The quantity of silver ore taken from the
COmstOck each year is prOdigiOus. 1t has
been estimated at 100000 tuns, but that is far
beneath the true fSures--for the Hale & NOrcross
alone produced 2SG}6 tuns in 1866, and 29,405
tuns in 1867 the Savage has been in the habit
of supplying over 10000 tuns per annum, the
Yellow Jacket 5000 tuns, Imperial over 10000
tuns and Crown Point about 10000. 1t would
be nearer the truth to estimate the total per
annum at 100000 tuus OF rock.

TIE LAST AND RICHEST DISCOVERY.
Although so much space has already been
devoted to the mines of Nevada, it will per-
haps be considered hardly fair not to mention
some of the leading mines in Lander County.
During the third quarter of 1866 the Great
Eastern yielded 4l25 tuns, at Sl5G 50 per tun;
the COrtez Giant 227, at 500 07; the Savage
Consol No. 1G0, at 1856 SO; and the Savage
COnsOl No. 2 23O, at $74 The highest yield
per tun on the county assessment.rOll was
$362 o. by the Chase q Gents but that mine
only furnished a. tuns during the three months.

County Mines, reduced at the mills during the
three months, is reported at 2030 tuns, yield

at 2,lI3 tuns, yielding S4lO,1lO 4o, or an
average per tun of S1SS 3D. Exciting
intelligence has just arrived from the
silver mines Of White Pine District. The
ore" says The San Francisco Bulletin of Oct.
6, "is the richest yet discovered i'll Nevada,
aud it is thus far mostly found in a deposit on
the surface as if from the decomposition OF
the outcropping rock. The Comstock lode was
first traced from similar surface deposit, but
not of equal extent or richness. If we are TO

masses of horn silver found on the surface ere
many feet in depth, and cover considerable
area. Some OF II Is SAID 10 Nleld-not to assay
