perty, and no sales Of shares or feet ever
are to be seen ~emanating from the Stock
Board, San Francisco. The mine is now
under the Superintendent Of ]. W.
Wright, Esq. In company with the fore
man, ]. NJ. Johnson, we commenced our
descent to this mine a few days ago. Ar
irving at the go feet level, we proceeded
to a careful inspection Of the rock. Cham
Der after chamber we visited, now going
up ladders and then down, but every
where saw as fine a body Of ore. as ever
showed itself on the Comstock lode.
T~hir,y-ive tons Of rock are raised daily,
the bulk Of which is sacked up for more
careful working than is usually given at
custom mills. This selected rock assays
from $500 to $1,000 per ton. The New
York and Manhattan Mills, Washoe VAL
lev. work up the balance. It is confident
ly expected that at least 100 tons per day
will shortly be taken cut Of this mine. In
going through the various chambers or
galleries, we could not but notice the
careful manner III which they progressed
in their work in this mine. As fast as
rock was extracted from any chamber, the
platform was removed, timber saved Of all
description. and the vacant space filed up
solidly with refuse rock. II IS q great
advantage in the working OF this mine,
that the Crown Point mine, which adjoins
il on the South, is so much lower as to
drain this mine completely. No d~rppings
did we encounter in any part Of this mine.
The ventilation was good there, for not
withstanding We spent considerable time
in the mine. we experienced no inconve-
nience whatever. Fifty men are now
employed in and abou: this mine, though
but few Of this number are a, present en-
gagged in getting out pay rock. The most
Of them are employed IN sinking a shaft,
and doing the necessary work for the
future use and development Of this really
first class mine. The width of this part
of the Comstock on which they were
working was &c feet. The rock dipped
to the East, at an angle Of forty-two de-
grees. Since our visi, TO this MIN we
have been informed that at their SOS feet
level, they have struck rock that even
assays better than at their upper level.
We are glad 10 hear this. But Why
should any one have a doubt Of this mine:
Il is located between the Crown Point
and Yellow Jacket. two of the best mines
we lave in Gold Hill. Some litigation
embarrasses this company in regard to
boundaries, but 64 feet Of the claim IS be-
yond dispute. We most heartily wish
success TO all concerned in this mine.
Particularly do we wish to convey our
respects to the Superintendent. Mr..
Wright, and to the foreman Of the works,
Mr.. Johnson. for courtesies and atten-
tons paid to us on our visit TO the Ken
tuck mine.

institution which costs the county only
tw~enty-four thousand dollars a year-the

dozen q month. Crhis county hospital

perpetrated upon a taX-paying community
in this State.) Bishop was locked up in
the Gold Hill Sta,ion-H House last night,
and this morning, about eight o'clock, he
broke out Of the single roof Of the cell
where he was confined. After reaching
terra Grma. he went and got a drink, and
