sarfAes Prspsrssisss The
Fissded Mines.
The movements Of the stock market
OF late have BEEN neither very great nor
Of very marked significance. Even the
best posted mining men Of the Comstock
were heard yesterday inquirns what the
little raise in certain securities that day
meant. They were either as much in
the dark a. the masses or were inquiring
for effect. In the latter case the object
sought Vas not very apparent.
The situation along the lode has not
materially changed during the past week.
except as Q general advance has been
made toward objective ends. Perhaps
the only exception to the foregoing IL In
the q 3 Of the flooded mines, where
alone attachments have been important.
At the Utah they are getting . good
ready for business. In Sierra Nevada
and Union there Is . continued waiting
for the desired connection between the
Union shaft and the 22OO level OF the
former mine-ths $500 Of the latter.
This is the hing pin to the whole situa.
ton at the north end. for nothing can
be done toward developing the ore hnd
In these mines till that connection 10
made and the water encountered run
through to the G. + G. shaft.
But there 10 an immense amount OF
preparatory work going on through the
Ophir shaft. There il sinking to get
ready to crosscut the 24O0 level. Tho
$500 north drift il being pushed with all
energy. Tank and bob stations are be-
ing cut and crosscuts are being run on
the 1000 level all along to the Union
line. The vein is very wide here. and
these workings are being pushed at the
rate OF from 90 to i5 feet per week
towards the west wall. which they are
projected to reach. They may eneoun.
ter no ore. but those best posted In re-
gard to the situation agree that it would
b. ~injudicious to leave so promising q
piece OF ground unprospscted.
In the Bonanza mines. also. an i'm.
menss amount OF work 10 being done.
Some il to open up new ground. and
some to more thoroughly test that left
behind when rich orc abounded.
And on the surface. too. preparations
are mighty. Such foundations a. are
nowhere ON the lode are being laid
for the pumping engine at the Union
shaft. and q pump.hoist has just been
received to be put in place there.
At the G. i G. shaft double lines OF
pumps are being rugged up to the Sutro
tunnel level and q new rod IL going in
from bottom to top.
Immense foundations are being placed
for pumping at the Gould i Curry and
Best x Belchsr new shaft. A pump
hoist is going in there too.
At the Yellow Jacket the foundations
are about ready for the finest hosting

At the Forman shaft excavations are
being made for tho foundations OF the
Overman pumping engine. ons OF the
largest and mos. powerful on the Com
stock. Large and convenient hosting
works are also going up.
These doings are all preparatory to
something yet to come. and those who
are ordering them are not novicss on the
lode. intent merely in expanding ASSESS
usuts and drawing salaries. But most
Of the work going on is aimed at . point
