From the Carson City Enterprise Of the 24th Of
March, we extract the following:
At Virginia City the different companies who
have been running tunnels upon the line OF the
main Comstoek lead, are al Of them In . fair way
to be rewarded for their perseverance. The Gould
Company have struck the vein OF silver in their
ground quite as rich as the Ophir or Mexican ore.
The Dick Sides Company, the Billy Culiough Com
pany, and the Compress Company, have all struck
the main lead. These are interspersed along dis
lance OF one and one-foUrth miles southwest OF
the Ophir claims no two Of them Joining. All in
termediate ground H. of course, valued very highly.
The fact OF the above named companies striking
the lead at 50 many different points, leaves no
room for the doubts which at times have been ex-
pressed about its continuance. The main Com
stock lead j known to extend q distance of II
miles Within that distance Ii contained an amount
OF wealth that Is almost incalculable. Further on
each side of the main lead Is found number of
leads or spurs which promise to be rick. Nearly
all the ground on the main lead Is valued at from
$1,000 to 5000 per foot
The town of Virginia City Is improving very fast.
Since the weather has moderated, there have been
a large number Of canvas houses erected. We
should Judge that there as many as three hum
dred houses Of various descriptions there Several
assay and smelling establishments are being built
The International Hotel lately erected is crowded
with strangers; the other houses Of entertainment
are doing fiourishing business.
The Consolidated Company, at Flowery Dig.
gings are about commencing TO prospect their
".
Hasey and others, have laid on town in the cen
ter Of that district which they have christened
Flowery City. 1t is proposed to build road from
Virginia City down the Six Mile Canon through the
new town to the emigrant road.
At Gold Hill the claims are gradually improving
and steadily advancing in value.
At Silver City discoveries made every few days
indicate that this WILL in short time, be one oil
the most populous mining localities this side Of the
mountains. Mr.. McNulty and Mr.. Kellogg are both
going to construct quartz mills at Silver City, SO
soon as they can get their machinery over the
mountains. The Sacramento Company have struck
some very rich silver in their shaft; almost all
the other companies finding more or less silver
in their rocks as they go down. Mr.. Kellogg lately
paid Mr.. Kingsbury $l0500 for his interest in the
Buckeye, Flora Temple, and other claims of less
note The country in this district is rolling, rese
bling the foothills of California, and leads are
found in all directions Scarcely shaft has been
sunk or a tunnel run in that section of country,
which has not rewarded Its proprietors.
| The excitement about the Desert Diggngs still
continues. The assays of the different ores found
| there show a very heavy per centage of silver.
Several parties are now prospecting near the
Sink of the Humboldt, and we expect soon to hear
of very rich discoveries in that quarter.
The mines on the east of Carson river, and SC
continuing down to Pine Nut Valley, as they are
prospected, improve in quality
