More Good orc-surfaee Mining.
Mr.. LII Winston this morning showed
us a fifty pound sack of ore selected
from the Groupings of a ledge IN tue
old Silver Star District, about three
miles cas-, of here. Some of it assays
over City dollars per ton, and he says
he can get any quantity Of ore similar
TO what he showed US, and which he
estimates will average from S25 to $50
per ton. This ore is from one of the
scores of old abandoned claims in that
direction, which were located ut an
early date, and after u short period oil
prospecting without any rich ore being
developed in sinking shafts OF q nun
dred feet or so in depth, were left. NO
such good ore was found in this ledge
ut the bottom Of the shaft as rs now
discovered in the groupings. Nr. WIN,
{ is one of the original loea'ors' auu
was induced by the recent good devei-
opments ia the groupings OF tue h"u!
BRYAN to investigate the groupings OF
this ledge. IL is his Intention now to
obtain il possible, through legal means,
full possession of the claim, when he
Will proceed TO work 1t Systematically,
taking the ore, carefully selected, from
the surface. Where his partners who
originally located aud p~rospeeted the
claim, are at the preseat time, he knows
not, therefore, does not care to rush ex-
tensively into the development OF it just
vet, lest some Of them becoming aware
Of its true value might come in Tor their
share, and give him trouble. The name
of the ledge, its exact locality and work
ing Weld will all be known in due time
Mr.. Winston expresses il as his opinion
that the groupings OF several other
ledres whereabouts, rs we'll as in Flowcry
District, will be found to pay well on
due examination. We look to see pro-
per investigation made Of the matter
during the coming season, n from our
own Knowledge we think the idea Will
hold good in Palmyra, Indian Springs,
Sullivan, Vaudewa,er, and other out
side districts as well as in those already
mentioned. The proper way is to open
the groupings, selec, ten or twenty tons
of none but the very best ore, and take to
the nearest and most eligible mill
In case this amount should be tound 10
pay, all right; keep on hauling more OF
the same kind. II not, the more promp'-
" the thing is abandoned ana some
other ledge adopted, the better. There
is no good reason why a ledge that does
no, "a at the surface should pay at q
grea, depth. 1t is poor policy in quartz
mining, and we think a pretty much ex-
ploded one, to go to sinking deep pros
pecting shafts on lodges the groupings
Of which cannot be made TO pay. Had
not our great Coms,ock paid well at the
surface Of the grouud, 1t never wouIu

shares Of the stock of the Hale 4 Nor
cross which are not owned By the two
con,endiug factions in San Francisco
who are trying to get control OF the
compauy's business at the annual cleo
ton of Trustees, which is TO be held on
the 18th Of March next. Three OF these
shares are held by u working-man, IN
the Ogden mill, Virginia city, who, we
are informed, was offered .ffv thousand
dollars for them yesterday; u he de-
clined the ofrer-saying that nothing
shor, Of an hundred thousand could
buy them! Lucky holder!-but simple
ton (perhaps) for not taking the oner.
