There was no excitement yesterday. business
was quieter, and there were no fluctuations TO
speak Of Hale Il Norcross sold at 81 90d,2, Con.
Cal. & Virginia sold at 50 S5@2 80, Best u
Belcher at $l@1 10, Ophir at 81 60@1 S. and so

NOTES
Patrick Kervin, 81 perintendent of the Best &
Belcher and Gould & Curry mines and of the opera
tons on the Brunswick lode, is in the City.
II. V. Dey, private secretary to John w. Mackay,
says that Mr.. Mackay will remain upon this coast
two three months. Mr.. Mackay may visit the
Comsock lode.
ent Kervins official report OF last weeks opera
tons the Brunswick lode "Shafs No. on Hale
& Norcross around near the Choliar north boun-
Diary has teen sunk and timbeIed for distance OF
10 feet the incline; formation of quartz snd
porphyry giving low assets; total depth 81 feet.
Shaft No 2 on the boundary OF Con- Cal. & Vir-
ginia and Best ds Be cher mines has been sunk
and timbered for distance OF IA feet on the in
cline; bottom in soft porphyry. Tunnel No. on
Savage ground, started at point rs feet n nth OF
Sutro tunnel shaft No. 3, has been extended 40
of gu artz: total depth 120feet."
In the Occidental Con- nina punches OF pay ore
continue to be cut on the 550-foot level.
Con CAL IL VIIeINIA-1650 lovel--On eleventh
floor (the third floor OF this level) in opening made
at point S5 feet in from mouth OF drift south
from east crosscut from drift south from south
end of slope ninth floor have opened out Space
equal to three square sets of timbers. From square
set in northeast corner OF this space have worked
west one square set and south therefrom one
square set.
From north end of this space on west side have
appraised 5 feet on twelfth floor in that assays
$40 TO $50 per ton. These top openings continue
! to show ore averaging feet in width, and along
west side it Will assay from $50 to $35 per ton.
The dip OF ore is TO the east. South end OF
eleventh floor in quartz of low value. Have ex-
tracted from this locality SO tons of average
assay value per sample taken from car in mine
1850 1evel-South drift started from end of
southeast drift sill floor Of this level at point
where connection was made by uprase with
fonrth floor of stope above has been advanced "a
feet; total length 100 feet, in quartz formation
assayng from SO to so per ION.
From seventh and eighth floors on west side
near to timDers OF old workings have extracted So
tons OF ore, average assay value OF which per sam
pies taken from cars in mine was S3S "a per ton.
Have extracted in all during week 1885 tons of
ore, average assay value of which, per samples
taken from cars when raised TO surface, was 3S U3
per ton.
From the Hale & Norcross mine during the week
they extracted 30 cars of Ore assaying per car
sample $62 45 per ton. The official letter states
that the ore in the southwest DRIFT the 975 level
is increasing in width and is now five feet wide in
the face assaying from $40 to $50 per ton.
From the Chollar mine they extracted and sent
to the Nevada mill 33 tons and 500 pounds of ore,
the average top car sample OF which assayed S35
per ton. All the ore in the dumps has been mled
and the average battery sample of 1t was $32 So
per ton. The clean up of bullion. the par value OF
which was $705S TO- has been shipped. The south
drift from the east crosscut so feet below the $50
level Is in porphyry AMI quartz OF no value. The
raise from No. crosscut 450 level is up seven
floors and has encountered old filings in the top.
There is streak of on the south side OF the
raise which runs from s inches to feet wide,
assayipg from $40 to $40 per ton which they save.
In the Potosi mine the raise from the north drift
| from the east crosscut $50 level is now up two
floors: the west side of the is in quartz which
is believed 10 be the bottom of the same streak cut
In the northwest drift from the Wine 80 feet above;
| the quartz gives assays OF 81 and $l4 per ton.
| The official reports of the work done in the
Oph1r, Mexican and Union Con. mines for the past
week chiefly contain figures of distances run, but
do not speak of any improvements No changes
are reported in the Sierra Nevada, Andes, Best d
| Becher or Gould & Curry mines.
The Virginia Chronicle says: The Hale d Nor
cross shows promising condition of affairs in hat
mine. There two points that are very interest
| ing. The southwest drift the 975 level Is one,
| and it shows very pretty development. The belt
| Of ore here now is feet wide, and 1t assays 500
per ton. Last week it was but streak and the in
crease in its size during the week was very ma
steriai The second point is at streak OF ore on
the intermediate level. The vein is narrow here,
| but the ore runs up TO $6S per ton.
superintendent Keryin has arranged to do his
hosting upon the Brunswick lode by steam power
instead of by water To bring the water in through
large mains would involve considerable expense,
besides delay, and it is desirable TO quicken the
work of development as well as to keep down the
