Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1864-11-17
THE EVENING NEWS.

Through the courtesey of Mr.. John Van
dewater, the efficient Superintendent we
CLEAN the following particulars relative to
this mine: The claim consists of fifty
one feet, located in Gold Hill proper, ana
lying adjacent to the well-knowE Bowers
ground, ranks among the first locations IN
the hill. This company is composed OF
three parcels of ground-the stevenson
Winters, kustel & Co., and Hirschman
Lindauer claims, consolidated for the pur-
pose of working, but unincoFporated.
Substantial hosting works have been
erected. and a double-englne, OF thirty
horse power, built at the Miners Foundry.
San Francisco, performs the work for the
mine. Like most of the good mines IN
Gold Hill, this company work through
shaft. which is divided into two compart-
ments, substantially timbered with four
inch planking. At the depth of 220 feet,
a drift was run to the west, cutting the
ledge IN two places - one being about
twelve feet in thickness and the other a
little less. From this level the ore was
quite thoroughly culled, being of an ex-
cellent quality, and affording good returns
10 the owners. At the depth of 325 feet
the second gallery was opened with about
the same result, the larger portion Of the
ore being worked. The depth of 426 feet
being attained in the shaft, the third gal
lery was opened successfully, and the
ledge worked out to the gallery above.
About one week since, in shining on the
ledge at this level, a surprising rich vein
of ore was struck, specimens of which we
saw, being literally covered with native
silver. The ledge is widening at this
depth, and the new strike will materially
increase the value of the before wealthy
mine. About forty men are employed IN
and about the works, and seventy-hve
tons of ore are raised daily, giving employ
ment TO a number of teams which convey
the ore for reduction to Stevenson's mill,
Gold Hill; Winters, Kustel s Co.'S, and
Hirschman s Lindauer,s mills, at Dayton.
The recent discovery Of rich ore at so deep
u level, goes far to prove the extent of the
deposits, which may be of endless
amounts. The Consolidated claim is being
worked advantageously and economically,
and is, and will continue to be, one of the
best paying mines on the Comstock lode.
AccIDENr.-Yesterday afternoon Dan
DeQuille was seized with sudden fit of
coughing. which wrenched both his arms
from their sockets, unjointed his left leg
at the knees, caused a compound fracture
Of the skull, and entirely tore away the
right lobe of the lungs. Some of Whites
cough drops were poured over his debili-
tated and unjointed remains, which imme-
diately restored him to normal condition.
The only place in town where this miracu-

Co.'S, c street, near Taylor.
