During the day large number OF
nrominent business men OF Carson,
superintendents, mining experts
and reporters from all the journals
who pay attention to mining mat
ters. besides quite party of New
York and San Francisco capitalists,
visited the works, examined the
ledge &C., and were. without excrp-

they saw. Among the nun ser we

The depth Of the shaft to
where it is intersected by the tunnel
is one hundred feet. AT this depth
tits met by a tunnel starting in on
the west face or slope of the hill,
running northerly to cut the ledge.
The length of this adit drift Is AS
feet, 120 feet of which is in good
vein matter, At this point Il wind
tsss Nss sysc.ea aHd the main shaft
continued down, which at present is
,hn ,,n ts2et, making lis total depth $50
feet. The waste dirt is conveyed
through this tunnel to the exterior.
In running this level, (Which is
called the first,) the west wall OF the
ledge was followed as near as posi-
ble, which dips to the east. This is
a good indication, when we take the
richest of our Comstock mines for
criterion. The assays average $32
per ton, that next to the east wall
being slight percentage ahead OF
fhe rest in metal, averaging S136.
While there is but one main ledge,
this easterly streak appears we'll
defined, being about three feet wide.
while the average width of the ledge
is ten feet eight inches, the entire
body assaying about as high as the
ordinary milling ore of the Crown
Point and Belcher mines. Going
down the shaft from this point $50
feet, we stop at the 250-foot level,
where a cross-cut has been started,
being in eleven feet, the whole dis
lance in white quartz, whose average
assay is $l25 per ton. Here the vein,
which on the level above is only
three feet wide, is four feet, and
widening as they sink. This de
