MINING ITEMS.
NORTH CARSON.

From an inspection of this valua-
BILE mine, situated in Eagle Valley
District about three miles north of
Carson City, we are able to lay be-
fore our readers, particularly those
interested in the development of
mines, the exact condition of this
mine as it appeared on Friday. The
drift south on the 200-foot level is
running parallel with the vein, which
looks yer fine, especially on the east
wall, where it shows the rich
est quartz. A drift will he immedi-
ately commenced north from the
250-foot level. At this depth the
vein is larger and shows marked
improvement from the upper levels,
some of the assays running very high,
while the whole appearance is of an
encouraging and tlattering character.
On the 100-foot level the work is still
progressing in the north drift. The
present favorable appearance of this
mine since its opening is principally
due to the energy and mining knowl-
edge of the efficient Superintendent,
Mr.. A. s. Gould, seconded by the
enterprising President, Mr.. J. |.
Ayres. These gentlemen deserve
great credit for their efforts in I'M
esrthing the mineral deposits of Eagle
Valley District.
A dividend of fifty cents per share
is TO be declared ON Alpha stock.
Steps are being taken to incorpo-
rate the Silver Age location, just be-
low the Santiago mine. The shaft
is now down 1870 feet.
The principal parties interested in
the Quinn mine, which Is near the
Daney, are now in San Francisco
making arrangements for putting the
mine in working condition. Colonel
Osbiston is Superintendent.
The total shipments of bullion of
the Consolidated Virginia up to
March 9th amount to $312, 623.96.
The bullion ON hand in the office
Thursday amounted to $4,000, to
which 100000 was added yesterday.
No late shipments have been made,
owing to the blockade.
The grapple in the Belcher mine
while descending the incline broke
an axle. The sateties caught and no
other damage was done.
Chas. Becker and Dr. McMeans

RIDE ON \ LoCoMoTIvE.-Through
the kindness of Assistant Superin-
tendent Bender, of the Y. 4 7. Rail
road, we had ride the other even
ing on the locomotive from Carson
to the Silver City Switch. The train
consisted of % empty ore cars and
five cars loaded with wet. heavy
wood, besides the tender, etc. The
engine was a strong, powerful ma
chine, but the labor imposed upon
it was equal to its power. The fire
man was kept continually firing
from the time he struck the grade,
using in trip about seven cords of
wood, the engine running on 40 TO
las pounds of steam Al times,
owing to the ice on the track, it
would almost come 10 a standstill,
when an employee would leap from
the train, run ahead and throw sand
upon the rails, when they would
back and at il again. 1t really
seemed as if the machine possessed
the Intelligence of an animal, Snort
ing, putting and blowing, it remind
ed one of strong horse, pulling
a heavy load up y steep hill. As e
touch from the whip, or an encour-
aging chuckle, urges the horse to
fresh efforts, SO a touch of the hand
on the throttle valve and the iron
muscles OF the steam horse are again
exerted. There is an excitement in
such a ride, that causes one to re-
member it with pleasure,-a feeling
of security that is experienced in no
other mode of rapid transit, Long

other industries which our small
place boasts Of is the brewery of the
ab name, owned by Mr.. Philip

OF Teutonic celebrity is situated at
the lower portion of the town, on
our main street. The beer is
equal Ii not superior To any made in
this state, aud win compare fayora-
bly, with any imported from Califor-
MIA. The grain il purchased in San
Francisco from choice lots, great
care being taken to select only the
finest quality The water, very
important element in the manufac-
ture of good beer, is obtained from
the V. s. G. III. Water Co.. which is
unequalled in purity. coming from a
small mountain lake. Mr.. Geyer has
in his employ an old country brewer
whose knowledge of the business
and neatness in every particular, is
best judged by the excellent quality
of the beverage produced, Mr..
Geyer's manufacturing facilities are
not very extensive, he finding ready
sale for all he makes in our own
town, delivering it himself with his
horse and wagon. Connected with
the establishment is cosy room
where one can undisturbed quaif the
CREAMY, foamy lager beer.n
