Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1876-04-13

During the last week satisfactory
| progress has been made. Raise No.
l has not changed any in appearance
and yields the usual amount of ore
of milling quality. Raise No. 2
differs but little since our last report,
the vein remaining about the same.
The drift started some 200 feet south
of the last named raise is in little
over 30 feet, following the ledge
south, and being in vein matter Of a
very encouraging character. Alto
gether the appearance of the mine is
quite promising.
NORTH CARSON.
Have already nearly 600 tons of
ore in the dumps, which looks and
assays first-class. The machinery is
being placed in position, which being
done, work will be pushed ahead in
every part of the mine and new
compartment cut out in the shaft. A
large quantity of ore can be stopped
out as soon as the works start up.
SOUTH END.
This mine is looking better every
day. The depth of the incline is
about 10 feet, and if the vein as there
exposed continues to improve as
depth is gained, we woald not be sur
prised to see them soon shipping
milling ore. The shaft is down AZ
feet thoroughly timbered.
DANEY
The work of pumping still con-
tinues. 1t appears that the whole
surrounding country has to be drain
ed. 1t is thought that by the last of
this week the water will be drained
to the first level. A new pump-bob
will soon be put in.
BROOKS.
The shaft of double compartments
is down about 90 feet, but nothing
particular will be done until the re-
turn of Superintendent Caldwell from
San Francisco.
NIAGARA.
No other work than sinking the
incline is being done, which is max
ing good progress, the rock ranging
about the same.
yyEppEp
The new machinery will soon be
on hand, when work will be COM
menced with renewed vigor.
NORTH DAYTON.
The work goes on about as usual,
the appearances of the incline being
| favorable.
EDINBURG VULCAN.
No work is at present being done
at either of these mines.
SOUTH coMsToCK.
Everything about this mine is look
lag and working we'll.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
Hank Blanchard has just finished
burning kiln of forty tons of lime
at his limestone ledge on El Dorado
canyon. Attempts have heretofore
been made to manufacture lime in
localit es in the neighborhood of the
Comstock, but always with but in
different success, and of late years
most of the lime used here has been
brought from California. 1t would
now seem, if the testimony OF the
experts is to be trusted that what
has long been sought for has at last
been found.
The Rye Patch Company shipped
by Wells, Fargo d Co. yesterday
two bars of bullion of the assayed
value of S3,20s.42. The bullion was
sent here to 90 melted and assaye d
at the Reduction Works. The Hum.
boldt Mill and Mining Company also
shipped yesterday one bar of bul.
lion of the assayed value of 81,
566.62.
The Luna mine, which is situated
near Unionville, was purchased yes
terday at Sheriffs sale by James A.
Hill for $2,252. The mine has
yielded considerable ore of high
grade, and is considered worth much
more than the price at which it sold.
1.-THE Silver State.
On Monday there were assayed at
the Consolidated Virginia assay
office 6,467 pounds, and Tuesday
4,4l4 pounds. The FORMER batch
assayed about S205,000.
John Landers, President of the
Andes and Cosmopolitan mines, has
been in town for two or three days
| taking look at his mines and
| others on the Comstock range. He
leaves to-day for San Francisco well
pleased with all he has seen.

ceived private dispatch from Car

priation agreed upon in committee.
