CONDITION OF THE MINES.
REVIEW OF THE WEEKS WORK.
Recent Strikes--Rise of Stock.

Since our last general review, there
have been some developments Of i'm
nortance that have given a cheerful
stimulus to the business outlook. 1t is
a m remark among business
men that the prospects are unusually
flattering for this season of the year,
and confidence is increased in the flu
ture. The railroad facilities, open win.
ter, and good roads have enabled the
mines to receive supplies without in
terruption, and, as a consequence, in.
stead OF h usual cessation of work,
there are rumor OF furnace, starting
up, important ore bodies found, the
development OF which will insure an
increased, demand for labor and sup.
plies. The nos important mining
news of the week is the strikes in the
Consolidated and Jackcon, and the
firing up the furnace at the former.
