LOCAL MINING ITEMS.
The most important development for
many mon,hs in any Of our mines Is a
strike of rich ore developed within the
last day or two in the Crown Point
mine, more than doubling the price Of
the stock. and giving others n refresh
ING degree Of %buoyancy, which will be
made even more manifest next week.
This new development is in q short
rise abovesthe l,l00-foot level, in the
low-grade ore deposit recently found
in the south driTs at that point, and
which is now pretty we'll concluded
uyon as the lower portion or making"
of Il good and probably extensive ore
body above. Between there and the
G00-foot level is all unproSpected
ground; therefore there is plenty of
room for u huge ore deposit. As yet
the new ore streak or body is only six
or eight feet wide, but widening rs
further raised upon. The importance
of this new and rich development at
such 4 depth is ~incalculable, not only
10 the mines Of Gold Hill, but also to
the entire Comstock ledge. The Bel
cher mine, which aljoins 1t OF the
south, Is also looking better, and some
very good ore Is being taken FROM a
winze some so feet below the 335-foot
level, and about so feet from the Segre-
gated Belcher line. The streak Is
about 8 feet wide, and very promising,
fine ore. In the southwest drift at the
400-foot level, also, a promising body

average SIS per ton. The daily yield
of the mine Is only from six to ten
tons at present. with a good prospect
for an increase before long. There is
nothing new to speak Of In the Yellow
Sacket, Imperial and other mines.
About 10 tons of ore per day have been
taken out of the old Bowers and Trench
mines, in Gold Hill proper, for some
time past, through the old Stevenson
incline, by Motz, Scale and others. but
they temporarily suspended operations
day before yesterday; the work Will
probably be resumed next e
This ore was taken from a depth Of
about 400 from the surface. and Is
rather low grade. In the old Bowers
mine at that depth there Is body OF
this ore fifteen feet wide. The mines

particularly. The northwest drift from
the Chollar shaft has nearly reached an
important point, $50 feet beneath the
north portion of the Belvidere section,
and very promising indications have
been encountered within h last day
or two. Generally speaking. h mines
along the old ComStock are looking
very well indeed.
FIRE AT CARsoN.-The Register OF
this morning says that a fire broke out
in Gaige 4 Mays Magnolia Saloon, at
m early hour yesterday morning,
which came near proving disastrous.
It seems that the range used by Charley
Legate in cooking for his chop stand
had heated the brick wall at the end
of the counter early in the night, and
that about daylight In the morning the
woodwork about 1t took fire. Before
the saloon was opened, yesterday
morning, a gentleman passing saw the
room filled with smoke, and breaking
n pane of glass in a sash door, entered
and found the end of Legate's counter
in flames. They were soon extin-
guished, and thus n contlagration pre-
Vented which would have destroyed
the county buildings, and perhaps u
large section of the business portion
Of the city.
