There 10 not much to be said OF the
stock market this week. Values are
down /; bat 1t II not because OF anything
at the mines which need to q . de-
preston, unless indeed IL be . marked
improvement.
At the Sierra Nevada the water has
been pumped from the incline till the
$500 level has been freed and Is still
going down. the @. & @. pumps hand
ling readily all that has been sent to
them. giving no occasion to use the
Ophir's bailing apparatus. By another
week the whole accumulation in the in.
cline will DO drawn Of and the workings
ready for q resumption Of operations.
At the Union everything ID prosper
Gus. The 24O0 level DRIFT south and
west from the Sierra Nevada incline and
running under the shaft will DO started
tomorrow. and the diamond dnll hole
will be followed to develop the ore body
there encountered. The situation at
this point Is probably the n Of com.
manding interest at the north end. The
Union shaft 10 being continued on down.
the bottom still in ore giving good as
says. 1t will reach the 2400 level before
the end OF the month.
The situation in 0phir and Mexican
is increasing in importance all the time.
The east drift on the 2l00 level Is in
ore. The value Of the strike has not
been determined. but will DO in Q few
days, when the crosscut will either have
developed an ore body or will have de-
monstrated the strike to be either the
Hardy vein or q stringer from 1t. The
probabilities are. in view OF the situa-
ton. that 1t il the Hardy vein which has
been encountered. But in that case the
strike Is Of considerable consequences. as
II gives 200 feet more in depth OF that
valuable strinssr Of ore and at the same
time affords increased indications OF the
strength and value Of the formation
from which that feeder proceeds and
which is bound to be discovered ooner
or later. The Hardy vein Is very rich.
The main body should be richer.
Another important point Is the joint
connection between the 2loo and $500
levels Of the Ophir and Mexican mines.
which will DO made this week. The
crosscut west. which will then b run,
Is most important, as streaks Of ore have
been encountered both in the joint
winzs from the 2100 level and also in
the joint crosscut west on the 1000 level.
The ophir incline and the orosscut
west on the 24OO level are still interest.
ing. But the main point Of interest,
however, now lies ahead Of the face OF
the crosscut.
The Savage has now such control OF
its water that it can dispose Of 1t a. 1t
p~leases, and will do so in Q very short
time and dispose OF its terrible heat also.
In Julia matters are reaching an in
terssting point and the day Of its de-
liverance is at hand. It will soon DO
drained and thoroughly ventilated.
Workings in the Divide mines are in.
creasiug in Importance. especially the
Bullion winzs. which is improving all
the time. and the crosscuts in EIchsquer
and Con. Imperial.
Drilling In Crown Point Is nearing its
point Of chief interest. Aside from this
and the work Of prospecting tho 1850
lsvsl Of the Alta and Benton. and on the
1900 level Of the Silver Hill. the situa-
ton to the south Is comparatively nm
changed.
Below we give our regular weekly
summary Of tho latest and most correct
mining information, derived from official
and authentic sources, showing the sit
uatiou Of each mine today up to the
time Of going to press:
Julia Consolidated.
The water is kept from the 1000 level
by the donkey pumps and good progress
is being made in putting in the lo.ineh
pluuser; but the heat Is excessive and
the steam fairly parboils the workmen
40 that the work moves slower than was
anticipated. As soon rs this pump Is in
working order the 1000 level will be
cleaned up and work resumed both on
this level and in the Wine from the
1900. The drift to the Ward will also
bs run ahead. This DRIFT has but 80
feet to 90 to reach the Ward shaft, which
will be down to this level by the time
the drift gets to the shaft. When this
connection is made and the WINE from
the 1900 reaches the 1000 level the ven.
tilation Of the mine will DO perfect.
Yellow Jacket.
The north drift on the 2700 continues
in hard. blasting ground with . slisht
ssspage Of water; average progress 8
feet per day; total length ll5 feet. The
south drift. same level. Is still pene-
trating hard. dry rock; total length IS
feet. The incline winze north to con.
meet the $500 level with the 270O is
making good progress, And will probably
reach the latter level during the coming
week. Good progress Is being made in
placing the new hosting engine on Its
foundations. One nylipder 10 In position
and the other is being put in today.
