VIRGINIA CRY. Nov. 10.

Excited stock Dealers at Virginia.
VIRGINIA Cry. Nov. Is.
There is considerable excitement
here to-day over the fall in Sierra Ne
vada and the bonanzas. G. street, in
front of the brokers' offices, is thronged
with an excited crowd. Outsiders here
are ignorant of the cause of the break.
Two rumors, however. prevail-the first
that number of San Francisco experts
visited the mines yesterday and re.
ported back unfavorably; second, that
the afternoon shift yesterday reported
that the 2200-foot crosscut was still in
cap rock. The truth of the latter re-
port Is, however, denied.
The Sierra Nevada.
VIRGINIA CITY, Nov. Is.
The ore struck on Saturday in the
Sierra Nevada was narrow seam. On
Saturday night the cap rock was
reached again, aud yesterday and last
night it had not been cut. At clock
this morning the cap was again cut
through, and u rich body of ore was
struck, assayiDg over 81 00O per ton.
Stock nanipnIation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov, Is.
The break in stocks this morning is
attributed to, the manipulation OF
Nevada Block. There is nothing in
the news from the Sierra Nevada cross
cut TO warrant such smash. Many
press and private dispatches received
from Virginia are all to the same
general tenor that the mine is looking
well. The ore In the crosscut on the
2, 100 foot level hardly averages as good
as expected. bat ou the 2, 2Oe.foot level
1t far exceeds anticipatlons in every
respect.
