276 The Mining andl Seientific Dress. ¥rom the Stock Circular of Associated Brokers of the 8. F. Stock & Exchange Board. San Francisco, Sarurpay Mornine, November 4th, 1865. A more active demand prevails for moncyin Bank and upon the street, but the requirement is not yet of sufficient urgency to materially affect current rates of interest for acceptable securities, ur to impede the negotiatione nf parties in good credit. Without any appearance of stringency, there is an evident tendency to 2 higher rauge of quotations for money. ‘The deposits iu the different banking institattons of this city do not probably exceed 35,000,000 at this time, as against $8,000,000 in available cash means on hand August Ist, and the amount under discount now is said to be larger than it has been for nionths past. ‘The agaregate receipts of ‘T'reasurc, from all sources, during the month of October, amounted to $4,250,000, and since the first iustaut sole $500,000 has been received. .\ good demand is likely to prevail for hulliow in a day or two, but the rates thus far have showu little or uo variation from last week,.and gold bars are selling at 850@860 for average grades. Silver may be be quoted at par to 14 @ cent premium. ‘The mining share market has exhibited little or no vitality this week. Transactious at the Board have been much lighter than usual, and were chiefly coufined to a few leading stocks, in which operations have becn made from day to day without much regard to the character of advices from Nevada. The aggregate yield of all the mines on the Cometock, including Gold Hill proper, proves, during the paet month, to be larger than was anticipated, and exceeded $1,075,000. There is likely to hea larger bullion product thie month, from all that we can learn, and a number of claims hitherto heavily in debt will probably goon be in a condition to cancel a very considerable portion of their liabilities. Expenditures have been made without etint during the past three or four months, not only for timber. supplies, etc., for tbe winter, but in the development of new bodies of ore, for the purchase of mills and machinery of all kinds, in sinking new and expensive shafts, etc., ete. Notwithstandiug all these extraordinary disbursemente, the aggregate debt of the leading claims dealt iu at the Board is less than it was in June last, without regard to the aseessmente paid since then. With scarce an exception all ore-producing mines have of late been making some money over aud above ordinary expenses, and pow that their extraordinary expenditures are to be materially less than for some time past, we may confideutly expect their affairs to assume a better shape at no distant day. As to the quantity of ore disclosed at this time, in the lower levels of leading niiues, some contend that it will compare favorably with any former period since May last; while others maintain that there is now lese ure in sight than there has been for months past. Alpha met with trifling sales at $925, aud is now offered at $900, buyer 30. Advices from this claim speak of some improvenient in the lower level, from which portion of the imine good ore can soou be taken. Gould & Curry rose from $975 to $1,025, and then sold at $1,000, closing at $1,050 asked. Yellow Jacket has shown rather more eteadiness, without any improvement, however, advanciug from $760 to $825, buyer 30, then selling at $7421¢, and closing at $740. During the week ending October 23d, 1034 tons first class aud 1,834 tons secoud clase ores were extracted from the miue. In the eame period 1,334 tons second class ures were reduced (879 tons ut outside mills and 455 tons at the company’e mill), yielding in the aggrecate $37,701, or an average of $28.25 per ton fron: partial returus. An accident last week to the steam power of the Morgan mill has sinco then reduced its crushing capacity from 90 to 30 tons per day, but the necessary repairs will be completed in a few days. ‘Savage has been less active, aud 20 feet. were sold within a range of $775(@825, closing at $80214. Receipts of bullion last month amounted to $137,000—an increase of $40,500 over the month of September, and the financial affairs of this company will probably soon chow a material improvement. In the fifth level a width of 35 feet hae been breaeted out. The east corner contains a very rich streak of ore, and the west end also looks well. Througbout the drift 40 feet acroes the Potosi chimney the ore ie thought to compare favorably with tbe body breasted out. Late crushings of ore from this mine average about $39 er tou. = Crown Point has been very inactive and dull at $800@725, closing at $710 bid. Ata depth of 20 feet below the 230-feet level, the west stratum is turning out eome good ore, and above the 160-feet level, in drifting south a ledge of fair cre 3 feet iu width has been disclosed. Belcher rose frou $480 to $550, receded to $470, and sold yesterday at $450. Ophir continues to be well maintained, in view of the decliue in other stocks, and 100 feet were dealt in, advancing from $385 to $425, receding to $4124, rallying to $425, aud closing yesterday at $380. From the 15th to the 29th of October, 970 tons of ore were sent to the Woodworth mill, which will yield somc $28,000 net; and during the same period 108 tons, worth about $10,000, were delivered at tbe Washoe mill, nearly all of which was taken from the fourth gallery of the south miue. Owing to an accident to the Woodworth mill, receipte of bullion were light last montb, and amounted to less than $20,000. The eouth drift fron the Mexican shalt. in the ninth gallery, is now underway again, and preparations are being made to drift east also at the same depth. It is rumored that 2 new adjustment with the Moecow gives to the Opbir company 2,700 shares stock at $15 per share, tozetber with 800 feet of ground in the former claim, leaving 1,400 shares of stock, and the balance of the ground in litigation, to the Burning Moscow company. Chollar receded from $395 to $375@$370, and sold yesterday at $335@340. Potosi rose from $350 to $375, cash, and $380, buyer 30, dropped to $33814, then sold at 320, aud closed at $328. Advices from these mines are regarded with favor by those who seem to be well informed as to their real condition. During the week ending October 27th, 412 tons of ore were seut to custom mills, yielding $38 (@$40 per tou, lees $17 per ton for hauling and reduction. In the same week 350 tons of ore were sold at $8, and 10 tons at $35 per ton. Inthe Potosi ground, the Grass Valley station is eaid to look well, and the drift from the Bajazette level, running north, continues in good ore. In drifting eouth from the fifth etation a emall body of “ splendid black sulphuret ore” has beeu met with this week. The Grass Valley station of the Chollar mine shows considerable improvement, and is now paying better than auy other portion of the claim. In the old workings between the third and fourth stations, the southeast drift bas been driven tbrough to the east eide of the ore limit, and discloses a larger body than was thought to exiet at that point. The new ehaft has been timbered to a depth of 475 feet, and a drift will be started at once. Hale & Noreross has been sold within a range of $300@%260, closing at $260. Empire Mill and Mining company advanced from $170 to $182, and closed at about $155. From the upper levels of the nortb and south mine somo good ore has been taken recently, and preparationa are being made to sink still deeper from the 600-feet level. Overman has been sold within a range vf $88@72, closing at $74. Imperial fell from $192 to $185, rallied to 18714. receded to $170, then sold $175, and closed yesterday at $17214. ‘The last “clean up” from the company’s two inills shows a decided improvement in the ore reduced recently, and yielded $46.000, making the aggregate receipts since 10th of Oct. (including balance of $21,000 then on hand)—about $118,000. During the month of October, extraordinary disbursemeuts, amounting to $25,000, were made in payment of taxes,supplies purchased some time since, and the first installment due on account of their new mill, but the regular dividend will be declared to-day, leaving _a surplus in tbe treasury of the company. The entire expenses for the current month will probably uot exceed $60,000, and witli the addition of tbe Lindauer mill, larger receipts may be anticipated than in October. A full month’s reserve of ore bas been accumluated at the Rock Point mill. Sluctuations in Leading Miining Shaves for the past Six Alonths. Name of Company. } April April . May . May . May . Juue .

Yellow Jacket has shown rather more eteadiness, without any improvement, however, advanciug from $760 to $825, buyer 30, then selling at $7421¢, and closing at $740. During the week ending October 23d, 1034 tons first class aud 1,834 tons secoud clase ores were extracted from the miue. In the eame period 1,334 tons second class ures were reduced (879 tons ut outside mills and 455 tons at the company’e mill), yielding in the aggrecate $37,701, or an average of $28.25 per ton fron: partial returus. An accident last week to the steam power of the Morgan mill has sinco then reduced its crushing capacity from 90 to 30 tons per day, but the necessary repairs will be completed in a few days. ‘Savage has been less active, aud 20 feet. were sold within a range of $775(@825, closing at $80214. Receipts of bullion last month amounted to $137,000—an increase of $40,500 over the month of September, and the financial affairs of this company will probably soon chow a material improvement. In the fifth level a width of 35 feet hae been breaeted out. The east corner contains a very rich streak of ore, and the west end also looks well. Througbout the drift 40 feet acroes the Potosi chimney the ore ie thought to compare favorably with tbe body breasted out. Late crushings of ore from this mine average about $39 er tou. = Crown Point has been very inactive and dull at $800@725, closing at $710 bid. Ata depth of 20 feet below the 230-feet level, the west stratum is turning out eome good ore, and above the 160-feet level, in drifting south a ledge of fair cre 3 feet iu width has been disclosed. Belcher rose frou $480 to $550, receded to $470, and sold yesterday at $450. Ophir continues to be well maintained, in view of the decliue in other stocks, and 100 feet were dealt in, advancing from $385 to $425, receding to $4124, rallying to $425, aud closing yesterday at $380. From the 15th to the 29th of October, 970 tons of ore were sent to the Woodworth mill, which will yield somc $28,000 net; and during the same period 108 tons, worth about $10,000, were delivered at tbe Washoe mill, nearly all of which was taken from the fourth gallery of the south miue. Owing to an accident to the Woodworth mill, receipte of bullion were light last montb, and amounted to less than $20,000. The eouth drift fron the Mexican shalt. in the ninth gallery, is now underway again, and preparations are being made to drift east also at the same depth. It is rumored that 2 new adjustment with the Moecow gives to the Opbir company 2,700 shares stock at $15 per share, tozetber with 800 feet of ground in the former claim, leaving 1,400 shares of stock, and the balance of the ground in litigation, to the Burning Moscow company. Chollar receded from $395 to $375@$370, and sold yesterday at $335@340. Potosi rose from $350 to $375, cash, and $380, buyer 30, dropped to $33814, then sold at 320, aud closed at $328. Advices from these mines are regarded with favor by those who seem to be well informed as to their real condition. During the week ending October 27th, 412 tons of ore were seut to custom mills, yielding $38 (@$40 per tou, lees $17 per ton for hauling and reduction. In the same week 350 tons of ore were sold at $8, and 10 tons at $35 per ton. Inthe Potosi ground, the Grass Valley station is eaid to look well, and the drift from the Bajazette level, running north, continues in good ore. In drifting eouth from the fifth etation a emall body of “ splendid black sulphuret ore” has beeu met with this week. The Grass Valley station of the Chollar mine shows considerable improvement, and is now paying better than auy other portion of the claim. In the old workings between the third and fourth stations, the southeast drift bas been driven tbrough to the east eide of the ore limit, and discloses a larger body than was thought to exiet at that point. The new ehaft has been timbered to a depth of 475 feet, and a drift will be started at once. Hale & Noreross has been sold within a range of $300@%260, closing at $260. Empire Mill and Mining company advanced from $170 to $182, and closed at about $155. From the upper levels of the nortb and south mine somo good ore has been taken recently, and preparationa are being made to sink still deeper from the 600-feet level. Overman has been sold within a range vf $88@72, closing at $74. Imperial fell from $192 to $185, rallied to 18714. receded to $170, then sold $175, and closed yesterday at $17214. ‘The last “clean up” from the company’s two inills shows a decided improvement in the ore reduced recently, and yielded $46.000, making the aggregate receipts since 10th of Oct. (including balance of $21,000 then on hand)—about $118,000. During the month of October, extraordinary disbursemeuts, amounting to $25,000, were made in payment of taxes,supplies purchased some time since, and the first installment due on account of their new mill, but the regular dividend will be declared to-day, leaving _a surplus in tbe treasury of the company. The entire expenses for the current month will probably uot exceed $60,000, and witli the addition of tbe Lindauer mill, larger receipts may be anticipated than in October. A full month’s reserve of ore bas been accumluated at the Rock Point mill. Sluctuations in Leading Miining Shaves for the past Six Alonths. Name of Company. } April April . May . May . May . Juue .
