II EVENING NEWS.

Browne TO "inspect" officially the mines
Of this State, for 4 report to the Secre-
tary Of Treasury, next December. In
passing through Virginia, on his way to
Austin, Tuow, why not get mad, be-
cause the DR.. is devoting his attentions
to Eastern Nevada the Dr.. gave a
glance AT our mines. He says that in
our county a marked Improvement in
the state Of things existing for the past
two or three years ia visible, ''in fact, it
is much to be questioned if the mining
interest in this section vas ever before
in such a healthful and generally salts
factory condition as At present. The
leading mines ut this place are no doubt
worked in the interest of the stock bro
kers Just the same now as ever; but II
has ~lstterly become the case that a mine
must have been brought TO n productive
condition aud present good evidences OF
pernanency and wealth, or at least"
reasonable promise of such, before II
can be made subServient to the purposes
Of this class-an absolutely worthless
or unknown piece of mining ground no
longer answering as II vehicle TOR specu-
latiye operations. Reduced to these
conditions. the business OF dealing IN
these mining stocks. though still suth-
cicn,ly precarious, is less dangerous
than formerly. Just now, nearly all
the claims that eau fairly be ranked
among the producing mines on the Com
stock are yielding moderately we'll
some of them very largely, though the
quantity Of ore being raised is not so
great, nor OF so high average grade, as
was turned out several years ago. This
does not result so much from any abso-
lutte deterioration in the quality Of the
ore as from the practice OF asserting II
less closely, n vast amount of lower
grade now being worked that were
formerly rejected. Thousands of tons
taken from the dump piles OF the mines
FRS, opened have, during the past year,
been milled with profit. Portions Of the
lode passed BY in the early days as be-
ing too poor TO warrant removal, are
ais being stopped down and brought to
the surface.
