BIG WORK AND BIG PROS.
PEGTS FOR THE GAS
Cow MINE.

Tie commendable energy that has
for the past summer been, and is
now being displayed in the Develop
ment of our Lyon County mines,
and the place they have attained in
the Stock Board, renders every item
of news in regard to them OF much
interest to our people and to the
stock specializing public generally.
Early in the summer, reporter of
the TINES made thorough examin-
alton of the Amazon and Glasgow,
the stock of which had Just then
been placed on sale. The indica-
tons for good mines on this vein,
were as plain as prospector or ex-
pert could wish, and personal ex-
animation of the vein led to the pre-.
diction that it would, on develop
ment, prove to be true fissure vein
and large find of quartz was al
most morally certain. There was
much criticism on our first report,
and those who did not boot at
the idea of "bonanza" on this
end of the Comstock, deemed the
report too highly coIored and reck-
less. The months and developments
have steadily gone on, and with every
foot toward the bottom, the pre-
diction of the TIMEs has been veri-
fed, until now we see an immense
vein of firm ore uncovered and the
stock of the Company being sold for
five or six times as much per share
as the working capital was disposed
OF. We do not make these state
ments boastingly, but in a spirit of
pleasure that the mines are turning
out even better than had been hoped
We have, heretofore, made our
reports more especially on the
ground of the Amazon Company,
and now from a recent inspection,
have the following to report on
THE GLASGOW.
The Joint shaft being sunk by the
Glasgow and Amazon is now down
275 feet. A drift from the l00-foot
level into the Glasgow ground shows
large and strong vein, incased
between excellent walls, of width
in vein matter of SIS feet. The ore
from this level assays as high as $25,
in which gold predominates. The
next level is at a depth of $50 feet,
from which DRIFT, up to this time,
has been run in on the vein about
90 feet, showing a wonderful i'm
provemenl in ore and assays from
the level above. The highest assay
vet obtained is $3.50, 5000 of which is
gold. / he Company are now crowd
ing the shaft, with three shifts, for
another level. This will give them
three levels Ia work their ores from,
and, if we are right in our prediction,
much improved, solid body OF pay
ore. AllOptlueT lilc oIdSSoW Is Ncli
developed, has bold groupings, and
is opened by drifts and shafts for
over 1000 feet in PAGES, showing a
vein averaging 70 feet III width be-
tween walls near the surface. In
the old tunnel, which runs in on the
hanging wall side of the vein 250
feet, 100 feet is in firm white ore
when gives good assays, but is still
some broken. This is q large bonan-
"a of itself, and at greater depth
will doubtless afford All abundance
of ore. We understand that the
/ Company are now nearly ready to
cut This big body of ore al depth OF
AIS feet below the groupings aud
when it is struck we shall expect to
have the best of things to report
/ With an intimate personal acquaint'
ance with the development and as
saws of the Glasgow, we cain ou'
think that the future prospects OF lis
becoming a dividend paying mine
are indeed ilattering.
