Tb;s table shows that Neyada's product OF the
pr,cions M tails last year greater than that OF
MI the Territories combined and that 1t lacked some
thing over $3,ooO,000 of cQnaling the combined
hnllion product of the entire number OF States ana
Tarri,oriss west of the Missouri River. If the yield
of the Neya.la mines during the first half OF the
,rssent wear il any indication of this years prc!uc-
son thor, will DO more than 60000,0O0 as against
Aha 25 a.2 2,3 of 1874. The shipments OF ore IRON
the Consolidated Virginia nine for the ilfst SIN
montbs of the year have boon over SS,5OO,OoO as
AGAINST les, than 80 100000 of the entire year OF
1874 The present yield OF the mime Is cifcum-
seribed not by the amount OF ore that can DC
taken out but by the limited capacity OF the host
ing machinery. The present hosting capacity OF The
Consolidated Virginia mine is about l,oUo tons
daily and the shaft in tho Gould g. Curry mine
which mine connects by drift with the first Famed
l. capabe of hosting about 100 tons in addition
Nine mills Arc now employed in crushing the ore Of
this one nine. An immense new mil Is now Duid-
ING eauable of doing the work of eight, and there Is
slso n new shaft sinking jointly by the California
aud Consolidated Companles about Thousand feel
aast of the present one. THIS Will tap the Bonanza
at two different points. When these improvements
ore finished the two mines can be worked up 10
their capacity. Sir. Flood and Dir. Fair both say
they expect to ship $t.00O,0oo Of bulhon month
when they gel fairly started. While this seems
an extravagant estimate it would not be more
ra,,o,kolle than tie discoveries already. IN
aesd il is held by experts, among them Dr.
I;ndernan. Director General Of the Mint. who went
uto the mine at the same time did, that there are
from ten 10 fifteen millions OF dollars of ore in sight
Dr Roger of the University of Pennsylvania, an
.xne,encel mineralogist said the ore seemed prac-
t;callv inc xh:ustbe and from the manner Ill which
a. Law no thought there was 10 doubt there were

of the San Francisco Mint. is of the same opinion
