Tur EAsr Clay WALL or THE Cow

Friday kvening-----D0cemhor Is, 1865
TIE EAST Clay WALL OF THE Con-
srocK CUT IN TUE EMPIRE
SHArr.-0n Saturday last the east clay
wall Of the Comstock ledge was inter-
sscted by the Imperial Empire shaft in
sinking perpendieularly, the ledge dip
ping east at Al angle OF about As de-
gress, being a little sharper angle than
it was 200 feet above, in the 9oo-foot
level, therefore it was encountered con-
siderably sooner than was anticipated.
This new development was kept very
quiet for awhile, but it soon leaked out,
and 10 now pretty generally known.
The news has created quite a hutter
among the Shorts" and the assess
ment Of S25 per share, which was i'm
mediately levied on the Imperial, is sup
posed by many to have been made with
view to bear" the stock from inter-
ested motives. The company is in debt
to the amount of SEQ, 900 for winter
supplies, etc., it is true, yet by the time
this assessment a be collected the
debt might easily be l~iquidated with the
produce of the old mine itself. Sink
ing in the shaft was discontinued for a
day or two, but was again proceeded
with day before yesterday noon. Yes
terday the shaft attained the l ,lO0-foot
level, and on the west side OF the bot
tom the clay has "come in" two or
three feet wide. From this point a drift
will DO opened west through the ledge,
and with every prospect Of cutting at
least one body of pay ore. Before run
ming this drift, however, the SHAFT will
be sunk twenty-five feet further in order
to form a " sump," or water reservoir.
Coxo "CouISe Our."-Como, Pal
myra District, once had her palmy days
like other mushroom towns in the early
period Of the Washoe silver discovery,
but a. her lodges failed to contribute
their expected amount of bullion to the
commercial money market Of the world,
Como fell into a decline and was finally
deserted. Although actually driven
away for the want of means Of support,
and in reality starved out, yet all those
miners and other species Of Comedies
seemed chrouically bent OF believing
that the mines Of Como were rich and
would yet be made to pay II Of these
days they always hopefully looked for
ward and spoke Of "when Como
out" That mythical time has at length
arrived, and Como is now literally COM
iu9 out. The town contained many
really good and well built frame houses,
