Daily yield 16O tons Of ore from thu
ore breasts between the 1900 aud l400
and the l400 and 15OO-foot levels
These ore bodies continue to show q
decided improvement In both the looks
and the quality Of the ore extracted,
The main south drift on the S00-fooi
level or second station, toward the
Chollar, has developed a fine, extern
sive, and important body Of good ore,
some IS feet east of the old workings
Of the vein In former years. This de.
post has been sufficiently prospected
to prove that Il Is not only an exten.
sive but q valuable body OF ore. and
will add much to the value OF the
mine. The main north drift oil the
1700-foot level has yet about 20 feet TO
run to reach the point Of connection
with the north winze from the 1900
foot level, which winze has IL feet to
sink To make the connection. When
this connection is completed It will
afford a fine circulation of good air,
and the work Of prosecuting the ledge
on this level will be Immediately conf
menced at several different points and
the main drift still bs continued to the
northward.

The main north drift on the 1857
foot level from the Gould & Curry shaft
Is making excellent progress, the en-
tire face of the tunnel In good ore.
The body Of ore developed by this DRIFT
Is both extensive, and Of high grade,
aud from present appearances prom
ises onelof the most valuable ore de-
yelopmeats made on the Comstock
lode for many months past. The ex-
traction or ere for milling was COM
menced In good earnest yesterday
afternoon, and we hope soon to be able
to place the Virginia Consolidated on
our list OF divldend-paying mines. Tho
shaft Is down 30 feet below the 500
foot level. making excellent Roadway,

three feet per day. There being no
