Tn. HALE 4 NoRcaoss sra,xn.-The

rumOrS have Deen put III
regarding it, induced principally by the
v.rv mysterious manner in which OPP
s,oi;ons Mt the mine wero ondue'eu'
The facts Of the case are suos.un., oaG
a, follows: A drift known Ms the "sao-
foo, level" hs, been run for some time
~, towards the ledge, from the bottom
r. he new shaft. 4 rich strike Of ore
ros anticipated. Therefore, knowing
the effect il would have upon the price
of stocks, as soon IS the east wall OF
the ledge was cut, about 3 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, the miners,
twenty-five in number, employed in the
drift, had an embargo placed upon them
so far as communication with the out
side world was concerned. Arrange
meuts had been previously made for
boarding and lodging them ut the office
Of the company, within the hosting
works, and they were, by mutual agree
ment, kept thus confined, as it were,
working six-hour shifts, four men on a
shift, and kept under constant serVil-
lance, lest they should communicate
with outsiders. They were well fed
and provided for, were paid Sl2 per
day, and had o jolly time. They were
released about 10 o'clock last evening.
As near as we can learn, some very
good ore has been found, but not Of as
great an extent as was anticipated
enough, however, together witn 'he
manner of operation, to run the price oil
the stock up to a very high fgure-over
s., 900 per share, rs may be seen oy our
stock report. II will be some time YET
before the west wall of the ledge VIII
be reached, and further developments
of some kind, for the better or worse,
of course remain to be made. There
NAV be good policy on the part OF the
company in their recent action, but II
is generally looked upon with suspicion
by many outsiders as an old stoeklloo'
bling dodge, heretofore played in Cali
fornis as well as here. We certainly
hone, however, for the good Of the State
nj large, aud Storey county in particu-
lar. that this "930-foot level" may be
all that the richest fancy has painted it,
and that the entire Comstock may prove
fully as good at the same depth. "Per'
