Richmond Consolidated.

The following official reports of Su.
perintendent Rickard to the London
Directory are from the latest number
of the Mining Journal at hand:
r. Rickard, April 81: The 900 drift
from shaft and same level from Wine
are still in hard limestone. No work
has been done in the 700 or 600 main
drifts since my last. A drift has been
started from the 500 drift west, from
shaft, in a northerly direction; in the
ore drifted through it is improving In
quality as we DRIFT in it. A drift has
also been started in the opposite direc-
ton, also in ore; il is still in low grade
ore. There is nothing new in any
other part of the mine.
r.. Richard, April q: Very little
work has been done in the mine since
my last. The 900 drift from the shaft
has been holed to the same level from
tue winZe. The men have been put to
drive on the ore from the winze. The
800 drift, west from the shaft, is still in
limestone; a cross cut from this drift,
Sc II. from shalt, has been driven 80 f..
10 #. of which was in ore, and the end
is now in the limestone. A winze is
now being sunk on the ore, and il
looks very promising. There is moth
ing new in any other portion Of the
mine.

Gone From Our Gaze.

Under this head the Carson Tribune
thus alludes to our friend Wescoatt,
now sojourning on the Base Range,
and who, by the way, thinks of max
ing his permanent home here:
Ex-senator Wescoatt, of Lincoln
county, left on last evenings train.
Before leaving, however, he managed
t o show his mean disposition in a way
unsurpassed by the average Remote.
We we're aware of the fact that he is a
Democrat; that he has been a member
of the State Senate; that the old fellow
is trying to marry n of Carson's
young ladies; that he came here last
winter with a little valise and went
away with two big trunks. We knew
all these, but we never thought of his
getting volumes one and two of the
Nevada Census Reports and leaving
them in the house of a mar that had
never treated him other than with
kindness,
