LOCAL MININe SUMMARY.

II Is useless for us on this occasion
to refer to the present chronic stock
excitement; everybody knows all
about 1t. Some stocks are inflated to
far above their real merits, while 9TH
ers are quoted at no more than their
actual worth, but even less. The Gold
Hill end Of the Old Comstock Is turn
ing out the lions share Of the bullion
product, the wonderful ore deposit de-
veloped at the lowest level OF the
Crown Point and Belcher mines being
the best, most extensive and most pro-
ductive known Of in the world. Still
farther south, mines long idle are now
once more being galvanized into new
existence, stimulated by the immense
discovery aforesaid, and q large amount
of work Is being expended upon them
with excellent prospects OF success,
good milling ore being already devel-
oped in several cases. The Virginia sec
tion OF the lode Is also decidedly looking
up and In a most cheering manner.
Richer strikes are publicly reported In
the lowest levels Of the Savage mine,
and privately the 0phir is sand also to
have a good thing In that way, which
NAV come to light some day or other.
The prospects Of the Hale & Norcross,
and Choliar Potosi and other mines are
excellent and highly encouraging.
Indeed, all things considered, the gen.
eral mining aspect Of the great Com
stock lode Is better and more promis-
ing than it ever vas before. Business
of all kinds is livelisr in consequences,
the Virginia and Truckee railroad Is
kept running to its fullest capacity
transporting ore from the mines to the
mills, and bringing up huge loads Of
timber, wood, etc., and more men are
given good steady employment every
where ut excellent wages than ever
before. Below we give a summary OF
the present condition Of the mines OF
this vicinity obtained from the most
reliable sources. This summary we
shall give regularly every Saturday
hereafter, for the benefit Of the general
