GOING FER THE HEART OF THE
COMSrOCK BONANZA.

COMSrOCK BONANZA.
A dispatch from San Francisco pub
lished in yesterdays SENTINEL gave
some particulars regarding the pro-
ceedings in a case before the United
States Circuit Court, wherein Kinney
is the plaintiff and the Virginia Con-
solidated and the California Mining
Companies are defendants. The Kin
ney alluded to is Geo. w. Kinney, who
for several years resided in Eureka,
during a greater part of which time he
OBLIGATED as the Mining Recorder of
the district. He sues to Cow forty
feet of ground lying between the Vir-
ginia Consolidated and the California,
the same covering and embracing tho
very heart OF the great Coinstock boz
nanZa. 1t appears that he has n fair
showing of title, dating away back %
the early days of the Comstock, and
his lawyers, who have a contingent in
terest in the suit, are quite sanguine OF
success. If George should happen to
get away with that baggage he would
speedily take rank as one of the
hloated millionaires of the country;
and if he is Justly entitled To it the
worst luck We wish him is that he may
succeed.

MADE THE CoNNECrIoN.-The drift
which was being run for the winze be-
tween the seventh and eighth levels of
the Eureka Consolidated mine made
the connection day before yesterday,
developing a larger and finer Gre BODY
than has ever before been shown in
the mine. The connection with the
winze has afforded ingress to the
works in the real Of the cave, and an
examination has proven that the ex-
tent of the accident is not near as great
as was at first supposed.
