Mil THEY SrRIxE I'VE hear this
question propounded now-a-d days very
frequently relative to the prospects of the
Ophir and Gould n Curry in striking ore
ri 4 lower level than has yet been pros
pected, it being conceded BY all that if
that most desirable result is attained that
:, will SubStantiate the fact that the silver
mines OF Nevada IRE unlimited in extent.
We have taken some pains to investigate
the several theories advanced by biologists
concerning the direction. extent and
pitch - Of our lodeS, and have also
Earned many opinions OF old miners, who
all coincide IN the fact that the main ledge,
Anown Us the ComSIock, has, so far, inva-
siably been found inelining the same way;
consequently, If the Ophir, at the depth of
500 or 1000 feet, again strike their ledge
~ the same angle as at the seventh sta
ton, it will be but reasonable to suppose
that The same results will be obtained by
all claims having locations on the great
Comstock ledge. Last evening, through
the politeness OF Mr.. Frank keeney, the
OverSeer Of the Ophir, we paid an en-
yended visit 10 that mine, and in our judg-
ment land We have been miner for q
.ong time) the prospects of metal being
cut at the lower level, is most fattering.
la the shaft fine indications have been
struck. The work OF sinking goes rapidly
forward, and two months time will de-
velop the stability Of Nevada mines, or
prove their limited extent.

Was large, considerable number OF out

the announcement that DR.. Bein was to

doctors speech. We must say. however,
that for unanswerable logic, thrilling pa
tnotic appeal, sparkling wit and wither-
ing sarcasm, we have not heard such
speech on this side of the land. The doe
