b Future.

Under the present able and efficient
management. the Lady Bryan mine
has. during the past year. been making
better advancement than ever before,
aud we are pleased to know and to state
that at the present time the prospects to
the stockholders - well ~ to all con.
cerned in the development OF the min.
eral u OF the country. arc FL.
eesdingly fiattsring. aud far ahoad Of
vhat they have been for some time
past.
Within q few days past tho north drift,
on the 3S0-foot level, has penetrated =
fms body Of ore. average assays OF
which run from $500 to $3.50 per ton.
The extent OF this body OF ore Is not yet
asesrtained. but being in q portion Of
the mine never before prospected. the
chances arc certainly Of more than a
hopeful character. that another bonanza
OF rich ore ore has been discovered.
The 500-foot station has just been
opened, aud q drift started at that point
TO cut and prospect the ore vein. and
the bottom Of the shaft which 10 in the
ledge below tho 500-foot level. is just
sntsring ore OF . similar description.
The south winze below the 250.foot
level 10 connect with the south drift ON
the 3s0-foot level has been In good ore
for some time past, and II Is n we'll
known fact that large amounts Of mill.
ing ore have been uncovered during the
past year In different portions Of the
mine. although homo no rich as this
late discovery has before been found.
The main south drift on the 3S0-foot
level Is following the ore vein and is
running thirty degrees west Of south.
aud the opinion that the ledge is gradu.
ally changing to a more westerly course,
following up SiI.mils Canyon, il gain
ing ground in the minds Of many.
Some hold to the belief that tho heavy
swing OF the Comstock to the eastward
in the ophir will yet carry II in the di-
rection Of tho Lady Bryan. The
fact Of no ledge corresponding
with that OF the Lady Bryan having
ever yet been paid on tho south side OF
Six.mile Canyon. gives some weight to
these opinions. II the new discovery
proves anything near what is expected
Of II, We certainly will soon have the
pleasure Of reporting to'the world an
other rich and extensive ore.body.

THE vIRaINIA rosrorrIcE.

Wa had tho pleasure OF examining
the Virginia Post-ofies in its new quar-
tiers in Bearisley's building ON South G
street, aud after a most critical inspee-
ton cannot but agree with the report OF
U. $. Inspector zimmerman, made a few
days since. that it is n OF the best ar
ranged and finest in its appointments on
Pacific Coast. The Office 10 divided into
ssparsts departments. the money order.
gents department, ladies' department
and mailing department. having each .
separate clerk TO attend TO the duties OF
his station; so that there is no confu-
,ion or getting mixed up in any way
whatever. In addition to the precau-
lions thus provided. q large distributing
,,bls occupies one side OF the Office,
while In another portion is a large stand
upon which are spread outin convenient
order to get at. the ~newspapsrs u peri
odicals OF the day. To further add TO
the convenience Of its patrons. Post
master Addison has erected GOI
pat.nt metallic boxes. all OF which are
80, n ON top OF the other. with the
numbers 40 arranged that 1t would re-
ouire almost malicious wiliulness on the
part of a clerk to cause a mistake. There
are lO6 boxes Of small size, POI OF n
large size, and a number OF large boxes
sxiO inches in size. for the aceommoda.
ton Of news dealers. These boxes are
placed on a fine black walnut counter,
each DO, being supplied with duplicate
KEYS. no two keys unlocking the same
boz. A duplicate key is always retained
i'm the Office 10 that in case the other is
lost, another duplicate can DO made.
Adjoining. and separate from the
main Office, the Postmaster has pro-
yidsd himself a neat and convenient lit
tie side Office. where he eau converse
with visitors when necessary. as the
United States postal regulations do
not permit Of any but sworn principals
and employees In its Offices. The CLICKS
nj the time Of our visit were all busy at
their several posts. and so far as can
be seen. nothing is left undone that can
aid TO the convenience or accommodation
OF its patrons.
