PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES
Alleged Discovery OF y New BO-
nanza East of the COmstOck.
san FRANCISCO, March /

~ IhANSiStCs -
The Post, in a stock article this
ing, gives an O of an alleged dis
covery of a new bonanza living east OF
the Comstock lode and parallel .ith it.
and abreast of the Consolidated Vir-
ginia, Best and Belcher, Gould aud
Curry and Hale and Norcross. The
article states the formation was dis
covered by running a diamond drill
eastward from the workings OF the
aforementioned mines. 1t IL held
that from this fissure has come the im-
mense Volume of water which has so
| long delayed the lower levels of the
Savage aud Hale and Norcross. To
test the question:, samples 81 water
from these mines were evaporated and
the sediment found. on analysis, TO
correspond with the composition oi the
ore taken from the drill holes. The
matter has been kept secret by the
managers, and prosecuting in the
direction Of the new bonanza has been
carried on with caution, as the aim was
10 drain the water from the ledge be
fore tapping it, fearing that a rush of
water might follow that would stop
work in the mines. 1t is estimated
mat in a few weeks it will be safe 10
begin prosecuting to develop the
ledge. The statement seems to be re-
ceived in the street with due caution,
owing probably in part to a lack OF
confidence lately shown by outside op-
orators and 10 the fact that the Post has
for some time been bu,lish in tone OF.
its stock articles.
