THE MINES.

| and the interest manifested has been
increasing, a steady slow advance in
California, Ophir, Mexican, Union
Consolidated, Best 81 Belcher and
Andes being noticeable to an ordi-
nary observer. Yesterday the adj
vance was Intentionally checked in
its upward course by prominent
and well known broker throwing on
the market large quantities of Cali
fornia-and by act and word pre-
venting further rise. Two weeks
from to-day momentous question
in mining annals will have been de-
cided; that is whether the great bo-
nanza extends through the Califor-
mia mine into the 0phir. That this
important knowledge will have an
influence on the Pacific Coast no
one acquainted with the situation
questions, tor the enormous value
the California mine will then assume
can hardly be estimated. Ophir ex-
piorationS are continued with ener-
gy. Consolidated Virginia received
a shipment yesterday of $4,000,
bringing up the receipts to 100000
Other shipments will be announced
in day or two.
Outside of the group of Comstock
mines the changes have not been
important, though the business is
steadily increasing. We note the
steady advance and gathering
strength of the Raymond & Ely
stock, and that this admirably man
aged stock will again take stand in
doubt. There are other mines in
the Phoebe District which will soon
come to the front.
We are pleased to notice that Jul
ius Greenebaum was elected in the
San Francisco Board of Brokers on
Tuesday, to the vacant seat of
Minor S. Martin.
The market outlook is satisfactory
though fluctuations may prevail for
some time further.-S. +. Stock Re-

Dayton-The main shaft is now
down "a feet below the 400-foot
level. The main drift is still being
pushed south toward the Kossuth
line. in low grade ore. There is an
immense amount of this ore. It is
remarkably clear and free from base
material, but is just a little too
poor to pay for crushing. At
greater depth it is expected that
this body of ore will pay well for
working.
Kossuth-The main west drift is
now on the point of tapping the
vein. Water is already beginning
to come in at the face of the drift.
and sluices have been put in and all
preparations have been made for
the rush of water expected when
the ledge shall have been cut. The
pumps have been put in perfect
order, and when the water shall
have been reached there will be no
trouble with it beyond that of
pumping it out.
Daney-The north and south
drifts on the 400-foot level are
still driven energetically ahead,
without change of value to report.
South Comstock-A letter from
the Superintendent of the I'd says
we have our machinery all ready
for starting up. We will resume
sinking tomorrow. Expect to cut
the ledge soon any time this month.
We shall undoubtedly make some
very important developments, as
our ledge shows very rich ore on
top"
Observation-Disclosures devel-
opments are expected in this mine
within the week, as it was reported
yesterday that there was great i'm
provement in the character of the
ore in the face of the tunnel as
well as the wines. Work of de-
velopment is being pushed forward
with alacrity.
