Am advance along the line occurred, everythiug going up higher than it was for some time past. The fluctuations of the market will he seen hy referring to our stock tahles in another colnmn. This rise has heen long and auxiously looked for hy brokers, who will now reap their harvest. As regards the situation in the mines, it still remains favorahle everywhere aloug the line of the Comstock. In that direction, according to the Enterprise, there is nothing to cause a panic, or even the slightést nneasiness. From the lower levels of several of our leading mines—where work has for a long time heen in @ great Measure suspended, on account of had and heated air—we may expect soon to hear good reporis, as the works for their proper ventilation are fast approaching completion. In mines where drifts have heen running for months in lines parallel with the vein, only touching here and there its protuherances and sinnosities, preparations for crosscutting are heing made; indeed, in a few instances cross drifts have already heen commenced. The ore hodies already developed expand and improve the work of their exploration progressses and in many instances these have proved to he deposits of undouhted permanence, Good work is everywhere heing done hy those of our companies engsged in prospecting. Itis true they have their occasional mishaps and that they at times encounter unlooked-for obstacles, as great floods of water, very hard rock or had, swelling ground, hut hy the exercise of patience, perseverance aud skillful engineering all difficulties are eventually overcome. Tux Stevens mine, or West Argentine, Colotado, has heen gold to Chas, Menderhall, of . Cincinnati, for $37,000 in cash. Mining Accidents. Two men, Eugene Clifford and James Ryan, were seriously injured hy a pecnliar accident recently in the Cerro Benito mines. The Hollister Enterprise says they were engaged in sinking an air shaft to connect with one of the tunnels, and had got down a depth of 35 feet when the point of the pick in the hands of Clifford struck into an old charge of powder, exploding it and hurning the men frightfully. Ryan, who was standing off at a little distanoe, had his hands and face hnrned—the left hand hadly, His companion fared much worse, as he was standing immediately over the flame. His body, face and arms were shockiugly hurned, yet it is thought he will recover. This old blast, it seems, was dropped dawn into a creyioe when the men were hiasting on a former ocoasion, and remained intact until struck hy the pick, as alluded to. On the 10th inst., a miner named John Evans was instantly killed hy falling down the shaft of the Sierra Nevada mine. At the time the accident occurred he was hriuging up some timhers from the hottom of the shaft on the cage. Itissupposed that the timhers caught against the lagging and rolled ahout on the cage, knocking him off. Onthe 18th inst., a man nsmed Thomas Ripley, mining near Chinese camp, was heing lowered into his shaft when the noose in which he was seated slipped from the hight, precipitating him a distance of 85 feet. He struck on his feet with terrific force, hreaking every hone in the lower portion of his hody aud killing him instantly. A miner named John Kuareshorough broke his right leg last week by falling into a chnte from the 1,200-ft. level of the Belcher nine, Charles Shepardson received injuries on the 17th inst. in the Sutro tunuel, from which he died two days after. The deceased waa carman inthe tunnel. The cars hold ahout three tons of rock each, and are hauled out of the tnnnelin small trains hya mule. It seems that Shepardson had hrought out a train of losded cars, three of which he pushed out upon a track resting upon a trestlework intended to support the weight of empty cars only. Hegot hetween two of the cars for the purpose of dumping one of them. While he was lifting on the car the track suddenly gave way under his feet. As he fell he was csught hetween two cars and crushed across the hreast. On Saturday morning as a three-decker oage, containing loaded oars, was heing hoisted up the north compartment of the Consolidated Virginia shaft, the cahle suddenly Tet at the top of the gallows frame. The Enterprise says tbat the cage, whioh had almost reached the 1,300-ft. level, fell hut ahout four or five inches, when it was caught and held suspended in the shaft. The cahle descended the shaft with a noise which resounded through the miue like crashes of thunder. The miners state that the friction of the falling cahle caused hright flashes of fire to stream from the sides of the shaft, as they could plainly see wherever it passed the stations at the several levels. Luekily no one was hurt hy the accident. New Incorporations.

419 California st 50 June 30 Mining Stocks, The mining share market has heen ina state of excitement for the past few dsys. Am advance along the line occurred, everythiug going up higher than it was for some time past. The fluctuations of the market will he seen hy referring to our stock tahles in another colnmn. This rise has heen long and auxiously looked for hy brokers, who will now reap their harvest. As regards the situation in the mines, it still remains favorahle everywhere aloug the line of the Comstock. In that direction, according to the Enterprise, there is nothing to cause a panic, or even the slightést nneasiness. From the lower levels of several of our leading mines—where work has for a long time heen in @ great Measure suspended, on account of had and heated air—we may expect soon to hear good reporis, as the works for their proper ventilation are fast approaching completion. In mines where drifts have heen running for months in lines parallel with the vein, only touching here and there its protuherances and sinnosities, preparations for crosscutting are heing made; indeed, in a few instances cross drifts have already heen commenced. The ore hodies already developed expand and improve the work of their exploration progressses and in many instances these have proved to he deposits of undouhted permanence, Good work is everywhere heing done hy those of our companies engsged in prospecting. Itis true they have their occasional mishaps and that they at times encounter unlooked-for obstacles, as great floods of water, very hard rock or had, swelling ground, hut hy the exercise of patience, perseverance aud skillful engineering all difficulties are eventually overcome. Tux Stevens mine, or West Argentine, Colotado, has heen gold to Chas, Menderhall, of . Cincinnati, for $37,000 in cash. Mining Accidents. Two men, Eugene Clifford and James Ryan, were seriously injured hy a pecnliar accident recently in the Cerro Benito mines. The Hollister Enterprise says they were engaged in sinking an air shaft to connect with one of the tunnels, and had got down a depth of 35 feet when the point of the pick in the hands of Clifford struck into an old charge of powder, exploding it and hurning the men frightfully. Ryan, who was standing off at a little distanoe, had his hands and face hnrned—the left hand hadly, His companion fared much worse, as he was standing immediately over the flame. His body, face and arms were shockiugly hurned, yet it is thought he will recover. This old blast, it seems, was dropped dawn into a creyioe when the men were hiasting on a former ocoasion, and remained intact until struck hy the pick, as alluded to. On the 10th inst., a miner named John Evans was instantly killed hy falling down the shaft of the Sierra Nevada mine. At the time the accident occurred he was hriuging up some timhers from the hottom of the shaft on the cage. Itissupposed that the timhers caught against the lagging and rolled ahout on the cage, knocking him off. Onthe 18th inst., a man nsmed Thomas Ripley, mining near Chinese camp, was heing lowered into his shaft when the noose in which he was seated slipped from the hight, precipitating him a distance of 85 feet. He struck on his feet with terrific force, hreaking every hone in the lower portion of his hody aud killing him instantly. A miner named John Kuareshorough broke his right leg last week by falling into a chnte from the 1,200-ft. level of the Belcher nine, Charles Shepardson received injuries on the 17th inst. in the Sutro tunuel, from which he died two days after. The deceased waa carman inthe tunnel. The cars hold ahout three tons of rock each, and are hauled out of the tnnnelin small trains hya mule. It seems that Shepardson had hrought out a train of losded cars, three of which he pushed out upon a track resting upon a trestlework intended to support the weight of empty cars only. Hegot hetween two of the cars for the purpose of dumping one of them. While he was lifting on the car the track suddenly gave way under his feet. As he fell he was csught hetween two cars and crushed across the hreast. On Saturday morning as a three-decker oage, containing loaded oars, was heing hoisted up the north compartment of the Consolidated Virginia shaft, the cahle suddenly Tet at the top of the gallows frame. The Enterprise says tbat the cage, whioh had almost reached the 1,300-ft. level, fell hut ahout four or five inches, when it was caught and held suspended in the shaft. The cahle descended the shaft with a noise which resounded through the miue like crashes of thunder. The miners state that the friction of the falling cahle caused hright flashes of fire to stream from the sides of the shaft, as they could plainly see wherever it passed the stations at the several levels. Luekily no one was hurt hy the accident. New Incorporations.
