srocKs.-An honest miner writes to us

aud wishes if We can tell him, why s.
many worthless mines situated near Vir
o;nia. are dealt in with avidity and quot
"A n, priees that far exceed the rea
valus that is if they have any at all
Our correspondent says, and truly. tha
many of those so-called mines nevel
r.isod ore enough in "a hours to keep Q

That ia all SO; but then our correspond.
ami must recollect that those mines are
located somewhere round if not on the
Cons,ock, and that magic name is what
Owes them their apparent value. As to
cur Phoebe stocks, We shall have to bide
onr time. Every mining camp has to
bavs lis ms and downs, and none has
aTperiencad greater vicisltudes or changes
~ fortune than those situated on the
Comstock. But few years since and il
seemed as if Virginia and Gold Hill were
only to be tenanted by Piutes who would
5srnte possession with tho bats and
owls that were expected to inherit the
hobi.,tions of the dwellers on the Com.
stock. Right here, We may say, that
bad il not been for the iirmness and fore
cas-, Of the much maligned Sharon, it is
not improbable but tina! condition of
things would have supervened. As it
was. the people wanted to get away; sold
their property for half nothing, or gave
it away. Anything to get loose and flee
away from Virginia, as Christian did
from the City of Destruction. Now, see
what Virginia is. and yet there are only
three or four paying mines IN the whole
outfit. Just so it will be with Phoebe.
Now is the time of our tribulaton. Those
smarties down in San Francisco, who
know it all, have given Phoebe black
eye They shake their heads knowingly
when Phoebe stocks are mentioned. Oh!
no. They won't do; the bottom has fall
len out, etc. 1t is no use to point to the
millions taken out, the dividends paid,
the favorable prospects; oh no; nothing
will do. The bottom has fallen out, and
"there's an end on t." Now, the fact is,
that il all signs that experience
and judgment can detect, do
not tail, the mines on the
great Phoebe lead will, in the course
OF few months, come to better ore than
ever, and in larger and more regularly
distributed quantities. True, this may
not be the case; no one can see into the
gound. But for all that. facts and pres
ent appearances are all in favor of our
hypothesis. That the lead pays well
800 feet under ground, nearly a quarter
Of a mile South of the Raymond & Ely
shaft, is an acknowledged fact. Another
fact, that between No. 3 Meadow Val

ORC has boon found on the 1900 foot
level, that carries much metal, Int conld

Meadow Valley, in its lower level,
far East from this point, another
body of good ore has been found. All
these things are indcia that so far from
the bottom of the ledge falling out, that
We have not yet reached the best of it. |
