Quite an important strike was made
In this mine day before yesterday. At
the depth Of % feet the vein suddenly
widened out into . fine body Of ore
over i've feet ln width. assays from
which run as high as $l60 to the tom.
It Il essentially silver ore, bearing lit
tie or no gold. and looks like the reg
ular old Comstock kind. The ledge In
this mine pays from the surface down.
A little water Il coming In at the bot
tom Of the SHAFT. G-.

The ore body at the l60O-foot level
elbows over 10 feet In width, but owing
to water coming In, 1t was thought
beat not to cut further east until a
pump Is put into the incline. 1t Is
thought that q portion Of the same
body Is found In the 1500-foot level.
The face of the main drlft east at this
level Ia In barren white quartz. and
quito q stream Of water Is coming In.
The Empire Company has levied an
assessment OF $40 per share.

The 1,lo0-foot station Is fully opened
for the drift to the ledge at that level.
The drin west at the 1,000-foot level Is
In 40 feet aud the face Is In sledge mat
ter. Good ore might be Encountered
at any time. Two new engines and
boilers are being put In at the holsting
works. When all the machinery u
put In and completed these will be
among the finest works OIL the Com.

The ledge In the main tunnel Is now
over twelve feet In width and shows q
fine body Of excellent pay ore. The
| vein Is we'll defined aud Of the regular
Comstock silver ore. This promises
to become one Of the best paying mines
on that part Of the Comstock at no dis
tant day.

Daily yield about 50 tons Of fine ore
from the old fifth and sixth levels.
The ore breasts promise to hold out
for several months yet. Meanwhile a
drift Is commenced at the 4O0.foot
level which Is expected to develop
something good In the way Of ore In
the course Of a couple OF months. The
], 3O0.foot level still continued full Of
water.
Tho daily yield OF this valuable
mine will be considerably Increased
next week, In order I supply an addi-
tional mill. The ore Is paying splen-
dldly. Tho Superintendent will be
back from San Francisco In a day or
two, where he has gone TO purchase q
large now mill and other machinery
for the company.
