TuE INrEnlAL-ENPIRE.- This inter-
es,inr institution is Mt length running
all right aud regular. We say interest
ing institution, because il has become
the grand principal poin, Of "ll-absorh-
ing interest to every body dealing in tho
mines, or having the present and future
prosperity of the Comstock ledge at
heart. Things have always gone wrong
with this institution ever since tue new
machinery started into operation. ono
scandalous accident after another has
intcrposed with singular opportnneness
To preyent or rctard the actual develop.
men, Of the mine. especially since the
east wall Of the Comstock WAS cut and
the water tapped, until enrious ont
siders, or those fearless in the express
sion Of their real opinion, have ever
openly advocated the idea that all these
accidents were the result OF actual de-
sign and previous instruction, in order
TO boar down this us well MS other
stocks which could be affected by 1t.
Whether such was really the case or
not, those most conversant aud compc-
tent may do the Judging ; we merely
sneak of what we know and see IN tue
premises. Tho always-nccded alteration
in tho cutoff and brake arrange
ments Of the engine have been made
within tho last forty-cight hours,
also certain improvements 20 the
shelves and guides Of the gailows frame,
all tending to preclude the possibility OF
accidents in tho future similar 10 what
hnyc been so common in the past, anu
o new 6OO-gallon battling tank has been
brought to bear in the case. AT q
o'clock last evening tho machinery
started into operation again, and IL now
working as well rs could be desired,
raising the accumulated body of water
from the shaft. Two of these 6OO-gal-
lon tanks are now bringing the water to
the surface at the rate Of $4,000 gallons
An hour. At noon to-day the water
was about eight feet above the track
floors of tho drifts. II will be sufficiently
reduced tomorrow to allow Of cleaning
out the drifts and getting at work in tue
main ledge once more. Before the mia.
die of next week, ut any rate, actual
mine DEVELOPMENT should be actively
progressing, and we hope to record such
to be the fact ut that time. Wait /"
little longer.
