A great deal of interest is felt in the
mining machine At present at work on
the river, and vast results are predicted
from its use. The parties have incor-
porated a company in San Francisco,
and sold two hfths OF the right for
California for something like a quarter
of a million. The company IS now
constructing a machine OF extraordi-
nary power at Long Bar. a few niles
above town, which. when completed
in June, will be fioated down on their
claim just above the ground OF the
Main Feather River Mining Company,
and set in operation. The Main Feather
Com pany are also about to have one Of
the machines constructed for their
claim. which old miners consider EN-.
braces the best ground on the river.
When the two new machines are at
work If parties here, who cughtfo know,
are TO be believed. a production of
gold will result which will astonish
the gamblers in Comstock shares.
