OUTSIDE MISEs.-We are pleased TO
note the increasing tendency prevailing
to develope some Of the really promising
lodges in this section, outside Of the
regular Comstock. The old ST. John
mine, situated north of the Occidental,
has already yielded nbou, 1000 tons of
paying ore, which was crushed ut the
Birdsall mill near Dayton, and during
the coming Summer will doubtless be
vigorously worked. Il is probably the
same lead aS that upon which the Occi-
dental mine is located. Several COM
pauics are opening mines in the vicinity
of the two claims named, aad we look
for some valuable discoveries before
next Fall. The success OF the Lady
Bryan Company has also melted many
to resume work upon claims in Flowery
District that have long lain idle. The
working Of the mines of Palmyra Dis
trict, which was interrupted by tho
heavy snow Of hast Winter will be re-
commenced shortly, and we confidently
anticipate excellent results therctrom
during the coming season.
FROM PINE GaovE.-Wes had the
pleasure OF meeting our old time friend
T. W. Abraham, formerly OF the Como
Sen;inel, yesterday morning in Virginia,
he having just arrived from Pine Grove.
He reports all quiet on the Walker, and
everything and everybody in and about
Pine Grove in IL healthy and prosperous
condition. He brought in no bullion
with him, except II little in the way OF
pocket change, being merely OH bust
ness. He says ahe next & brick F" from
there will be from the Wilson mine, as
the Wilson mill has been running on ore
from that mine for the last three or four
weeks. A similar gratifying arrange
ment may be looked for from the Midas
mine, which has been supplying the
Pioneer mill with ore. Abraham is
youns, good looking and healthy, aud
on the marry. Grass widows are
his weakness-his strong suit.

firm in Virginia continues to supply the
