THE KIT CARSON MINE.
Disposal of the Property to a Phil
adelphia Company.

We learn from a reliable source that
the Kit Carson location has been dis
posed of to a Philadelphia company,
Mr.. q. Collier Robbins negotiating the
sale. The gentleman has been pecu-
larry fortunate in all of the trans
actions in which he has handled mines
and mining property in this district
With large experience, and an intimate
acquaintance with the u of
Eureka, and having been identified
with the Base Range since its discovery,
there is no n more competent to
judge of the value, or distinguish be-
tween the good and the poor, aud his
success is due to the fact that he has
never attempted to foist upon the East
ern capitalists worthless locations. a
case in point is The Metamoras mine, a
property that has in n seasons work
pad back to the investors not only the
original purchase money, but also en-
abled them, out of the profits, to build
a substantial furnace and put up elabo-
rate hosting works at the mine, and
the present developments show that
the company are in possession of one
of the best claims in the district. The
Kit Carson is situated contiguous to
and adjoining the Metamoras. 1t has
been worked in a desultory sort of way
for years, n a large amOun of good
ore has been taken out, but the eXplo-
ratlonS have never been carried on
with any system, and as a consequence.
although the product has paid the own
ers a handsome profit, the permanence
of the mine was never looked after.
A depth of 225 feet has been reached,
and a continuous vein of ore traced
from the groupings down to that point,
and just before Mr.. Robbins departure
for the East, a body was uncovered
that yielded at the rate of 800 per ton.
We learn that the new owners have
sen out instructions TO have the main
shaft Strengthened and timbered sub
stantially to a depth of 10 feet, and a
contract for the work vii! be let in a
few days. Steam hosting works, of
sufficient capacity to sink the shaft and
develop the mine to any required depth,
will be purchased in one of the East
ern cities, and Immediately forwarded
to Eureka, and it is probable that the
enterprise will be fully under way in
the next sixty days. We have not as
yet been furnished with a list of the
investors, but we consider them ex-
tremely fortunate in acquiring the
property. All miners, aud those &C
quainted with the mineral belt that in.
cludes the Metamoras, General Wash
ington, Kit Carson, Bannera and Emmett,
are confident of the existence OF a true
assure lode in that vicinity, a belief
warranted by the existence of all the
conditions necessary to prove the
theory, and by the explorations in the
Metamoras and Kit Carson mines.
With a few more large companies in
terested in the development of the
riches of old Prospect, that mountain
of mineral wealth will soon take its
place in the front rank as a producer OF
the precious metals.

Batemau-street RivuIet.

The drain provided to carry off the
surplus waters that course down
Pioneer gulch was not in working
order Sunday night, and in conse-
quence a torrent rushed down Bate
man street to the ditch. The night
was very dark, and the pedestrians
and church-goers on the way home
from their devotions, in crossing the
raging stream, found themselves knee
deep in the muddy current. From the
vivacity and pointedness OF the Ian
guage that was INDUCED in by them
we infer That the lessons that they had
listened to had not made a very lasting
impression. We may be mistaken,
however, as those who overheard the
remarks are positive that sacred names
were used freely and with emphasis.
If their damning of the stream had
been etfectual the town would have
been drowned out with the backwater
before the night was over.

Following is the official letter of the
Superintendent to the Secretary in San
Francisco:
w. w. TRAYLoR: The ore bodies on
the 7th, Sth, 9th, 10th and 18th levels
continue TO look well. The ore eX-
tracted during the past week shows a
decided improvement in the assay
value.
The 9TH level drift has been adj
vanced 81 feet in hard rock. The 9TH
level, west drift, has advanced IL feet
in favorable looking ground for ore.
In the east drift on this level we have
raised Fl feet in low grade ore, and
have started a new upraise near inter-
section with crosscut.
The winze from the east drift on the
Sth level has been sunk 10 feet in fair
ore, and a drift started from the bot
tom in good ore.
The incline from the 9th level has
been sunk 10 feet. The ground is dry
and favorable for sinking.
We will complete the station at the
18th level next week.
The west drift, from crosscut No. 2
on the 9th level, has beer run Is feet
in very favorable ground for ore. The
east drift on this level has been run l9
feet in broken and stained rock. The
west drift from crosscut No l has been
run Is feet through broken limestone.
Only three furnaces have been in OPP
Grafton, and have produced the usual
amount of bullion to each furnace.
Started up No. 2 furnace yesterday.
The Gerrish copper furnace lasted only
four days. l am rebuilding it with
sandstone, and will have it running
again next week.

Building Material.

1t looks as if we were going to have
a full supply of building material for
use this summer. Three brick yards
are i'll full blast, and parties are con
templating starting another. Henry
Allen IL Co. have a kiln of 125, 900
nearly completed, and will commence
burning next Monday. They have a
good location alongside of the Ruby
Hill railroad, having found an excel
lent clay bank at that point. 1t looks
as il there would be a large demand
for brick this season, and many inn
provements to Main street property are
contemplated that will absorb all of the
product.

that a rich strike has been made about
eight miles from that point, and that
the citizens of that vicinity were very
much excited over the discovery.
Specimens of silver. bearing ore, con-
tanning the precious metal in such
quantities that it could be whitfield
with a knife, were freely shown, and
all who know anything ofthe vein pro
nounce it one of the biggest things
yer found. We hope it will develop a
bonanza in that section.
