THE LOWER LEvELs.-The bottoms of
our mines eve looked less like "drop-
ping out" than they do At the present
time. 1t is true that in some Of them,
all the pay ore they have is in the upper
workings, toward the surface, but 1t is
also true that at the lower levels OF
some Of the principal ones-the Hale &
Sorcross, Yellow Jacket, Grown Point,
and Kentuck. for instance-extensive
bodies Of excellent pay ore are found,
and these too at u depth below where
explorations have heretofore extended,
and with every indication Of confirm.
met to an indefinite depth. There is
no particular reason to doubt the exist
ence Of similar good deposits Of ore at
similar depths in the other mines along
the Corstock whose present lower
levels are comparatively much nearer
the surface. The Bullion and Imperial.
Empire shafts are deep down in the
bowels of the old Comstock, yet some
how they fail to develop the much GOV.
e,ed good bodies Of pay ore They are
not deep enough yet, either Of them.
Two or three hundred feet deeper should
mos, certainly bring to light more or less
good milling ore. It is quite u prob
lem, however, al what point Of depth
the mines Of the Comstock will cease to
pay anything more than expenses, for
surely unless the ores are found richer
in proportion TO increase Of depth there
must be a point from which il will cost
$50 or $40 per tor to extract aud raise
thirty or forty dollar ore. About that
time the Sutro tunnel will be much de-
manded and taken into consideration.
DISTINGUISHED MILITARY yisIroRs.-
Major General Ord, commanding tho
Department of California, with Colonel
Brown, his Aid-de-Canp, and Major F.
Mesrs, commanding Fort Churchill,
were in town yesterday. The General
inspected the troops and post Of Church
i'll on the 18th inst, and left this morn
ing on his return to Headquarters at
San Francisco. The military party took
II look at some Of out principal mines
Yesterday, by invitation Of General John
b. Winters, the Superintendent, going
down into the Yellow Jacket mine.
They expressed considerable surprise
aud qualification at the extensive mining
operations they saw, and were the recip-
tents Of numerous courtesies and atten-
lions wherever they went. They also
visited the Savage niue and other rep
~resentative Washoe institutions. Gen.
Ord ha. made his mark in history as
ono Of the fighting Generals Of the late
war, and it is gratifying to honor oil
such who come among US.
