Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1874-11-08

During the canvass 1t was an utter impossi
bility for us to pay proper attention to the
mines in Devils Gate Mining District, but
henceforward we shall devote considerabl,
time and space to reliable reports. For thi.
purpose we call on Superintendent to furn
ish us reports. and trust they will favor us ii
this manner. Stocks are still upward bound
all along the line of the Comstock, not ever
the close Of the hottest campaign ever known
in the State having the influence to caust
them to topple. The wise heads say they are
going still higher during the coming month
and this, two, through merit. 1t is well
known to all in this section, that our mines
are looking better than at any time heretofore
and that the stock is not as high as the ap
pearance of the mines would warrant it as ar
investment. In another column will be found
the sales at the Stock Board in San Fran
cisco, yesterday afternoon. From our ex.
changes, and other reliable sources we gather
The following for the week:
DAYToN.-The ore slopes between the first
and second levels have never looked better
than at the present time. During the pas,
week the second level has been connected
with the old Felix Wine, giving q splendid
circulation of air throughout the level. This
connection will enable the company to CON-
fortably continue their north drift to the old
Cherokee ground. The south drift on the
same level is making good progress toward
the Kossuth line. On the third station level,
at the turn-table stope, there is observable a
decided improvement. The main south drift
on this level has its whole face in paying ore.
crosscut east from The face of the drift is
now in distance Of Is feet and is all the way
in good paying ore. The deposit at this point
shows very broad and heavy and indicates a
very large chimney Of ore between the cross
cut and the Kossuth line, as the distance is
AGO feet and as they see something of the
same ore in the Kossuth. The Woodwork
mill is kept steadily running, reducing about
40 tons of ore per day.
DANEY.--The main west drift on the 400
level reached and cut the vein last Wednes-
day night. There was Immediately such a
rush of water that no further work could be
zone. SOme quartz OF uHt qudhty was
washed out by the food of water. AS soon as
the water shall have been sufficiently re-
duced the work of prosecuting the vein will
be commenced
KossUrH-The work Of putting in the new
plunger pump was completed Friday morn
ing, and sinking the main shaft was resumed
in the evening of that day. The prospects of
developing a fine body of paying ore in the
southern portion of the mine are quite favor
able.
CosMoPoLITAN.-This mine is being opened
up by Supt. Cahill and is showing finely
They are working in good milling ore. Heavy
machinery will be placed in position within Il
short time sufficient to sink to the 100o-foot
level.
SUTRo-The main shaft is making good
headway in species of vein matter which
works well. This ground is mixture of
quartz, clay and porphyry. No water at pres
ent
BUcKEYE.-There is no change of interest
in any of the ore-producing sections of the
mine. The mill is kept steadily running.
GENEsEE No. 2.-Bottom of shaft in hard
BLASTING ground, consisting of porphyry and
qus mixed.
