Business was dull again in mining stocks at un-
changed prices
The Stock and Bond Exchange made a good
showing. The sugar stocks were strong and active
but weakened somewhat at the close. There was
a sale of $4,000 OF the issue of United States
per cent bonds at 1171a
Bank of California stock sold at 235, the highest
price in several years. and that price was bid for
more with 240 asked.
The yield Of the Overman mine for the week end
Ing February % tons and 1875 pounds of
ore, which extracted from the north drift on
the 900-foot level The assay value of the ore per
car samples was $53 80 per ton On the Hoo. foot
level the Caledonia southwest drift has been ex-
tended 10 feet. Total length 35 feet past east
crosscut l. Formation, porphyry, with seams of
quartz
In the Confidence mine west crosscut from
the surface tunnel is being repaired. Prospecting
IN the crosscuts from the end of the north drift so
feet above the surface tunnel, is still going on.
There were extracted during the week ending Feb
ruary "a twenty carloads of ore, the average top
car sample assay OF which shows assay value
OF $2l per ton.
GRAY EAGLE-During the past week have taken
out 40 feet of bedrock grade of track. Laid 40
feet of track and put up 40 feet of air pipe
and run crosscut feet toward the south vein
Have 312 feet OF milling gravel at the face which
prospects WELL The formation above it is cement
powders and gravel. The surface of the bedrock
has very slight raise up the channel, and every
thing is looking favorable.

eighth floor of the north upraise they are stopping
ore above and below the ill floor of this DRIFT
From the eighth floor of the cast crosscut they
have uprased and connected with the north drift
from the twelfth floor. This connection affords
good ventilation: the upraise is in good ore from
top to bottom.
In the east crosscut at point 35 feet south OF
the north upraise they have started a south pros
pectns drift and advanced the same 12 feet; face
is in low grade quartz. During the week they have
extracted and hoisted 81 cars OF ore from this
level samples average $25 81 per ton
Bullion valued at $l425 has been received from
the Maytiower gravel mine.
AT the weekly executive session Of the San Fran
