SO that we have as the grand total pro-
duction OF these two splendid mines over
s26 OOO, 900 produced and over ia, 100000
divided to the stockholders Us clear profit
over the cost and expense of working the
mines.
In the months Of April and May, 1873, before
the water commenced falling In the Carson
river, the production Of the Belchcr and
Crown Point iuincs was a, $50 29S-cqud to
ssl 600 per day.
The last reports from tho Bclchcr mine con-
tnue to show wonderful prospects. The
breasts Of ore look well. The south drift of
the l300Lioot level Is In distance Of S62 feet,
whole face In good orc Of the assay value Of
| Sl03; this Is further than the ore has been
traced In the upper levels, and shows, rs
greater depths arc reached, increased lengths
OF pay orc.
The Wines from the 1900 to the 1iOO-foot
level indicate beyond question good body Of
orc In the l40O-foot level, indicating the abil-
ity of the Belcher mine to pay dividends for
yenrs, and yield as much or more In the fu-
turc Us In the past, as there Is about $50 feet
Of undeycloped ground south, through which
the orc body is tending as greater depth Is
reached.
The body Of ore developed In Crown Point
and Belcher, aud to be developed, exceeds
anything Of tho kind ever known on this
coast, and shows how layishly nature has
scattered her wealth In our mountain ranges.
II Is impossible to estimate the untold millions
OF wealth yet 10 be developed upon this
coast. In less than thirty years, from all
sources, we have produced not less than
o., 0O0, ,00O, 900 Of gold and silver. From single
body Of orc upon the Comstock vein nearly
s27, 900 900 have been taken out In few
months Let science find the proccss.-chcap
and easy-to subduc rcbellious ores; let ma
chlncry be improved and laborcrs multiplied
upon our coast; aud II is impossible to lore
cast the splendid and dazzling future that
awaits our country from this inexhaustiblc
source of wealth,
