With silver at 6S% cents and lead at
49, the closing quotations yesterday,
there is little chance for any changes of
Importance in the mining situation, but
even these low prices are not preventing
the opera ton of the silver-lead proper
ties which are favorably located. The
great Ontario and Daily continue TO put
out silver bullion and ores; the Alliance
is being thoroughly developed; the DAILY
West is shipping first class ore to the
Germania and storing the second class
rock in anticipation of the early erec-
ton of a concentration; ore shipments
have been resumed from the Silver King
and the stockholders are anticipating an
other dividend within month; the An
Choir is making a great showing and has
several splendid ore bodies in sight; re-
timbering Of the main shaft Of the Horn
Silver having been practically completed
shipments of first class ore are to be re-
stunned, while the concentrator is making
regular runs; Oh account OF the lack OF
water but twenty OF the Enreka-HllI
stamps are dropping on ore and the plant
will not be in full operation again until
the fourth pump is put in; eXcavating for
the mill of the Bulljon-Beck is now in
progress and the company continues to
make its regular rich shipments of ore
from both the Beck and the Almo
ground; within the next few days the
new air compressor of the Centennial

placed in operation, enabling the COM
. pany 10 increase its output; awaiting the
arrival of the pump and the boiler the
twenty add. gional stamps at the Mann
Ngnoth are not being operated.

3Ih the next few days the water from the
upper levels of the Ontario and from the
Daily will be turned into the main drain
tunnel and the Cornish pump will cease
to raise the water to the 1000 foot level.
The grade in the latter level is now near
1y reversed 50 as to enable the water TO
drain back into the main shaft and
has yet been made on the extension of
the drain tunnel from shaft No to
shaft No. 8. but this work is to COM
rnence at once. During the week the On
tario shipped 2S,71i fine ounces OF silver
and the DAILY 20,525 fine ounces. In addi-
ton the Ontario put out Sl0,6G0 in ore
