The Virginia Chronicle says: The
Union Consolidated Mining Company
have determined to sink shaft, far east
of their present workings. and nearly
due north Of the G. & G. shaft. Robert
Sherwood, President Of the Company,
will be there in q few days, when its
exact location will be decided upon The
new shaft will consist of three compart-
ments, and will be substantial and well
constructed as any on the Comstock
ledge. The Union Consolidated mine
has heretofore been prospected only by
drift northward from the l300.foot level
of the Ophir. When this drift was
started, it was supposed that the course
OF the great ledge was nearly due north,
or parallel to the drift. The develop
ments in the Consolidated Virginia and
California mines proved that this was a
mistake; that the ledge turned off in q
northeast course, and the Union Con.
| solidated people found that after pene-
trating northward to their own ground,
| it would be necessary to run due east
| great distance before they could hope to
reach the ledge. The most feasible,
| speedy and sensible means of developing
the mine-by sinking deep and
capacious shaft away to the eastward
was then resolved upon.
