OF the Oldest claims on the z omstock
range. in fact the Oldest. where the
Groosh Brothers first located and smelt'
cd the ore in . furnace. the remains oi
which. we're visible in the ravine just
above the Trench mill. till the great
food Of n few years ago washed It oil
This claim has been held most
stabbornly and psrsistently by the old
owners. waiting to realize funds sufi-
cisnt to develop the mine without sub
hitting to the eIorbitant terms sftsn
proposed. Tho arrangements are now
made to commence operations under the
supervision Of that successful old miner.
Capt. Samuel Curtis. who has been 20
efficient in developing the great bonan-
IA. and il now the Superintendent OF
the Ophir mine. Old miners with whom
we have eonversed are confident OF the
existence OF q great bonanza on this
mine, which was cut across in running
a DRIFT from mn old shaft at the Bacon
mill 10 the shaft Of the company. to
secure water Tor the mill. This drift
was too near the surface to develop the
ore in large bodies. but the heavy clay
wall was cut and true Comstoek vein
matter developed. Thirty-eight assays
were made by DR.. Walter Bunchsr, who
had charge OF the Bacon mill) from the
isolated punches Of quartz, which run
from S72 81 per ton up to s9,3i2 %
per ton. The doctor expresses the opin.
lon that such apsrfectly defined body OF
Comstock vein matter no near the sur
face never was seen on the Comstock.
and he believes q magnificent mine can
be opened by n deep shaft. and u cross
cut across the lode. We shall expect to
see exceedingly rich Developments made
at this mine. II any OF our washoe
boys wish to secure an interest in this
mine out Of the stock now offered, to q
limited amount, at 81 30 per share for
the working capital, they can do 10 by
sending their checks TO James A. Pritch-
