The weekly reports from the Comstoek
follows: Consolidated California and Virginia
No ore was extracted from the 1850 level during
| the past week, they were engaged In repairing
stope on the ninth floor. which is one floor above
that level This drift shows a slight secpage of
water Tho extraction of ore from this part OF the
mine VIII be resumed this week. On the I1oO
level the vertical uprase from the end of the west
crosscut from the south drift from the southeast
formation. assaying from 80 to $3 per ton From
the south drift the sill floor Of this level, at
point 106 feet In an upraise. to be known as No.
2, has been started, and the top is in ore averag-
Ing $23 20 per ton. On the tenth floor of the 1850
| slopes the openings north and south are 70 feet
In length. At the north end of the stope on this
moor. east OF the tmbers of former workings, they
which assays from $40 10 $40 per ton Near the
south end OF tho stope on the west side. they have
ing feet in width in the top and assaying $40
10 $oO per ton. From this point they have begun
| feet In width assaying $40 per ton.
From the ninth, tenth and eleventh floors during
the past week they extracted 14l tons of ore, the
average assay value of which, per samples taken
from the cars in the mine, $35 40 per ton The
average assay value from samples taken from the
cars when raised to the surface S35 So per ton.
On the 1000 level of the old Con. Virginia shaft the
north drift from the shaft station was ad vanced 36
feet pr ssing through a porphyry and clay forma-
ton. The total length OF this drift up the night
of October was 4S feet.
the uprase 80 feet above the sill floor of the 1465
level has total length of 25 feet and is officially
assaying from so cents to 81 per ton. In the Cen
tral tunnel workings of the Ophr the north drift
the old Mexican shaft is in 65 feet. The face is in
porphyry and quartz assaying from 75 cents to 81
per ton The west crosscut from the northwest
drift from the west crosscut from the top OF the up
raise II feet above the tunnel level has been
tended l3 feet total length ~ feet passing through
broken ground into solid quartz formation, which
gives an average assay value of 81 so per ton
In the Hale & Norcross mine, on the 975 level,
the ore streak on which they are stoping in up
raise l continues small, but the ore Is of high
grade. In upraise the ore streak looks well in
the roof and also at each end of the set the
ond floor. The small streak of ore which they have
been following in the intermediate level below the
975 level does not look so well. They extracted
from all the openings during the past week 2S
loads OF ore, averaging per mine car sample assay
In the Chollar mine they saved during the past
week 10 tons and 800 pounds OF ore, which is &C
cumulating on the dumps
In the Potosi mine during the week they con-
tinued the raise above the north drift from the
crosscut On the $50 level for ten floors, at which
point the pay streak pinches. They opening on
the fifth and sixth floors north and on the sixth
| and seventh floors north and south from which
point they saved during the week 266 tons and
1900 pounds OF ore, the average battery sample OF
which was $35 u per ton. Shipped two bars OF
crude bullion.
KENrUcK-The Wine being sunk the east
ledge on the 100 level is down 81 feet; sunk dur
| ing the week eight feet The bottom Is in ore
saying 30 TO So per ton
| ALTA-Since last report the north crosscut s25
level was advanced 10 feet, total length 18 feet;
| still in vein matter of low assay value.
The south lateral Drift same level, was extended

started at the face this morning; the face is in

bunches Of pay ORE bottom in quartz, with punches

| The southwest drift from west crosscut has been
extended seven feet total length SO feet: face in
| hard porphyry.
| The northwest drift has been extended IA feet,
total length 423 feet: face is in clay, quartz and
| porphyry, the quartz showing some value.
$50 level-The northwest crosscut on this level,

| the 500 level has been extended 20 feet, total
] length 1876 feet: face in vein porphyry.
On the Brunswick lode shaft ] on Hale & Nor
cross ground near the Chollar north boundary has
been sunk and timbered for distance OF feet on
the incline formation OF quartz and porphyry
showing some value; total depth l55 feet. Shaft
q on the boundary of the Con. Cal. & Virginia and
Best & Belcher mines has been sunk and tmbered
fo distance Of feet on the incline; total depth
106 feet bottom in porphyry. Tunnel on Savage
ground started at point rs feet north of Sutro
tunnel shaft has been extended 1S feet, passing
through clay, porphyry and quartz; total length
