The Mining and Scientific Press. ~ Weekly Stock Circular. By Associated Brokers of the8 y Btock and Exchange Board. San Fraxersco, February 6, 1869, Flnaneial, Our local money market works ensily and smuvthly, with n fair prospect fur continunnee, It is a great hlessing to he free from the convulsions and spasms which affect those money murts where pnper currency has usnrped the places of gold and silver. Rntes, in bank, reninin steady at 1@1%4 per cent. per month, with quite um active demand, and abundant supply. Although we have been favored with steady nud copious rains, communication with the interior has not heen ohstructed to the oxtent it attained at this timo last year, and bullion has been furnished in fair quantities. We quote gold hars at 880@890 ; silver hars scll from pur to +{ per cent. premium ; currency drafts on Annie cities command 33@33%4 per cent. premium on gold; sight drafts, payable in coin, 1 per eent. preminm; telegraphic transfers, 144 por cout. premium; sterling exchange, 487(d; commercinl, 497@4914d; Mexican dollars are selling at 5@6 per cent. premium, Onr rain fall, so far this season, has been 125, inches, and quite suflicient to insure the growing crops, which are on a scale fnr more extensive than ever, besides possessing the advantage of being, in good part, on new and strong soils, while the volunteer creps on lands planted last year are much superior to those in Eastern States grown on lands cultivated with much labor and skill. Next Monday, the 8th inst., onr Branch Mint will resume operations. It is as well to remark, in this connection, that we regret to learn the intention to ercct a Branch Mint at the Dalles, where it will remain a monument of reproach te Congress, for permitting partisan legislation to baffle the hest interests of tho peoplo at large, and waste the pnblic moneys to feed a small army of political leeches. The real estate mania has again fastened its grip npon our people. The value of sales mado in January was $2,716,823, and the number 492, being eight more in number, and $1,110,064 more in value than in Decemher last. More husiness was done in this hne during January, 1869, than in any one month of 1868, with the exception of March and September. The Potrero lands were largely dealt in—no less than 121 sales, involving $250,667, have been effected. Two hundred and sixteen mortgages, to the value of $1,185,221, and 157 releases, represcnting $588,960, were recorded in January last. The market has opened briskly, with evcry prospect of increased transactions. If the sales in January of the present ycar, when compared with those for the same month in 1868, afford any index of the real estato husiness to he transacted in 1869, we may sct it down at not less than $50,000,000. City Stocks. Our city stocks commanded improved rates during the period under review, and at the close the market is very firm. Seventy shares of Spring Valley Water stock sold at $67 and $68, huyer 30. This company pays its usual monthly dividend on the 10th inst. Early in the week a few shares of North Beach and Mission R. R. sold at $69, and latcr fifteen shares were disposed of at $70 @ share. Gas stock exhibits a very material rise, twenty shares gelling on the 3d at $90, seller 3. The usual monthly dividend was paid on the Ist inst. The Pacific Bank paid its customary monthly dividend on the 1st, and the Merchants' Mutnal Marine [us. Co. will disburse its usual dividend on the 10th. At the close, Cal. Steam Navigation Cv. stock sold at 6544 per cent. Mining Share Market. The mining share market proved to he quite active since our last similar reference. ‘Chis activity is mainly based on the prospective developments, of which limited success has so far attended several companies on the Comstock ledge, among which we may mention the Belcher, Yellow Jacket and Hale & Norcross, though the latter does not look quite so well at latest dates. Should Ophir prove to reach successful results in drifting from the lower Icvel of its new shaft, we may expect to see a marked improvement in share values. Brtcuen—has becn remarkahly active since our previous issuc, rising to $34, and closing at $32. A telegram of the 4th inst.reads: ‘‘ Assay from 200 level, $72: and 335 level, $69 to the ton.’ The ore reache 11 the 335 level, it is expected, will be fou the new exploring dull on a on the: 420 level, arguing = the fact that they have tapped a henvy hody ef water at tbe Jast named point. The ore found on the 200 Icvel lies east of the shaft, toward the Segregated Belcher gronnd, and arrangemeuts have been perfected with the latter company te rnise this ore threngh their shaft. Hare & Nercress—mnintained its activity throughout the week under an advnnce up to the 2d inst., when it sold at $85, the next day dropped to $70, and at the closo realizing $66. Tho letter of the 2d states thant the ground floor north in the south breast shows more waste than it did the day previons. The second floor continues about the same as previously reported. At the above date they hnd not yet reached the face of the south drift. In the north drift they found a little ore west of where they crossed tho ore with the cross drift, and had not yet gone far enongh to get into the ore body, On the 3d the ore in the winze was wider—ahout four teet—but not of very high grade. The south dritt had been opened, and they are now running on a stratum of ore xhout two fcet wide, and also running a cross-drift westward. Crown Pornt—sold at $67@68, and closed at S67. On the 3ist ult. the sump was fourteen feet below the 1100 level, to which point the pump column has been extended. The east drift of the 1100 level is in 40 feet, running in hard rock. The south drift of the 900 level is in 425 feet from the north linc, the ‘facc showing clay and phophyry. The extension of the main northeast drift is now over thirty-seven feet east of the east clay, the face of it in granite. Over $28,000 in bullion received on January account. Kenrucx—declined from $232 to $200, and closed at $205. The receipts of hullion for January account foot up $69,359.OveRMan rose to $84, and closed at $377. It is reported that a good supply of oro is on hand, and that both mills are kept running. The receipts so far upon January account aggregate $21,000. .-Amapor (Cal.) advanced fo $260, on the 4th instant. Tbe reports from this mine are encouraging. A dividend of $6 per share is payable on tho 10th inst. The date for paying dividends has been changed from the 20th to the 10th of the month. Receipts of bullion for January amounted to $47,861, against $46,000 in December. Joel F. Lightner has been elected Sccretary of this company in place of Col. Bicknell, resigned, who, we uuderstand, will become connected with Mr. Downey’s bank at Los Angeles. Inprrtat—has hcen in moderate request, selling at $144@149 50, and closing at $138. The ageregate reccipts of bullion in January amounted to $46,728, against $44,288 in December. .CHorrar-Porost has hcen inactive, realizing $167@171, then selliug at $163, and closing at $163. During the week eudiug January 29th, 919 tons of ore were extracted. The drift at 920 level, of the new works, is in 120 feet, and the drift west from the 1100 level is 64 feet long—-all made through porphyry. They have about 64 feet further to run before the west wall will be reached..Yretnow Jacner rose from $1,452 to $1,575, and closed at $1,580. It is believed that at the meetiug of the stockholders on the 5th iust. it will be decided to retain the office of the company at Virginia, and that the capital stock will ho changed from feet iuto shares. Oprxnir—advanced from $37 75 to $42 50, and closed at $43 50. On the 3d inst. the shaft was timbered to a depth of 712 feet, and the whole depth cxteuded nine feet further. Two more sets of timhers will be required in order to complete the sump, and this they expected to have finished at this date.Gonp Hinn Quartz shows a bullion yield of ‘86, 956 42 during the month of January. The amount reduced was 339 tons, equal to $20 52 per ton. .Eurrxa, (Cau.) sold on the 30th ult. << $230. “The yield for January amounted to $36,210 23. Se anp Waite Pint Srace Conyections.—W. H.
