Yesterdays trading on the mining ex-

smaller stocks. Few of the high priced
securities participated, and the totals
footed up rather light, compared with
recent transactions.
The bears were still after Grand Cen
trail. The highest bid for it was S7.26,
while holders would not loosen their
hold for less than S7.65. Mammoth was
in fairly good condition, but had
weaker tendency towards the close.
Northern Light was the center for
considerable movement, but prices fell
off and the stock went considerably
under 40 cents a share. Tetro COM
manded fairly good prices. Tesora was
listed on the exchange for the first time.
The stock was offered at 81, and 50A
was bid for it, with no sales recorded.

STATELINE PRODUCTION.
A Shipment From the Ophir Goes
Over $500 to the Ton.

The initial shipment of ore from the
Ophir mine, in the Stateline district,
under the management of R. j. Evans
has arrived, and was sampled at the
TaylOr-Brunton works yesterday. The
lot consisted of only fifty sacks, and
was sent here, for the purpose of samp-
ling, to determine the future move
ments of ore from the property.
The returns were exceedingly graft
flying TO the local officers, and showed
an average of 1872 ounces silver. 80
ounces gold and per cent lead, max
ing the ore run little over $500 to the
ton.
Manager Evans stated yesterday that
the shaft is being pushed down as rap
idly as possible with two shifts. The
hish-grade ore is being sorted for ship
ment, and that of a low grade, of which
there is large body, IS being saved for
milling purposes.
Under recent development the mine
has opened up most handsomely. and
Mr.. Evans says steps will be taken at
once towards the erection of a mill at
the mine. In the meantime all the ship
ping ore will be forwarded to the mar
ket.
