Show THE 1MSE IN LEAD HAS PRODUCED AN EXHILERATING EFFECT EF-FECT IN MINING CIRCLES. It 'Will Mean the 'Workinsr of Some Mines that 'Would Have Keen Closed Down and the lurreaxin); of Forces where they would Have Keen Decreased. Yesterday's sudden rise iu lead lnid a remarkable re-markable exhileratimr effect ona yooil many mining nu'ti and especially on those intcr-t-.-tt-d in Bnii;liiiiu. Had the depres.-ion of two days a:;o, continued a month longer, it is crlaiii that the number of iuiuers 'working 'work-ing in that t amp would have been reduced one third, ins several managers had already announced their intention of cutting, dowu their forces at least that much. The rise will mean a great deal toevery district in the territory and it is as pleasant as it was unexpected. unex-pected. One of liiitic's Koiianzas. A mining mau who is not interested in Tintie, but is a regular visitor there and who lias been through every property in the district, dis-trict, was taken underground iu the Key-alone Key-alone a few days ago, and he claims that w hat he saw filled him w ith wonder. There me ore bodies in the. Eureka Hill and the Bullion-Beck finite as large as those which haw been opened recently in the Keystone and there are more of them, but ther is no mine in Tintie which has such rich ore, except ex-cept the Centennial Eureka, which has been lamed for a year or two for the. high grade of its product. Every shifts work is making the mine more valuable and so great an improvement is made in a short time as to almost be heyond belief. In a w hole day's work that was dune last Week, there were but two mining cars of waste hoisted, and iu the same length of time more than sixty tons of ..re were brought to the surface. John t-Packard t-Packard is reported to have said after an iu-t-pectiou of the underground workings which he made a few days ago, "that it looked as if Hie Keystone would become the best prop-city prop-city in the district. :;"(4!'b OUt: BEC'EIITS.

Smelter Men Smiling. V No one feels more pleased over yesterday's rise in lead than the smelter men; not even Vbe miners, for nearly all of them have big Veks of ore on hand w hich they had pur-V pur-V ed at low prices, and some have a con-Vtble con-Vtble amount of bullion. When the last Ine came, it hit several of the smelters f ty hard, but should the advance of yes-Jiay yes-Jiay be maintained, it would go a long r towards evening up the losses of a few I' ks ago. J Hctter Than Ke ported. S. Martin was asked by a friend last night if he had not painted the resources of thelKep Creek country, in his interview in The Timks, in rather bright colors.
