Buying orders from the Southwest noured Into the pit. and as the market was getting away from the bears they made a savage rush to reinstate themselves, bidding the price up %e at a time.

The water Is | now 188 feet below the foot level and 214 17 feet below the Sutro tunnel drain boxes. The | top of the 1930-foot level station is in good | conditton.” | The Boston and Montana Copper Mining Com- pany paid a dividend of $500,000 vesterday. It is the second dividend paid this year. Total to 000, ¢ Steamship Company will pay a dividend of 50 cents per share June 1. The San Franeisco Gas and Electric Com- pany has declared a dividend of 42 cents per share, payable on June 1. The Giant Consolidated Powder Company has declared a dividend of 50 cents per share, pay- able Jusie 10 The California Powder Works paid a dividend of §1 per share on the 20th. The Central Light and Power Company's first dividend of § cents per share was paid on the 20th. In the Ophir mine, in the Central tunnel workings, the north drifi has been extended 11 feet; total length, 251 feet; face in quartz, clay -and ‘porphyry. The course of the hanging wail clay is nearly due north, and if there is no change In the vourse of this clay we will reach the Mexican south line In 0 feet. The forma- tion that they are now driiting in is very well defined and very like such as ore masses are found in on the Comstock. The east drift, south of the Mexican shaft, was extended 7 feet; total length, 14 feet. At this point an old east’ drift was disclosed that had been filled with waste rock. On a level 56 feet above the Central tunnel and 150 north of the above men- tioned east drift, there is an east drift in whici there are a few small caves damming up water, 80 that the drift cannot be examined until thé water has been drained out. The dams are now being removed and the drift will be examined this week. The object of the work Is to deter- mine whether an east vein exists in the neigh- borhood of tRese old workings. The connect- ing drift on the Sutro tunnel level was ex- tended 16 feet; total, 164 feet; face in hard hanging wall rock. Work has been continued on the quartz stringers, and the southwest drift extended 6 feet; total length, 16 feet; the quartz stringer continues between well defined clay walls and is beginning to show a greater width In the bottom. No ore of any value has been found in this drift for the past week. In the Consolidated Californla and Virginia mine during the past week the Comstock Pumping Association has been engaged in the followinz work at the C. and C. shaft: 1400 level—The west crosseut has been extended 27 feet; total, 563 feet; face in hanging wall rock growing a little harder. There is still 145 feet of this drift to be run before connection can be made with crosscut No. 2 from the 1100 level of the Consolidated Virginia shaft. The force has been increased and the drift will be driven as fast as possible. 1650 level—Necessary re- pairs are being made in the airways on this Jevel. 1750 level—The south drift from the west crosscut has been extended S feet; total dis- tance from point of connection 'with west crosscut, 106 feet; face in old timbers and ore. From this drift 15_cars, or 13% tons, of the gold value of $i372 per ton, have been ex- tracted. The value is divided as follows:-Gold, $1180; silver, $192; sllver calculated at 61 cents per ounce. The point at which they started work in this drift was where it had been bulk- headed to avoid gas and fire during the last working of this level. For the purpose of con- tinuing work south of this dangerous grouna & drift had been run southwest and then again turned south. They now find that the ground and old timbers and charcoal are all thoroughly saturated with the water that they turned into this level from the 1650 level in March last. As mear as can be determined from the old maps and records there is a chance of finding @ fair sized ore body in this neighborhood. The maps show that the mass of ore stoped be- tween the 1500 and 1750 levels was 235 feet south of the winze that they have just equipped for work. The ore that they have been extracting is 0 feet east of the north and south drift on the 1800 level. No west crosscut 1s shown upon the map at this point and no reference is mage in the reports of such a c%cm. The easterly dip of the vein is not enough to have carried the ore far enough east to have been exposea by the 1800 north and south drift. The shaft men have been engaged during the week in lowering the first elevator with its sections of pressure and discharge plpes, so that it hag not been possible to install the new line of f-inch air pipe in the shaft. This they hope to do_before they shut down to repalr the main hoist. In the Slerra Nevada mine, on the 140-foot level, the north lateral drift was advanced to a total length of 273 feet. The face §s In low grade quartz. East crosscut No. 1 fs out 54 feet. The face is in clay. On the 900-foot level the north drift from the end of west crosscut date, $10, per | i No. 2 is out 66 feet. The face is in clay and quartz. At the Osbiston shaft of the Best & Belcher and Gould & Curry mines they have started to erect the gallows frame. The water raised 1n the shaft 14 feet 9 inches the past week. Total depth below the station, 72 feet 9 inches. The cause of this raise was a cave some distance above the station that has deranged the plat- form over which they conducted the water to the Sutro tunnel drain flume. This will soon be repaired. In the Chollar and Potosi mines the joint west tunnel has been advanced during the week 40 feet; total length, 50 feet; face in porphyry. Sutro tunnel level—The Zadig drift has been cleaned out and.retimbered 2) feet during the week; total, 250 feet; face in badly caved ground. INVESTMEN T BOARD. Morning Session.
