PITrsBuRG RocK-In our issue Of the 18th
ult we stated that we had been shown some
fine looking rock from the Webster claim, in
Pittsburg. Since then Messrs. E. Levin s
Co., assayers, have made three careful assays
of the Webster rock, showing it to yield
largely in gold and silver. The first assay
was made from selected rock, which resulted
as follows:
Gold, IA 50-l00 or, valued at.S300 90
Silver, 81 Is 100 o.. g 49,. 73 90
Value per ton of 1000 lbs.....S373 90
The second and third assays were made
from average rock, with the following re-
suits:
Gold, 7 29-l0 o., valued at.....Sl49 So
Silver, 26 73-l00 oz., - . 81 4S
Total value per on...................Slo4 80
A careful test of rock from the same claim
was also made by Dr.. Roethe, with nearly
the same result as the first assay made by
levin & Co., showing conclusively that this
rock contains large amount of the precious
metals. The ledge is between five and six
feet wide, with a rich streak of ore about
fourteen inches wide running through it.
The Webster Company was incorporated
on Wednesday last, with a capital stock Of
$500, ,000 The number of shares are six
thousand-one share per foot. The trustees
for the first three months are P B. Reading,
F. Tracy, II. A. Curtiss, R. T. Sprague and
F. Baehr. The company purpose proceeding
at once to the development of the mine.
