Early in the season, beforo the Deep Crcuk excitemeut, there were many indications in-dications that Tinlie; would hnvu quite a mining boom this hummer. This hope has not been wholly fulfilled. The production of the district ha been very large, but as yet little lit-tle or no outside capital has been invested in-vested there. 'J'o make thai situation worse many men were laid on" at the bullion bul-lion Heck and Eureka Hid mines. 1 Jut thi'i'd has been u'chunce ior tho better The vein has been dippingaway from th shaft so rapidly that it has been '1-e; '1-e; nveuiuut to follow it with an incline, ii hits therefore been llec.dod to sink t' e shaft forty feet deo)er and drift to the or1.

Hodges has3"i tons of the Rough and Ready, tons of South Galena and 8 tons of Sunbeam. Optlna Omn on the Ciotennlsl Kurkm The Times on Tuesday published the rumor that an opliou has been given ou the control of the ("entennial-Eur'.'k. stock for a price of $100 a share. From information obtained today it is thought . that the rumor was correct. Ono of the stockholders informed the reporterthat it was true that the stock had been bonded. When asked at what prico he said: "If you gue?sed a huudred years couldn't come any nearer to it than you did when you published the first report, Mr. Chi.sholm the manager of the company was asked concerning the deal, but he wouldn't say a word about it. Ono of tin; directors direc-tors of the company continued the statement of the stockholders of the truth of the report of au option having been given on the stock. It is therefore quite certain that some sort of a deal has been made andthat the prico is 8100 a share. May lSultd Smpltr Hiumlf, Sam (Jilson said yesterday that if a road was not built to Deep Creek before be-fore long, he might find it necessary to I build a smelter over in that country himself. "Tho treatment charges ou some of my ore," he said, "is simply a terror. In the first place I am charged ill a ton tor smelting and 1 tj cents a unit extra for every per cent of silica. My ore frequently runs as high as IS per cent iu silica; that makes $LM8 a ton more. Why, with regular and ex tra charges, deductions on eilver, deductions de-ductions for moisture, etc., one lot 1 shipped in cost ma just iSo a ton for smelting charges. " AVorkliii; Force on th Ilurkhorn. The Working force on tiio liuekhorn nunioers uve men, and these do all the lead work and take out all the ore shipped to this city. There has never beeu a larger crew on tho mine than this, and it is not likely they will bo increased in-creased as long as they can get out more oro than teams can bo gotten to haul away. Tea carloads of second-class second-class ore.. now piled ou tho dump, all of which will ruu 60 or 70 ounces, aad there is some hundreds of tons more, which will run from 10 to ,10 ounces. A shipment of tiio second-class will be made within a few days. Short Ophir I'umh Mayn & ickersham ate working a small force of men on their chums in Dry Canon and are making Bteauy shipments ship-ments of ore. Piumuicr aud Carpenter have just takeu a lease ou the "iVnnuering Jew, located half wsy between the Queen of the Hills and the Mono toll road. Tho work is being done in a tunnel, where they are getting out a small amount of ore which will run $10 a ton, enough to pay expenses. If extended this tunnel will strike tiie crest of the. mountain al a depth of 000 feet, as it gains two feet for every three run. ! Creek 4m. r.
