There were few changes in securities on the morning session. Contra Costa Water declined to §71 62%. Oceanic advanced to $82 7 and Los Angeles Railway 5s to $107 62, On the afternoon call Contra Costa Water de- clined to $70 and Giant Powder to $17 7. Mining stocks were rather lower than on Saturday. The telegram from the pump said: “Second elevator has been running since 10 a. m. yesterday, since then lowering the water 49 feet. At 6:30 this morning the water was 164 feet below the -foot level and 100 feet below the Sutro tunnel drain boxes.” A later | telegram said: “‘The second elevator is work- ing steadily. The water was down 167 feet be- low the 1750-foot level and 193 feet below the Sutro drain boxes at 10:30 this morning. When the first elevator is uncovered we will hold the water at about that point.” The Marguerite Gold Mining and Milling Company of Placer County has levied an as- sessment of 10 cents per share, delinquent June 12. ¢ The Badger Hill and Cherokee Gravel Mining Company of Nevada County has levied an assessment of $3 per share, delinquent June T. The Gwin mine has declared its fifth divi- dend, amounting to $3000, and making a total to date of $61,500. The stockholders have elected the following directors and officers for the en- suing year: F. F. Thomas, president; C. Benedict, vice president; J.'J. Crawford, sec- retary; directors, E. C. Voorheis, C. M. Bel- haw, David McClure Jr. and Dion C. Hyland. At the Osbiston shaft of the Best & Delcher and Gould & Curry mines they have been re- pairing the hoisting engine and building brick work for the bollers. Sutro tunnel level—The water has fallen in ‘the shaft 3 feet 7 inches the past week; tptal depth below the station, 76_feet 1 inch. In the Sierra Nevada mine on the 140-foot Jevel the north lateral drift was advanced 6 feet; total length, 257 feet; face in quartz show- ing clay strips through it. Started a west crosscut in the north lateral drift at a point 231 feet north from the switch and advanced the same 10 feet; face in porphyry and quartz. 900- foot level—The north driit started from the west end of west crosscut 2 has been advanced 10 feet; total length, 50 feet: face in poryphyry. In the Consolidated California and Virginia mine during the past week on the 1400-foot level the west drift was extended 15 feet; total length, 520 feet. The face is in harder and dry hanging wall rock. For three shifts no work has been done in this drift, as the men were taken to repair a cave in the Sutro tun- nel. 1630-foot level—Repairs to airway above this level have been completed. On this level there are several drifts that will have to be kept open, as they lead to winzes and raises that are used for airways. These drifts and connectlons require extensive repairs. 1760-foot level—The south drift from the west crosscut passing the winze has been cleared out and re- ired for 92 fect. This is the drift referred to n last week's report as leading to the winze from which the 1500-foot level was first opened. Work has been continued from the winze sta- tion. The water in this winze has fallen during the week 12 inches. The work of repairing the | i Strawberries, $4@6 per chest for small | and $3@3 50 for large berries; Raspberries, n@l Cherries, 25@50c for red, 35@75c for white and | §%@dc for light medium, 10%@ilc for Mght, 12 | for sugar cured; | in | | waste chutes from the 1650-foot level to the Sutro tunnel level has been continued. In the Ophir mine, in the old Central tunnel ground, the second crosscut from the north- east drift has been extended 3 feet; total length, 52 feet. At this point the crosscut was stopped, leaving the face in hard footwall rock. Before ‘reaching the hard footwall the cross- cut passed through a clay seam dipping east. On the east side of the clay there is an §- inch seam of quartz carrying lron sulphides of an assay value of less than $1 per ton. The northeast drift has been advanced 9 feet: total length, 236 feet. The drift is being turned to the north, the face now being in the hanging wall (a mixture of clay and porphyry), and will continue turning to a northerly course until it enters the vein, and then will be run north in the vein. The Sutro tunnel connection was ex- tended § feet: total length, 123 feet; face is in bhanging wall rock showing irregular _clay seams and the rock breaking better. Work has been continued on the quartz stringers, the winze extended § feet (total depth 13 feet), and | a southwest drift started and advanced 3 feet. The quartz continues in the winze, showing a vein of 12 inches in the bottom. The south- west drift In the same stringer run on the tun- nel level shows 12 inches of quartz with spots of ore. The mass of the quartz in the Winze and In the southwest drift is of no value. All the work in the Ophir was delayed for three shifts by a cave in the Sutro tunnel that has since been repaired. In the Hale & Norcross mine the old tunnel at the hoisting works has been cleaned out and repairsd 65 feet from its mouth. In the Chollar and Potosi mines on May 11 they begim grading and laying track from the mouth of the Chollar and Potosi joint west tunnel to the dump.

The Debt of London. The Finance Committee of the I, County Council have just prepared u:droer: turn showing for the year 1S97-8, the charge on the rates of each parish in the County of London and the apou; loans outstanding for which eag;: p’;‘ztri;rs is liable in respect of parish loans, union loans, district loans, and central and coun- ty loans, together with the equivalent rate in the pound of the charge and' the percentage of the loans outstanding to the ratable value of the parish. A mem- orandum f{s Freflxed to the return which summarizes the detail and shows for each class of local authority and for all Lon- don the total charge in respect of loans and the total amount of loans outstand- ing, tn:\eth:r with a division of the total charge between interest and repayment. The total debt of London secured on the rates is now £40,870,639, and involves charge on the rates of £2.595,244§slzl which £1,188,560 is interest and £1,407, repay- ment. The total debt is equivalent to 11314 per cent of the ratable (annual) value, | and the charge is_equal to an average rate over all London of 1s 5%d in the | pound.
