STRIKE IN THE NORTH END.
What is Supposed to be in sierra Nevada
and Union Con.

mOrs of a strike in the Sierra Nevada
The reports which came down located
the ore in the north drift of Sierr
Nevada. Several CIPHER dispatche
were received and a good many mer
cursed their stars that it was Admission
day and they could not buy. It wa
held that the news OF the strike had
been kept back until Admission day tC
have it pretty we'll known before the
shorts could get to cover. The Chronicle
of last night has the following.
An excitement was caused to-day by
reports of ore being struck in the Union
Con. and Sierra Nevada mines. Rumor
located the new strikes in the north
crosscuts Of the Sierra Nevada and in
the Union winEe. These reports grad
ually grew until it was stated that all
north end had encountered ore. No
one pretended to say what the assays
thing good had been struck
AS the San Francisco stock boards
are not in session to-day, it being Cal
ifornia's Admission Day, it was impes-
sible for spectators to secure the de-
sired shares in the regular way, so a
sort of bushWhacking fight at short
range was at once begun. R. B.
Mitchell offered John GilIig Sl7 share
for 100 shares Of Sierra Nevada, but Mr.
Gillig declined to sell for less than $50
share. He holds the stock at last
accounts.
Joseph R. Ryan Of Ryan & Co., stock
brokers, was questioned with reference
to the rumors. He said that he had
heard a great many rumors OF improve
ments, but none Of them specifically
located the particular points where
anything had been struck.
Mr.. Frankel, another stock broker,
said that he had heard that good ore
was struck to-day in the Sierra Nevada
north drift. He knew nothing definite,
however, having obtained his informa
ton from street rumors.
A reporter called upon Superintend-
emit James G. Fair. In reply to the
questions propounded he replied that
it was impossible to give any informa-
ton at this time. Being pressed, he
said "What is the use of saying any
thing at this time? The Board is not
in session to-day, anyhow"
Reporter-The stock board doesn't
make any difference to the people. 1t
is the mine they are anxious to learn
about.
Mr.. Fair-Yes the board does make
a difference. That's what makes some
of them that are short feel so uneasy.
Colonel Fair seemed to be in a merry
mood, and was evidently we'll pleased
abont something.
The FooHight says: At last pretty
well confirmed rumor comes forth from
the Sierra Nevada mine that Gre has
been struck. At last hey? Rumor says
that the genial and affable Col. Fair
said lately about the following: "The
boys tell me that this man Patton has
covered over some ore in Sierra Nevada
Now, this is not right. It's all wrong.
l will look into Mr.. Patton's little game.
My son, I shall HINT for ORE" The re-
suit is said to be that the Colonel has
an unexpected (?) ore body.
Our streets are full of rumors of strike,
and the prospects of boom in the north
end when the stock market opens are
excellent. There is ore in Sierra
Nevada. boys, and don't you forget it.
Let them show it up!
The miners at the Sierra Nevada and |
Union, after coming up out of the
mines, are made to empty their lunch
.ans. What does this mean?"
Left Over.
