THE EVENING NEWS.

result of the first crushing of 100 tons of I'M
assorted ore, from the Nevada Company's
claim, Justis lead, is very satisfactory. Two
bars, the product of this lot Of ore, were to
be seen Yesterday. at Theal Cos. Inc
value OF these bars in gold and silver Is as
follows: The largest bar contained S2,Z9o,
500 in gold and SI,074 So in silver; the
small one, 81 ,354 OS in gold, and ssh 95 in
silver, total, $685. Is. The depth attained
on the lead is about FRI m 90 to 100 feet. This
is certainly Il fine yield, and the fact of ore Of
this quality being obtained in the Justis, Is
not only encouraging to stockholders on that
lead, but most encouraging to all others min
ing in that vicinity. The time was when
Californians were in the habit Of rebuking
us BY saying, when we attempted TO speak oil
the great mineral wealth of the Territory
THE Ophir is u very good mine, but out.
side of that you have nothing of much value
Other claims on the Comstock were soon
oppned and became paving mines, when we
were rebukcd with, "The Comstock lead IS
very rich, but outside of that you have moth
ing" Next the wording Of the reouSe was
altered to" Well, YES, there are very valu-
able miueS in the Comstock range, but every
thing else is wildcat" Late Developments
are making it very plain that there are good
mines TO be found in all parts Of the coun-
try. What We are to be rebuked with next,
remains to be seen.-ERterpr'Se.
PRoGRESS.-In the course Of couple of
hours ramble yesterday, in the vicinity Of
Gold Hill and American Flat, we were sur
priSed to see the improvements that have
been made in these localities within the past
few mouths. Cosy dwellings, the curtained
windows of which denoted the presence of
the presiding deities of home, extensive mills
apd almost countless mining buildings to
cover shafts, whimS and workshops, have
sprung up as If BY magic. There Is not
foot Of ground for many miles but what has
been located either as mines OF for some
other purpose connected with mining, large
tracts have been fenced in BY some parties.
Roads are seen winding round the noun
tainS leading to other districts that exhibit
similar progress. OF n truth, Nevada is
great Stlte, and great is the enterprise and
energy of the people Decentralization.
EMPIRE QUARTZ MILL.-The Empire mill
is situated Just below the Imperial. 1t
was built in 1861 by Messrs. Stewart and
kirkpatrick. 1t has sixteen common stamps
and two very large ones for breaking the
rock suitable for the batteries. They use %
thirtv-fve tons of rock per week. The en-
gine is sixty horse power, using three inches
of water and five cords OF wood per day.
The mill is substantially built, and all the
machinery is Of the trSt order.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN A well known
individual, from Gold Hill, appeared in the
streets, and about the principal saloons, YES
terday afternoon, dreSsedi in backwoodS style,
and wearing yeritable coon-skin cap. As
he was seen hob-nobbing with several candi-
hates on the State ticket, and other leading
politicians, it was rumored that the present
campaign was to be carried on in the style of
1910, when raccoons, log cabins and hard
cider were in vogue, and always carried the
day Union.

y MIRAGE.-A bright sun and dense fog
united this morning in making mitage that
could not be excelled in beauty. The valleys
away to the east were made TO assume the
appearance of n vast and tumbled sea, while
the high hills looked like islands. The lllu-

scene might almost fancy that ne heard the
roar Of the waves as they dashed against the
hcadland.
