Nothing has occurred during the past
week to make much Of Q move In the
market and 1t has not moved much.
But many have 1t all axsd up to suit
them now and are hsppy-soms OF them
ct least - in expectation OF coming
events. This Is the way they talk
about il:
"Colonsl Fair will be at home the last
Of the month and Mscksy will then 60
to visit his family. Fair will then say.
What are you doing hsrsi Going to
sleep all along the lodsl Where are all
the msn'' He will then mako things
lively by putting on about . thousand
men and starting q boom in stocks"
And some OF them have talked In this
sort OF way till they believe all they say.
But the next week promises abund.
au,ly. Sierra Nevada will get far
enough north on the $500 level to con-
meet with the Wine from the 2400 level
which was in ore all the way from 80
feet from the top to the bottom. Union
crosscut No. l should show somsthing
also during the week. II 1t Is ever going
to do so. No. 2 is liable to strike within
the week. too. Then the make OF the
vein il such that the drifts north and
south may either or both make into
something at almost any time.
There il no immediate prospect Of
anything along south except in Ophir
and in the DRIFT north and east along the
vein on the $500 level. until Savage is
reached. II that mino was not. as the

short time that be had It, but 1t was not
quite as good as 1t looked. II 1t had

been good enough. And Con. Imperial

ways be so. however.
We can so by Belchsr for the next
four weeks. Alta and Benton Con. are
liable, however. to oon startle people
pleasantly. Silver Hill il itself once
more. and again drifting and dslvips
among what no one can deny are good
prospects. A week may do much in
many places.
