The stock market remains very quiet
with an occasional spasmodic start oil
some ~f1vorite stocks upward for a few
days, when ii again gradually settles
back to the old figures. 1t Is evident
that the managers have not YET maze
that advancement with the WORK OF de-
velopment which is necessary for back
ing up a strong. steady rise In values
All along the lode, however, the pro-
gress OF work On the lower levels and
the prospects already developed in sew
erai Of the mines. fully warrants the be-
lief that Mt no very distant day We may
look for n return OF the old prosperous
DAYS Of the past.
The progress Of the drifts and wines
ON the lower levels Of the Sierra Nevada
are still very slow on account Of the
want Of power in the air compressors
and blowers now In $ This trouble,
however. will all be done away with In
a very few DAYS. when the big
sor. one Of the largest and best ever
brought to the Comstock. is started up.
The air connection to be shortly made
between the upraise from the 100 level
ani the bottom Of the North Consoli.
dated Virginia shaft will also greatly
assist the work OF greater depth.
At the ophir the development OF the
2iOO aud 2200 levels is going vigorously
forward without any special change Of
interest to report. excepting the air con-
nection made by the south DRIFT on the
2OOO level OF the California. This Is
another opening in the grand chain OF
air drifts now being constructed from
the Savage to the Utah. n aid I'M
mensely in the developments on the
lower levels Of both the Ophir and
California.
Another very valuable air connection
has been made at the Julia mine with
the south branch OF the Sutro Tunnel.
This will enable the draining Of the 1000
level in a very short time, and taking of
the now heavy strain upon the pumping
machinery. will also facilitate the OPEN
inc up OF new levels at still greater
depths.
