VIRGINIA CITY, New, Nov. 13.-
During Sunday and Monday 26e
miners were discharged from the
Consolidated Virginia mine, OF
whom 1893 had been employed on
the I,75O-foot level, and So in the
4 1850. foot level. There are but
three men left on each shift in each
\ level, their only business being to
keep the donkey engines running
to maintain communication be-
tween the different levels without
recource to the main shaft.
j. w. Mackey was asked by q re-
porter If there was any prospect
that the discharged men would
soon be re- employed. Mr.. Mackey
said: "Somc of them will be
war ted again soon, but the MAORI
ty will not. The fact IL, we have
for q long time had more men than
we've needed.n
Reporter-Is the vein pinching
out2
Mackey-No, but the ore in the
lower levels has become so poor
that 1t does not pay to work tex
cept in a few piaces. The heat Ia SO
great and the rock 50 hard that six
b sien cannot take out as many car
loads In given time as one man
used to do.
Reporter-But there Is consid-
erable good ore yet on the upper
levels, is there not?
Mackey-Yes, on the 1900 and
1900 levels there is yet considera-
BILE ore, but the ground is constant.
ly shifting and settling there, aud
the cost of extraction Is couse-
quently SO great as to leave but a
small margin for profit.

F., FAN FRANCISCO, Nov. I'll The
s news of the diacharge OF the min
ers from the Bonanza mines had a
marked fleet on the market this
morning. There were large sales
of both stocks at q rate nearly
twenty per cent. below yesterdays
|. prices. IT was apparent that stock
was being thrown on the market
lrom other sources than the gener.
al run OF outside holders, but pur-
i chasers we're plenty at reduced
y rates and sales lively on the streets.
There was con siderable disposition
shown to regard the discharge OF
the miners and the utterances OF
Mr.. Mackey as part of q bear
movement, growing out of the
contest between the Flood and
4 -Bkae factions. Others attributed
| lie reduction OF the working force
NJ 10 political causes, holding that the
II men were put on before the elec-
4 ton, and discharged when their
4 SERVICES were no longer required.
ii At the Office of the Bonanza firm
surprise was expressed at reading
the Virginia dispatch published in
~ he papers of the California Asso-
3ciated Press this morning, both as
-egards the wholesale discharge OF
kfSaen and the statements of Mr..
Siackey. 1t was intimated that
. Soossibly the Virginia correspon.
lent might have reported Mr..
'.ackey's language so as to convey
z IA rather more gloomy idea of tie
than he intended, but II
n vas admitted that Mackey knew
Y best, and IL he said so and
so, it must be SO. II
was also suggested that
while the report as given might be
perfectly correct an analysis ol
Mackeyis statements would by no
means convey the idea that the
mine had petered out, but simply
that, on the levels mentioned, il
Es,had ceased to be profitable, while
4 lin other portions Of the mine valu.
able ore still remained, with pros.
pect for further developments.
