THE OUTLOOK NORTH.

buIihS our recent tr1p through the
northern part OF The county tho ptomi.
ncnt mining camps of Tuscarpra, Cor.
nucopia aud Bull Run wefo Visited.
The very material improvement in the
appearance of the principal mines in
each Of these localities, aud tho conse.
qnent buoyancy of spirit manifested by
tho residents thereof, is in strong con-
trass with tho, dull depression which
paralyscd every branch of business ut
the time OF our visit several months
ago. At Tuscarota, strong forco of
men are employed upon. the Young
America mine, and rs The company
makes its regular payments ii coin, nil
the avenues of trade receive their pro
portion OF its benefits. Tho min, Is
developing very satisfactory; tho lead
maintaining its size as depth is attain
cd, and the orc being extracted, of cx-
cellent quality. A heuvy body of water
has to DO commended with, but with the
substantial hosting machine now in
use, no difficulty is experienced in keep
ing everything clear. Should the par
ties who made the recent heavy mining
purchases in this district, conclude to
prosecute the work of developing their
mines, and proceed to erect mill this
season, Tuscarorn will be the liyelicst
camp in Eastern Nevada. In
a-s CoRSucoP1A
Business has settled down aud Is NOV
ing along in exclusively legitimate
channels, and the merchants and bust
ness men generally arc establishing
themselves upon q fermcr basis than
that afforded by the ephcineral excite
ment Of new "strike". and aro now
relying upon the intrinsic merit of the
mines, which can nlone sustain thom,
aud judging from present appearances,
their faith is we'll founded, for Tie 70.
nowned Leopard is steadily pouring
forth Its rich ores as abundantly ms at
any time i'll its previous history, md
the thunder of tho stamps as they
steadily batter out the beautiful bars,
il quite rs musical 10 believers car as
Was their wont in the palmiest days OF
the first excitement. Tho Hussey
mine, adjoining tho Leopard on the
north, is also prospecting finely. In
the drift from tho 500 foot level, its
appearance is extremely fattering; veins
OF mineral bearing quartz varying from
two to SIX inches in width being en-
cOuntered in quick succession rs. work
progresses, and all The Indications are
that the main lead is not far distant.
The hosting machinery upon both
these mines performs its Office admirab-
~ and has the capacity to raise from
the shafts to n depth of 81, 90 feet.
Work upon the Panther mine is
steadily progressing. a second level
below the tunnel being run upon the
ledge, which continues TO open out good
ore.
The shaft upon the Republican is
now down some $50 feet upon the lead
and the ore upon tho dump which we
examined, is Of splendid quality.
The South Leopard shaft has reached
depth Of l25 feet, and the water is
retHrding progress materially. The
Scompany will soon be obliged to erect
something more effective than wind
lass 10 cnnblo it to continue .explora:
tons. Tho blue porphyry has been
reuchcd, but the shaft is evidently not
far enough down yet to find the lead.
Tho shaft upon the Alameda is fay-
orably located, md Some good looking
quartz Inns already been struck.
The Fisher mine on Silver Hill ia
now being opened, and for tho amount
Of work done, looks remarkable we'll.
a large body Of splendid orc has been
struck upon the surface aud TO MI mp
penrances, they have uncovered n
large md valuable lead. Uuless their
present very fatIering prospects are
confined exclusively TO tho surface.
which is by no means probable, this is
tho most important "Rnd" IN the
district since Its first discovery.
