Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1876-04-27
COSMOPOLITAN,

Is saved Ior mining, An average as
say of the same shows: Silver
| $l2 Sc; gold. $35 16; total, SAT 70
The tunnel is being driven ahead
also in ore, some of which is being
! saved. 1t is calculated that it will
require 125 feet further before the
raise reaches the surface.
We visited this mine yesterday
and saw some developm ents on the
800 foot level that surprised us, for
that depth. The south drift is in 4j
feet, showing ore of a fine character,
which assays larger percentage OF
silver than gold. The dip of the
ledge is easterly. While there is
quite flow Of water, it in no way
interferes with the work.
! NEW ETNA.
This claim is in the Sullivan Dis
trict, about seven miles south of Day.
ton, in this county. 1t is really an
old location from which considerable
good ore has been taken, and is now
being again started up by J. S. Hard
wick. The main tunnel is in some
800 feet, and from appearances will
justify the great faith placed in it by
its owners.
SILVER HILL.
Tue incline is 161 feet below the
4t4-foot level. At 16S feet another
station will be opened, and drift
started to prospect the ledge. The
cross-cuts 10 the winze north, near
the Justice line are locking we'll. A
strong flow of water still continues
from the bottom of the incline. The
machinery works we'll.
NORTH con. VIRGINIA.
The main shaft is down about 500
feet, encountering some leaders OF
spars from the main ledge which
look very favorable. The water in
no way interferes with their prog
ress. The road leading to the mine
is being widened ready for use.
SOUTH END.
Work in the incline on the ledge
has been stopped, as it will be struck
in tue Shaft at about 200 feet The
shaft was yesterday, when visited, at
a depth of So feet, the bottom being
in vein matter and porphyry. Grad
ing for machinery will be finished
this week.
Work in the three-compartment
shaft is progressing finely, the depth
being SO feet. The rock blasts well.
Four sets of heavy timbers have been
placed in during the last three days
Everything being done will be OF the
most substantial character.
zuLuZoN.
An assay was taken from the crop
pings of this location last week, which
showed the following favorable re-
suit: Silver, $lS IS; gold, So IS;
total, $22 SO, which we consider very
| good.
HARTFORD.
Rapid progress is being made iii
clearing out the southeast drift. 1t
| is badly caved and considerable TIM
boring is necessary to hold the
ground. The main tuanel has been
! cleared out.
| WILLIAM PENN.
Work by the contractors in the
| tunnel is progressing satisfactorily.
! Superintendent Hutthings had sur
vey made of the mine yesterday.

This mine is at present under the
supervision of Mr.. Cooke, an efficient

| last of this week, when work in the
same will be commenced.

Work throughout this mine is pro-
crossing very rapidly. Cross-cut No
4 is in IS feet, showing formation OF
an encouraging character.
BUCKEYE.
Nothing important to record, but
from the appearance of the diff
ferent levels something good may be
expected soon.

On our first page will be found the
latest intelligence from this mine

admit of.

and old works is going ahead rap
idly.
