INTERPRETATIONS
Original Comstock-The Original
Comstock Gold and Silver Mining
Company have incorporated at San
Francisco, with IA capital of $40, 1000,
900, divided INTO l00,0 600 shares. The
object of the corporation is TO mill
and mine in Storey County, Nevada.
Tucker-1'he Tucker ompany has
filed articles Of Incorporation in the
County Recorders Office. Capital
stock, 100000 600, in 100000 shares.
TAILINGs.-Thc catching of tail
ings, or more properly speaking the
concentration Of sulphurets, has of
late years been an important feature
in the industry of this country. In
Six-mlle and Gold Hill canyons
miles of tables extend, which each
year pay TO their owners handsome
dividends Their profit is gagged by
the number of mills running and the
amount Of ore they crush. In fact,
this business paid so well that the
large mill owners huve in almost ey-
cry case either secured the tables
! themselves or built large reservoirs
or tanks to catch the tailings. An
other reason aseribed to the present
low grade as compared with former
years is that a much larger percent
age of chloride of silver exists in
the COmstock ore, instead of sui
phuret of silver. The angle or grade
If the tables is Just sufficient TO per-
nit the water to run at moderate
rate of spced-about one-fourth Of
an inch to every foot. They are d.
vided into several compartments va
rying from twenty to twenty-faur
inches in width, but the majority
10 not exceed twenty inches
These are covered with blankets OF
| corresponding width and from two
and a-haif to three feet long. A
short blanket is preferred, as where
one section laps over the other q rip
pie is formed which naturally retains
larger amount OF snlphurcts than
| it otherwise would. The length Of
time which the water runs over the
blankets, containing the mineral
sought, before being washed, IS ac-
cordlng to whether it flows direct
from a mill or the creek. III the
former case, it is done Immediately
after the flow has ceased on charg-
ing the pans, but before being taken
UP "A stream of fresh water is turned
on to wash off the heavy sand. In
case the tables are some distance
from the mill and the flow IS from
the creek, they are not washed more
than twice d4y. The blankets are
washed in large tank, from which
the sulphurcts are shoveled into a
pile, having salt, or solution Of sal
nmmouiac, which o%idizes them, al
ter which they are worked in the
mills.

clipped from the Port Tobacco Times: There

Barry Sye aol Harrison Sma!lwood, colored,
are democrats and members of the Harris Lot
