THE STRIKE IN IIUssEY.

a rich strike in the IIussey mine, at
Cornucopia, was reported here several
days ago, but We have maintained strict
silence upon the subject until We could
speak advisedly and with authority.
Such information relating to the matter
has just reached u6, direct from Cornu.
copia, rs dissipates nil doubts repcc,ing
the value and importance Of the discov-
cry made III the bottom of the Comma
uy's shaft, Mt n depth of 800 feet from
the surface. This strike is not only
important as Il source Of add
ing largely to the value Of the mine.
but also AS demonstrating the actual
position IL dip Of the lead. Specula-
ton now gives plnce to assurance, and
instead Of cropping blindly in the dark,
tho work OF development will be pur-
sued intelliGently and vigorously, back
ed by tho very gratifying consciousness
that future labors will produce their own
reward.
