Granite Mountain mining stock stock is not quoted so high on tho St. louis exchange, as it w as a year ago when it sold for ifiio a share. The last salo made was at $2X.7a. Miners from Park City are emphatic in the declaration that there is no longer any doubt of tho existence of a large body of lead carbonates beneath the surface sur-face of Treasure hill. The ore body in the eastern end of the Ontario, from No. 2 shaft, is said to be the largest and richest exposed in any part of the mine, although it is deeper t hau in the workings of the west end. .1. II. Wa'ts has reeoived news from Silver City to tho elVect that some Very tine lea l ore has been uncovered in the bottom of the new shaft oil the Silver Moon, w hich is about tll'ty five feet deep.

Not a very discouraging comparison. The people of Virginia City are awaiting with inaiay anticipations of prosperity the resumption of deep mining on the Comstock. The stock brokers of San Francisco are sharing in these anticipations because they believe the people will again become fascinated w ith Niock gambling. I A (UMINC EL IHH1.H. Gold and Silver, Lead and Iron iu the Greatest Abnndacce in the Deep Creek Mountains. A DIAMOND DRILL FOR TINTI0. ("has. Hitllowway Makes an Interesting Talk The Day on 'Chango-Miuing 'Chango-Miuing Brevities, Mr. Chas. Ilolloway, jr., who has but recently returned from tho mines of Deep creek, to which district he will return this afternoon, is now enrolled as a most earnest and enthusiastic champion of that variedly rich and extensive ex-tensive mineral region. When seen by the reporter he did not have tho time to give him a sufficiently extended in tcrview, to he specific aud tell o.f some of the individual mines, which give great hope and promise of becoming large producers, when they have been accorded the advantages of railroad transportation. The facts which ho was able to impart, then, were of a general nature, as ho spoke of the several districts collectively, nearly all of which he had visited. Ho had been absent from here for more than a month, during which time he had taken in nearly every one of the camps comprehended by the Deep creek country and with the names of which peopio are so familiar. "Judged as a whole," he said, "that is a very rich and interesting interest-ing section to a milling man, and in extent it is large enough lor an empire. It possesses nearly e.ery kind and character of ore known to mineral-ology mineral-ology from high to low grade lead and irou. to tree-milling gold and silver quartz. It will make a rare combination combina-tion for smelters as every variety required re-quired by them can be obtained." Mr. Ilolloway could not particularize to such a length as to even speak of tho advantages and peculiarities of the many districts only to say "that taken as a whole the country coun-try completed an El Dorado the extent and resources of which no one could more than inacurately appreciate until he had paid it a visit and inspected the hundreds of mines, none of which have been scratched. An hundred thousand would be a very low estimate for tho number of miners w ho could be employed there when the facilities for transportation are improved im-proved by the new Deep Creek road. It seems almost incomprehensible to a man when he becomes conversant con-versant with the richness of those mines to think that they should have been so long isolated and cut off from markets, when other places, not having so much to warrant the enterprise enter-prise ami having ten times more obstacles obsta-cles to overcome, with high mouutaiu ranges to either tunnel or cover with snow-shedding, are the very meccas toward which all eyes are turned. But a change is near at hand, and with the building of the new line of road a transformation will take place and the people of Salt Lake will bo made to realize how much it has cost them by not having it constructed ten years ago. If it had been hundreds of cars of ore would now be arriviug here front there every day. Tlia Mlalug Kxchanga. Today's session on the mining exchange ex-change was one of the most unusual and remarkable, in ono respect, that ever occurred on that floor. Not a share of stock or au ounce of silver was sold, and not one of the brc k ts wiil feel impelled to buy conversation water this afternoon in celebrating his large commissions. Only a few of tho brokers were present, and all felt tho loss of such inspiring spirits as Bamberger, Bamber-ger, Trevvcek and Conkliu, and yet the calls were not entirely en-tirely devoid of interest, as the dearth of business was due more to the bullish feeling which prevailed rather than to a lack of orders on an inclination to buy. Davis was willing to give a,s much as 27 for 2000 shares of Crescent, and if-1.27 for a limited number num-ber of Mammoth, but Stevenson would have given & 1.25 for 50!) shares of the latter stock. Forty-two dollars was offered for Ontario, the same price at which the last salo was made. When the strength displayed by the stocks is taken into consideration, the meeting is not at all discouraging. Davis made his debut in tho pit wearing wear-ing a very gravo and intellectual looking look-ing pair of glnsses, and was instantly dubbed the "New York broker." Tom Carter did not hesitate to say "that he was not consumed with the do-sire do-sire to take a trip down any deep shafts." Tips on stocks Both Crescent and Mammoth are good buys at present prices. The former will soon bo drained drain-ed of water by the llanauer tunnel, aud the ore is getting richer all tho time. A Dl.linoiel Drill lor Tlutlc. A letter received here yesterday gives the information that new hoisting engines aro to be immediately placed on the Albany Consolidated and Alamo shafts at Eureka. The owners of thoso properties are getting so anxious to search the mineral-bearing zones that operations are going to be pushed w ith the utmost speed. Iu addition to the new engine to be placed on tho Alamo, a Diamond drill is also to be put in to facilitate prospecting. To thoso who are familiar with the workings of that machine it will not. be necessary to explain its construction con-struction and methods, or its advantages advant-ages in a district like Tintic, while the oro bodies do not occur in veins, but are mineral impregnations of the limestone. lime-stone. 'The diamond drill is susceptible suscepti-ble of driving a hole in ordinary rock fifty feet a day, at tho same time extracting the core, which shows whether it has passed through oro or barren ground. In cross-cut work it is almost invaluable, as a hole can be driven for a hundred or two feet in almost any direction that curiosity prompts at a merely nominal cost. Many bodies of mineral are thus found which otherwise would be missed. The success of this innovation ir. Tintic. will be watched with interest by mine owners there. HarTay Hardy's Lufik.
