prices generally were better in the North-enders.
which showed an advance under the leadership OF
Con- Cal. Va, which touched $6A on the 2:3O
p NJ. call. The best news from this mine Is that
published by the Virginia ENTERPRISE which says:
The consolidated claims of Con. Virginia and Cal
1fornia are 1910 feet In length. The south lateral
drift on the 100 level, which was run from the
shaft into ore at the top of raise from the 1900
level well toward the south end OF the claims has
recently been taken AM carried to the south line
and connection with north lateral DRIFT from the
Bes Belcher is expected TO be made to-day or to-
morrow. This will give them good air. the very
thing necessary to prospect that level by crosscuts
from the shaft to the south line. What does this
mean? we-informed miners say 1t means that
connection Will be made on the 100 level with the
ophir to the north and the couatry crosscut at in
tervals for Its entire length. and then they Will
sfope upward by degrees until the 500 level is
reached repeating the operation of drifting later
ally and prosecuting nj the intermediate levels
from the Best Belcher to the ophir. 1t Will be
remembered that few years ago the Cen
tral tunnel, which starts MIL street, Immediately
opposite tho ophr shaft TO the south, run 1900
and that work then stopped after putting in
strong bulkhead. The formation to be followed IN
the work OF exploration upward from the llGo
level leads to the found in the Central tunnel
The Rowe ore strike OF many years ago is also a
strike made on the surface it Will be that
the Con Cal. a Va. has an immense block OF min
eral country to prospect before they tickle the
grass roots They have 1910 feet laterally and
from the 1900 level to the surface, giving them
OF about 1000 feet the inclination of the vein
In other words from the groupings the surface To
the 1900 level taking the inclination OF the vein to
be 40 degrees and calculating the groupings TO be
400 feet above rhe cola OF the mine groupings, the
distance is about 1000 feet. This leaves very
respectable block OF mineral country vet to be pros
p cted. AT the present time the Immediate point
of interest is on the 800 level and from that point
10 be done yet i'll this direction TO decide Its pros
poets.
