They are lower at San Diego and Seattle, however, and the East- ern market is liable to go to pleces any mo- ment, so the present prices are not expected to last fong.

The week opened with an animated market for local securities and fluctuations were nu- merous. Higher prices were paid for Mutual Eleétric, Hawailan Commercial and Alaska Packers’, while Contra Costa Water and Gas and Electric declined. On Saturday the big Comstock pump was stopped to repalr a defective pipe and the wi- ter rose twenty feet. The -market yesterday responded by declining to suit the occasion, as will be seen by the list of sales. At présent it 1s not a mining stock, but a pump market. ~After the morning session, however, prices be- gan to recover and were higher in the after- noon. The daily telegram from the pump was as follows: ‘‘Water raised . In shaft twenty- three feet since the pumps shut down on Sat- urday. It is now thirty feet below the 1750- foot level. Expect to resume pumping to-mor- it i The officlal report of the operations in the Consolidated California and Virginia mine for the week eénding February 25 is as follows: At 1899, the C. and C. shaft as the water was lowered below the foot 1 the shaft has been clewned out and reopened and part of the old plpe removed from the pump compartment. The shaft below the water {s found to be in fair condition, requiring but few new timbers. The lagging and centers will have to be re- moved. ~ Work on the dynamo and electric in- stallation have been continued. 1400-foot level— 112 feet of the west drift has been cleaned out ‘and repaired, making a total distance of 192 feet. As there i8 a little water yunning from the hanging wall in this drift a drein and pipes have been provided to carry it into the eneral drainage system ‘leading to the Sutro unnel. All machinery in good order. In the Ophir mine the north drift from the 01a Central tunnel openings was extended nine teet and cut into an old west drift, which will be ventilated and examined. It could be seen that no tsoping had been done in the old drift, and before the north drift ran into it theré had been a decided improvement in the character and value of the vein, an average sample assaying $2 10 in gold and two ounces silver, while a selected sample assayed $ 10 In gold and 14.2 ounces silver. The dritt will be continued in the vein- beyond the old crosscut. On the Sutro tunnel level the work preparatory to dritting will be completed as oon a8 pos- stble. In the Unfon Consolidated mine the north drift, from the top of the raise 266 feet above the W0 level -was advanced 10 teet; total 66 eet; face in quartz and porphyry. In the Slerra Nevada mine the north drift, started at a point 457 feet northwest from the 0-foot level station of the shaft, was the week: total yry. On the %00. level the south drift from the top of eighty feet above this level, was ad- ? o feet during the week: total, -three feet: face in clay and porphyry. he Utah Consolidated mine work was 4 in the main west drift, and at a point 120 feet north they started a northwest drift and advanced same sixteen feet through hard porphyry. In the Osblston shaft of the Best & Belcher and Gould & Curry mines they have been re- moving rock and old timbers from the sta- tion at the point of connection with the Sutro tunnel. As there s & large quantity of this materinl the track s being arranged to commodate the tunnel cars that' will be used in this drift in future. Tn the Chollar and Potosi mines no work was done on the surface or underground Aduring the past week The delinquent assessment sale of the Hnals & Norcross Mining Company will be held to- day, . "fhe annual' meeting of the Standard Con. solidated Mining Company, of Bodie was held yesterday, with 165,936 of the 175,000 shares of outstanding stock represented, the remaining 21,600 shares being in the treasury.

It Is loaded with chlo- ride of zinc, and if the material were worn next the skin without washing, the consequences would probably be serious. The effect of this adulteration is shown by the report on the Birmingham case which has created so much attention. Some weeks have elapged since over sixty men employed in clearing away the snow in the streets were invalided in conse- quence of skin irritation produced by the chloride of zinc washed out from 'their overcoats and overalls. What effect flan- nelette treated with the same chemical would have upon the delicate skin of wo- men and children we leave to the imagi- nation of the reader.—London Ware- houseman and Draper. e NOTICE TO MARINERS.
