The advance which has been made in
the north end stocks OF late has been on
merit. Those holding thoss stocks now
manifest . determination 10 retain them
In spite Of delays or assessments In
fact those stocks are strongly held.
During the past week the north end
has made most important dsmonstra-
tons Of its value. In Sierra Nevada the
incline has passed from rich stringsrs
into . solid body Of quartz all Of which
will pay to mill. OF course some por-
tons are richer than others. This and
the further important fact that gold
largely prsdominstss in the formation.
would indicate Il to Be . feeder Of the
ore body lying under. the incline. and
proves that to b both rich and deep.
The above furnishes sufficient reason for
the recent advance In Sierra Nevada
stock and for the desire on the part Of
those who have Il to keep it.
The advance in Ophir has also been
based on important Developments. Ths
incline has found moro promising string
srs Of quartz-low grade, to DO sure. but
they have u favorable look. . kindly
nature and . suggestive dip to the west.
People are getting most anxious to know
what lies below the $500 level. It will
take some time to show il up. since the
$500 station is to be opened in prefer
snce to continuing the incline at present.
The 40 feet Of the stump are just about
completed. The station will DO cut out
next week.
There are other portions Of ophir.
too. which are attracting attention. A
vein OF good milling ore has been reached
on the 2iOO level and Is being followed
south from the bottom Of the Wine
down from the 1000 level. This Wine
cut through . vein when sunk and
reached another. These stringss Of
rich ore are pleasant reminders Of what
was found running between the Cali
fornis and Consolidated Virginia whom
the big Bonanza was traced from the
latter mine to the hump which raised in
the California and just above whore the
greatest length and breadth Of that i'm.
msnss ore body were found.
Interest still attaches also TO the
slopes above the 1000 level whore the
vein continues to widen o. II 10 followed
to the south and west. Folks are get
ting anxious to know what lies still
further on in that direction for the swing

Along the central portion Of the lode

much. The flooded mines and thu
Chollar and the Potosi are also waiting.

in machinery. and this interierss with

Work IL somewhat interfered with in
the mine by reason Of the changing Of
