"GIORY TO OLD ASHoE. '-lalR
about hauling heavy loads in any part
Of the world as compared to washoe
Why. there is no comparison. The
bi" Liverpool and Australian horses
could hardly do better than Il old
Comstock plugs, such are seen daily
in Gold Hill and Virginia. One OF
Simon Osg's ten horse teams, with one
wagon and three back actions, this
morning hauled from the Overman
mine To Briggs mill ut Johntown.
below Silver City. 73.0J0 pounds of
silver ore ut one load-the driver being
Nicholas b. Russell. The total weight
hauled. including the wagons, was
9O.69O pounds, Can such things be?
Bet yer life . Getting to be of daily oc-
cIlrrence OH the Comstock-but except
Breed Il Crosby, and Simon Ogg,
the astonishing experiment is not at
tempted by everybody. Between the
large railroad trains and such eNtraor-
binary teaming, the public can draw
an Inference that considerable ore is
being extracted from our mines-and
that il will not be long before diyi.
dends will he declared by some OF
them. Last Sunday, II Of Breed II
Crosby's twelve horse teams, Marion
Bennett driver. with II wagon and
three back actions, hauled 5000
pounds of ore from the ID street dump
of the Gould s. Curry mine to the Sac
ramcnto mill, Johntown, and next
day hauled another load OF the same
sort, weighing so pounds less. Nearly
10 tons at n single load is not bad, by
any means, yet Ogg's big load was
nearly seven tons the heaviest. We
bear well. IN mind that not many
months ago the heaviest loads ever
hauled in this country had not exceeded
. 5000 pounds. and this load to-day
certainly il the heaviest ever hauled
on wagon wheels. IL requires exceed
imgly good navigation on the part of
the teamSter to bring such n long team
and train of heavily loaded wagons
around the short turns in the roads. y
few wears ago 4 ''back action" or
second wagon hitched behind the first
or principal wagon, was 4 novelty.
Now teamstcrs frequently nave
two of them. and last Of all. three arc
found advantageous. They add anotb6r
one almost yearly, and alreadyEhes
long wagon trains resemble 1nins OF
carSeyes, and they haul not y 6ch less.
O"c says quartz hauling now re
