The result was a dull and apa market, with the t,ears nibbling here and there ; ■ . veak points in the list. They were not aggressive in their tactics and did not ■': slodge any large amounts of stocks, - • bee« ming practically stagnant irt Belling was desisted from.

Securities were quieter than for some time on the morning session, and the only change wor thy of note was a slight advnce in Contra Costa Water to $71. /'i;- ' Business continued quiet in the afternoon at ; about the morning's quotations. ■ The feeling in mining stocks was firmer and prices made a general but slight advance. The telegram from the pump said: "We are run ning the second elevator on half time, keeping the water just above the 1930 foot level. The first elevator has been changed, and is now in place, ready for lowering. We expect to have it lowered and working again by the end of this week." The Alta Mining Company has levied an assessment of 5 cents per share. The Pacific Gas Improvement Company has sent out notices to the effect that the divi dend in June will be 40 cents per share. The company has been paying 50 cents per share ! monthly for several years. In the Ophir mine, in the old Central tunnel ground, the direction of the northeast drift has been changed to a north course, following the hanging wall, and it is now out 270 feet, with the face in a well defined clay wall, with a mixture of quartz and porphyry. In the bottom of the drift they find quartz with sul phides of copper and iron, assaying $2 10 per ton. They have started and driven 7 feet an east crosscut from the north drift 95 feet, south of the Mexican shaft, for the purpose Of learning the exact position of the walls of the vein In this neighborhood, as statements have recently been made by old miners that an old vein exists to the east and north of the present workings, measuring from the ! Mexican shaft. The Sutro tunnel connection was extended 15 feet; total, 13$ feet: face In hard hanging wall rock that Is now showing thin clay seams that cause the ground to break better when blasted. Work has been continued on the quartz stringers, and the southwest drift extended 7 feet; total length. 10 feet, with the quartz stringer between the clay walls still In the face showing no ore. They will drift on this stringer for some distance, and if noth ing of value is found, will then sink the winze deeper and prospect the ore that they have found on the southwest side of the winze. The following work was done in the Consol idated California and Virginia mine during tn>» past week, under the auspices of the Comstock Pumping Association: 1400-foot level— west drift has been extended 18 feet, total distance from C. & C. shaft, 688 feet. The face is in dry soft hanging wall rock. This drift has to be driven Jfi7 feet further west before reaching the east end of crosscut No. 2 from the 1400 --foot level of the Consolidated Virginia shaft 1650-foot level—The drifts connecting with winzes from this level to the 1700-foot level are being repaired to keep airways open. 1750-foot level— The south drift from the west crosscut has been extended « feet, total length 93 feet. The force of miners has been engaged In shaft work for nearly all the past week, so that but little work has been done In this drift- a few defective sets of timbers in the main west drift have been repaired during the week The winze station was to have been finished May 20. The hoisting engine to- be run by com pressed air is in place, and the air pipe If on the surface, ready for lowering into the shaft 1800-foot level— The opening and partial develop ment of this level is fully described in the an nual reports of the Consolidated California and Virginia Company for the years 1891. IS!>2 and 1393. From these reports they learn .that no connection was made with the winze leading to the 1850- foot and 1960-foot levels. The plan that is now being carried out has in view the open ing of the 1800-foot level, the recovery of th winze from which the 1800-foot was first open- i ed, and a connection to be made with th» winze sunk from the 1750 to the 1950 When these connections have been made the known low-grade quartz bodies can b» further devel oped and such ore as will pay for extraction mined. As the C. & C. shaft will he required for the work of the pumping association an in expensive hydraulic hoist can be placed In the chutes that are now , USe ? for taking Waste roc* from the 1860-fotf level to. the Sutro tunnel and all the waste from the 1750-foot level and nil points that ore to be reached through the winze which la now equipped for work" can be sent through the chutes of the Sutro tun nel hOn the surface the preparatory work of overhauling the main hoisting engine is being given all possible attention ■ ■ ■ iJ'\ the Sierra Nevada mine on the 140-foot level the north lateral drift is out 26G feet, with the face in quartz. The west crosscut which is out 16 feet, with the face In porphyry, has neen stopped and an east crosscut started op posite the mouth of the west one, which latter crosscut Is out IS feet, with the face In quartz, £}&/, and parser/. .On h.e SJJtoo.ot level thoj. north drift from the west crosscut is out 58 f«*t; the face Is in porphyry. In the Hale & Norcross mine the old Nor cross tunnel hap been cleaned out anil retim herod 52 -feet, making the total distance 117 feet. In the upper tunnel the south drift on the company's Santa Fe ledge has been extended 5 feet, total, 8 feet; formation, quartz. . In the Chollar and Potosi mines the' grading from the dump to the mouth, of the Chollar- Potoel Joint west tunnel : has been completed and track laid. Started " the tunnel and ad vanced the same 10 feet; face in porphyry. Su tro tunnel level— Have placed ten sets of tim bers In the Zadlg drift. ■ dug drain and made necessary repairs from the mouth of drift in a distance of 260 feet. The face is in a cave which has completely filled the drift. • At the Osblston shaft, of .the Best & Belcher and Gould & Curry mines they are putting in a pipe for the purpose of getting water from the Gould & Curry tank. They are still repair ing the engine and building the brickwork .or the boilers. On the Sutro tunnel level the water has fallen in the. shaft 11 fe<?t 5 inches during the week; total. distance below the sta tion. 87 feet 6 inches, or a distance of 34 feet 7 inches since the first measurement on April 9.
