These tables are Of undoubted authenticity Table No
l. has been framed from the Of the Supenntend
Of the several mines named therein, while table No
H. has been copied from the stock circular OF leading
San Francisco journal The brefness of the period to
which table No refers and the pancy Of IFS returns
may indeed detract somewhat from its value Bat though
said defects may tell against the table, they certainly have
no tendency lessen opinion Of the metallic resources
Of the Virginia City district For if fifteen Of its mines
yielded over 100000 in the three months ending with
April 1865 how much greater nst have been the gross
product of the whoc The large amount OF assessments
paid by the various companies enumerated in table No
H. mus; also be regarded proof OF the enormous me
tac wealth of that sectun of tho Silver State since it is
evident that these companies would have risked so
heavy an outlay their had they not expected 10
be reimbursed twenty fold Here is an illustrations The
Gould s. Curry stockholders have paid about $4,000 IN
assessments but in 1868 their mine yielded them over
ZOO OOO while its gross product to the present time has
been little short Of $1O0OOOOO Mines OF conrse, require
rnouev as we'll as confidence labor and perseverance, for
their successful development But long the above
proportion holds between outlay and income none need
fear to invest capital therein.
