NORTH CARSON.


From an inspection Of this valua-
Bile mine, situated in Eagle Valley
District about three miles north Of
Carson City, we are ahle 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 very fine, especially on the east
wall. where it shows the rich
est quartz. A drift will be immedi-
stely commenced north from the
25O-foot level. At this depth the
vein is larger and shows a marked
improvement from the upper levels,
some of the assays running very high,
while the whole appearance is of an
encouraging and flattering character.
On the 10O-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. l..
Ayres. These gentlemen deserve
great credit for their efforts in un-
earthing the minera, deposits If Eagle
Valley District.
SOUTH END MINE.
This is a new company, having
been but recently incorporated
in San Francisco to operate in
Devils Gate District, Lyon County.
with $40 600, 600 capital stock. The
following are the directors. among
whom some well-known and sue
cessful Comstock men will be found:
Edward F. Stone, w. T. Lyle, John
Skae, r. N. Graves and J. NJ. Wal
, tkeE The location is situated south
and west OF the Atlantic, about one
and q quarter miles from town in
q direction little south Of west.
Tho groupings are quite prominent
varying in work from so to 100 feet.
Contrary to those Of most quartz
veins of the mineral belt, they pre-
dominate in silver instead of gold, as
the following average assay, taken
from them Sunday. will show: Silver,
geo 81; gold, $2 81; total, $32 "a
Although some of the richest mines
of the Comstock showed preponde-
rance of gold at the surface, we can
not but look upon this rs favorable
and encouraging future for the mine.
Colonel w. T. Robinson, an ex-
perienced miner in eastern Ne
vads and this country, is the Superin-
tendent, and from our knowledge of
the man we feel confident he is the
right man in the right place, and
will leave nothing undone to open
the mine and reveal its true merit.
Their shaft, which was commenced
ION Sunday last, will be single COM
.partment, they calculating at depth
of about 800 feet to drift north and
connect with tunnel, through
which they will develop their mine
until it becomes necessary to erect
heavy machinery. This is good
plan, and it can be done much more
economically than placing temporary
machinery, to be in a short time at
additional expense removed for
heavier. We will regularly report
this mine.
