throughout the various levels, ami
there is large quantity Of rich ore

completed and started up about the
Goth of September.

ing we'll in the lower levels of the

ore" have been engaged in crosscut-
ting for the purpose Of getting at the
width of the vein, and find it to be 25
feet in width. At the end Of the

Reno Journal: We had call last
evening from Mr.. Humbert and Jo-
seph Subra. The former gentleman
is one of the Humbert Brothers who
are developing the Nevada Qulcksil-
YER mine, at Steamboat He tells US
that he expected to have the furnace
running by this time, but the recent
smashup on the Central Pacific dam
sged some of the machinery So much
that delay of two or three weeks is
necessitated. They will eRct a "a
ton furnace aud expect to turn out
from 100 to $50 TASKS Of quicksilver
per month when they get fairly to
work. They have already made three
cuts, each one tapping the cinnabar.
The surface dirt covering it is all the
way from six inches t. ten feet deep.
The tunnel is in 60 feet, and the face
is in good looking cinnabar. They
have about twenty men employed at
present. Should these gentlemen
realize their expectations the mine
will be valuable one. The market
for all they can produce is right at
their door. The advantage of a good
quicksilver mine in Nevada needs
no argument to prove
