For amount OF stock on hand at the

company, see tables Nos. 5, 6, Z and s
of the tabular statements herewith sub
mitted.
During the year we have erected at the
mine first. class hosting works, consisting
of a steam engine with the necessary
Fearing attached; two sets of boilers, one
Of which has capacity to work the mine
to a depth of 2, 500 feet, unless water in
consider bic quantity is met with, in
which case additional machinery will be
rsGnirod The new buildings erected at
the mine are the main engine house,
boiler-bouse, blacksmith shop and coal
house, together with improvements on
the carpenter shop and ore house. The
Lightner shaft has attained depth of
1910 feet. To the depth of 900 feet it
consists of but two compartments; at that
point a third compartment was added.
The rock in the bottom Of the shaft pre-
seuts the same general characteristics of
MI the material through which the shaft
has passed from the surface down, still
being in a qnartzte formation. The
ninth $3.50 feet is the lowest level on
which the vein has been cut. The pros
pect ia a Wine being sunk from this level
is very encouraging.
The thirty. stamp mill has been changed
from. dry to wet crushing, and two pans
have been added to the amalgamating de-
partment. The engine has been taken
up and reset in a very substantial man
ner. AT the twenty-stamp mill two new
litty-four.inch boilers have been put up,
which afford ample steam for amalgama-
ton and to run the entire machinery of
the mill. Automatic battery feeders have
been placed at each and every battery at
both mills. Both mills are in as high q
state Of efficiency as can be desired. The
water pipes leading from the spring to the
mills "a distance of one and a quarter
miles) have been placed under ground,
by which n regular supply of water is
furnished the mills. The Nevada Cen.
tral Railroad has been Of great benefit to
the company in affording cheap and sure
transportations of ore at all seasons
saving thus far of about $35, 900, as com.
pared with team rates, has been made.
The first series of ore deposits seem tc
be about exhausted, and the work of eI'
ploration as yet have failed to develoI
other bodies of ore. : But it is highl,
probable that this great Panaca fssur
(the Comstock of this county,, which ha
produced its millions of treasure, ant
made for the Raymond & Ely world
wide reputation, will at some depth yielt
other deposits of ore even richer ant
moro extensive than those heretofor,
worked. II. H. DAY, Superintendent.
