fine developments when the company

This claim Is situated In Silver City
District, n little to the northeast Of
the Succor mine, and some distance to
the east of the Comstock ledge. 1t
was worked from 1850 to 1864, the ore
being mostly crushed In the Eureka
mill, and paying from $40 to $50 to
the ton. In 1854 the work was stopped
ON account Of tho great body Of water
tapped. which nearly filed the mine.
A tunnel has been commenced lower
down the hill. which will cut the ledge
one hundred feet below the old works.
This tunnel Is now In about 80 feet.
and will have about 100 feet more to
run.
