When spring opens we shall see
great activity among prOspectors in
all directions-the grand develop
ments in the bonanza mines insures
this.
Dayton-The main shaft is down
60 feet below the 300-foot level and
is progressing at the rate OF two feet
per day. The south drift on the
third level is being advanced toward
the KosSuth line at the rate Of four
feet per day. 1t is following the
west wall and is in quartz, but that
which is not rich enough to mill.
About 30 feet from the face of the
drift crOss-cut was made east which
showed body of quartz Of the same
character as that found in the drift
20 feet in width. They have yet
about 800 feet to go to reach the Kos
suth line, and, judging from the
groupings on the surface, they feel
quite confident that a chimney of
paving ore will be found in going
the distance mentioned. They have
enough ore at the Woodwork mill to
keep it in operation till February 10,
by which time they expect to be
able to resume hauling. All Of their
dumps at the mine are filled with
ore. An order has been sent for
ward for new machinery, equal to
any on the ComStock. Superintend-
ent's letter of the 25th says: The
engine-bed is completed on the new
massive foundation and is ready for
the engine and other machinery
whenever they shall arrive. Sink
ing the shaft is progressing well, it
being now 81 feet below the Sd level.
South drifts on I'd and Sd levels are
without special change.
Silver Hill - Connection having
been made between the drift north
on the third station level and the
north Wine sunk from the second
station level, the ventilation of the
northern part of the mine has been
much improved. There is cOnsid-
cradle improvement i'll the two drifts
running south on the levels named.
All else in and about the mine is
going on much as usual.
Buckeye-The work of sinking the
main incline is still being vigorously
prosecuted for the purpose of open
ing the mine at a greater depth than
has ever vet been attained. The
company have increased their capt.
tai stock to S4,S0O0 900, divided into
5000 shares of 500 each.
kosSuth-The main shaft is down
45 feet below the 350-toot level. The
main DRIFT at the 3j0-foOt level is in
distance of 90 feet, and is in very
hard rock, which is supposed to be
the shell of the ledge.
Daney- Still drifting along the
line OF the ledge, both north and
south. In the north drift very IA
vorable indications are met with,
considering that the depth is but 400
feet.
Occidental-There is now good
showing of low grade ore in the face
of the drift north from the level of
the old lower tunnel.
Cosmopolitan Nothing new to
report; ledge steadily improves in
quality and size.
Santiago - Work progressing as
usual.
Silver Notwithstanding the main
shaft; making fair Roadway.
