Recent quotations Of sales Of stocks
show a good many shorts in certain
securities. This, as well as the result
Of the recent California election, had
doubtless something to do with the dc.
preston Of stocks in the earlier part OF
the week. From the quotations it is
also apparent that the shorts did not fill
Monday. There will doubtless DO re-
newed efforts, therefore. 10 dsprcciste
values. Whether these will be success
full or not remains to DO seen. Should
a heavy bear movement prevail. prices
will be brought down below Mondays
quotations. At least, the fact that
shorts were not filled at prevailing rates
then would point toward the contsmpla.
ton Of such q movement.
During the past week . decided ad-
vance has been made on the Comstock
toward objective points, although 1t Is
true that much has not been actually &C.
tually accomplished. Sierra Nevada
still moves slowly on, but q psrceptible
advance has been made toward ore eI-
traction. ophir's incline, too, has re-
NAMED stationary just where interest
centsrs strongly around It, but the 23OO
station, is nearly completed and the for.
ward movement will soon prevail again.
The new north drift, 2lO0 level, will
bear watching. The repairs to the ma.
chinery at the G. 4 G. shaft have been
completed and the usual order Of things
restored to the Bonanza mines. At the
Bullion and Con. Imperial q good ready
has been made for immediate and effec.
tive action. Crown Point and Belcher
are each nearly ready to open up . lower
level. Alta has reached 1t and made its
programme public. Justice and Silver
Hill are also advancing and increasing
in interest. All these are important
steps forward. although directed toward
something which is. yet at least some
weeks IL not months ahead.
The water or the Julia is now being
stored by Mr.. Sutro in the Savage.

Below we give our regular weekly
summary Of the latest and most correct
mining information, derived from official
and authentic sources, showing the sit.

The incline continues to make the
usual progress on down and is without

on tho 1900 level has been commenced
and soon the average amount taken out
will DO 10 tons per day. What ore 10

the whole started up. The water will
then be raised from the bottom Of the
incline to the 1900 level, conducted
thence to this east shaft and there
raised to the 100 level and the main

The work Of chambering out the sta

progressing favorably and will be sufa'

resumed the last OF this week. A DRIFT
has been started north from the bottom
of No. 1 winze from the 1000 70 tho 2l00
level, and is following the ore vein In
that direction. The drift south from
the same point Is in 68 feet, and still
shows good ore in the face. The drift
on the 1000 level, connecting the top Of
the joint Mexican upraiss with main
north drift, has been enlarged and COM

The Osbiston shaft has BEEN shut down
to change the pumps and to set over the
small air compressor at the surface, 30
as to make room for permanent ma
chinery. The drain tunnel was con-
nec.ed with the shaft last Saturday. Its
total length is AGO feet, and its point Of
intersection 140 feet from the surface.
Tomorrow everything will be ready to
pump water into the drain tunnel and
thereafter sinking will make better pro-
gress.
