The Consolidated Virginia Mining
Company, says the Enterprise Of the 23d,
are now hosting through the Gould 4
Curry shaft 100 tons Of ore per day, and
Though the main shaft OF their own
works 40 tons, making total per day
of 240 tons Of excellent milling ore. Inc
Bacon and Mariposa mills are now run
mining on ore from the mine, and III TWO
or three days the Occidental mill Will
start up on it. The :hird compartment

In front of the works, on street,
| handsome and substantial stone wall 2oO

in height has been constructed, upon

aud the carpenter shop. But one OF the
new dumps, however, Is completed, but
good progress is being made on the
others, and they will shortly be ready for
use. There will be half dozen OF these
dumps, and each will be capable Of hold
ing several hundred tons of ore. AS soon
as possible, it is the intention to build

and substantial on the Comstock lode
they have an abundance of rich ore; theii
stock is daily advancing in price; and If,
with all this, they are still unable to be
happy, they should turn the property oyel
