Paauhau Plantation advanced to $43 50, Giant Powder to $65 50, Contra Water to $71 12, Hawaiian Commercial to $105 and Hutchinson to $34 25. The general tone of the market was strong. In the afternoon Hawalian advanced an- other point, but others of the leaders showed | some weakness. Mining stocks were vance of a few cents. stronger at an ad- The telegram from the pump said: “Elevator working _steadily. Water in the 1750 level winze is 31 feet 4 inches below the station. The second eleva- tor arrived last night.” The following ore shipments were made by rail from the mines of Bureka district, Ne- vada, for the week ending April 21: Dianiond mine, 68,340 pounds; Bureka Consolidated, 138,- 730; Jackson, 67,460; Joe Flynn-Mineral Hill, 36,000. ' Annual meetings are announced as follows: North Star Mining Company, May 10; Origi- nal Empire Mill and Mining Company, May 10; Union Gold Mining Company, May 6; Grass Valley Water Company, May 10; East Sierra Nevada Mining Company, May §. At the Consolidated California and Virginia mine during the past week the C. and C. shaft has been cleaned out and all necessary repairs made for a depth of 3§ feet below the 1850 level, the shaft being ready to receive the new elevator. On the surface work has been continued on the hoisting engine for the 1750 winze and the compressor to be used for work below that point. 1400 level—The west drift has been extended 17 feet; total distance west from C. and C. shaft, 470 feet. The face is in soft hanging wall rock, showing less water than for the past two weeks. 1630 level—The bulkhead of brick and cement to retain the water from the upper levels has been com- pleted. The raise from this level to the drift connecting with ‘the Ophir shaft has been cleaned out and the connecting drift is being repaired, as this drift and ralse must be kept open for ventilation. The pipe system from the 1650 down through the old stopes connect- ing with the northwest passage on the 1750 is being repaired, so that the water may be carried into the old stopes through to the gouth end of the stopes. 1750 level—The winze station is being repaired and put in order to receive the compressed air hoist. The water fn the winze Is now 20 feet below the sta- ion. In the Best & Belcher and Gould & Curry mines, in the Osbiston shaft connection, a light platform has been built on the Sutro tunnel level to catch up water falling down the shaft, and a fair percentage of the water is caught up and sent out to the Sutro tun- nel. The water has fallen in the shaft during \ 50 Con Cal & V...165 300 Overman ....... 200 Con Imperial... 02 100 Sierra Nev... 300 Gould & Curry. 38 200 Yellow JacKet..

Total depth below station, 70 feet 4 inches. They have removed the boiler from the Bonner shaft to this shaft and have started in the collar of the shaft getting timbers in place preparatory to repairing the shaft. In the Sierra Nevada mine, on the 140 level, the raise started in the north drift at a point 223 feet morth from the west drift to connect with the Riley tunnel has been advanced 21 feet; total height, 79 feet; top in porphyry and clay, with seams of quartz through it. 900 level —The north drift started in west crosscut 2 has been advanced 12 feet; total length, 20 feet; face in a mixture of porphyry and clay. In’ the Ophir mine, in the old Central tunnel workings, the second crosscut from the north- west drift was extended 5 feet; total, 30 feet. In the last five feet the formation has changed. After passing through solid quartz a seam of black clay was found, beyond the clay a mixture of clay, quartz and porphyry, and now in the face more quartz is found. In the west drift an air passage has been opened, giving much better air. This drift was cleaned out for 13 feet; total, 139 feet, through very heavy ground that required care- ful timbering. They have a few sets now to put in before the ground will be all caught up. The Sutro tunnel connection was _ex- tended 12 feet; total, 9% feet; face in hard hanging wall rock. The drift northeast from the Sutro tunnel, following a stringer of quartz, has been extended 4 feet; total length, 12 feet. The quartz still continues through the formation and Is irregular. The walls of this stringer are now mixed with quartz. There is a well-defined clay seam on the footwall of the quartz stringer. BTOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE. MONDAY, April 242 p. m. Bid.
