Phenomenal Rise In Share Values Un.
der Impetus Of Find In 0phir.
The rise in shares continues and
every board shows an advance in
prices all along the line. Ophir opened
at IS in the morning, and advance OF
nearly 300 per cent over the opening
quotations Of week ago. The predic-
ton has been freely made and is in q
fair way to be fulfilled that the stock
will reach $40.
From all that can be learned the ore
body continues to improve in size
and value. The official report to be pub
lished tomorrow will doubtless con-
tain good news for the lucky holders
OF the stock. There is room for the de-
velopment Of big ore body in the
territory through which the ledge
runs. So far as known, no work has
ever been Qone in that quarter before,
and should the same ledge be encoun-
tered on the 1900 level, the scenes OF
SO are likely to be repeated. All things
are favorable for the existence Of tbs
ledge on the last named level as il
was found on the corresponding level
Of the Co. Virginia.
Shares all along the line advanced
in sympathy, with some Of the heavi-
est trading in years. Eight mines are
now quoted above the dollar mark,
with several others ready to climb
over.
In connection with the outlook IN
Ophir, it may be stated that the ore

company to properly stage the produc-

man and his faults, and moves from
scenes Of fashionable life in uptown

end crime. Paul Weston is a young
man in the employ of a wealthy bro
ker, Mr.. Harcourt. Incidentally he Is
also the secretly welded husband Of
Mr.. Harcourt's pretty daughter, Madeli

stances brought him to the rich bro

in prison for another mans crime, but,

THE COMING oEcTioh.
General Aiming Revival 60 the South
Of Carson.

Of Casoon.
Facts are coming to light every day
hat point to the biggest kind Of q
mining revival to the south OF this
section. Hardly . day passes but that
some word comes in from the various
properties that are being worked AMI
in every instance good reports are re-
seived.
1t was only yesterday that word
came In from John Porterheld carrv-
ing the news that rich strike had
been made in the claim adjoining the
one owned by Messrs. Porterfield &
Robinson Of this city. The ore that
has been uncovered comes from
large vein and assays into the hun
dreds of dollars. A great deal Of Car
son money is invested out that way
and it now looks like returns are OF
far away
At Loope the new mill and cyanide
works are ready for operation. This
property has abundance of lore N
sight and the returns of last summer
stamped it as mine. The eastern
people who have furnished the cash
to carry on the development and con-
struction stand in the shadow OF great
returns, as the quantity and quality
Of their ore has greatly improved since
the first mill was erected.
At the Golden Gate, there is a
mine. This property is a bullion pro-
Queer and it was ony few days ago
that go to the value of nearly $4,000
was brought in. During the summer
months several bars Of bullion We're
brought in and when the new tunnel
is completed, this property can be
looked forward to as one Of the big
events out that way. Several Carsonites
have holdings in the same Locality and
they will, when the spring opens de-
velop, as the surface indications are
the same as that of the Golden Gate.
Old Aurora is coming in for share
Of attention. 1t is now proposed to
unwater the great mines Of that dis
is in the hands of Mr. Cain. the Bodie
banker, and a number of his assOci-
ates. They are all practical men and
should they carry out the proposition
there, is no telling how much golden

PROGRESS or THE CANAL.
8tsts photographer Taylor Gives the
Facts.

Respecting the great Irrigation pro-
ject of the Truckee River. Engineer
Taylor gives the following interview:
'The present operations are only
part Of a greater plan for the utilix-
alton Of the waters of the rivers CT
Nevada for the irrigation Of it's arid
valleys and plains. They involve the
conserving and diverting Of the wat
ers of the Truckee and Carson rivers
and will eventually bring 250,O00 acres
under cultivation. OF this land a part
is private property but in some valleys
the major part is government land.
The canal which diverts the water
from the Truckee is now being con-
structed under contract, and will when
completed supply water to 100000 az
res directly, 20 per cent Of which is
now government land.

4 Persistent Rumor,

There vas a rumor on the street
yesterday afternoon that the Ophir
mine had broken into bonanza sroun /.
and that there was one Of the richest
bodies exposed that has been shown
since the discovery in Con. Virginia in
1886. A telephone message from Vir-
GINA yesterday stated that rich ore
had been uncovered and big body #
it. The fact that Ophir reached $3.50
yesterday seems to bear out the theory
that something Of an unusual nature is
being uncovered.
