Issmething New.

There has recently been struck in
the Bullion something new to deep
mining on the Comstock. 1t Is nothing
more alarming. however. than n forma-
ton OF sulphuret Of copper, aud was
found on the 1000 level. The "s,uff"
has dark stains on the outside and where
broken Is a little darker in appearance
than bronze and is very solid aud
heavy. Old Comstockers put this down
as something new, and we believe ut
this depth that 1t is a decided novelty.
Copper stains are found here and there
in this vicinity and very near the sur
face. and blue and green carbonates Of
copper existed in considerable quantities
In the groupings Of the Ophir, Mexican
and Sierra Nevada, but nothing like the
deposit in the Bullion has ever been
shown before. All agree that it indicates
q strong and permanent vein. but
whether II has a further and more
favorable significance where found time
alone nj tell.

who have been out for q week or 30, in
the Sierra Valley region have returned.
They found plenty OF ducks. geese.
snipe, rabbits and all that sort Of thing,
but no deer. They killed more game
than they could eat, and brought q little
home for their friends. They complain
that by some mistake their rolls OF
blankets were put into the baggage car.
and the agent made them pay Sl.6O
freight thereon. in addition TO
their fare. Knowing that they
were entitled to that small amount Of
baggage free. they grumbled at the ex.

Relative to the compromise between

dated mining companies. the full text Oh
which we publish in another column
the San Francisco Gail says
Ever since the discovery OF ore onthe
incline between the 2iOO and ZOO levels
IN the Sierra Nevada mine. about six
months ago, there has been a controversy
,oipc on between the owners Of the
Sierra Nevada and Union Consolidated
mines concerning the right to 29s feet
Of ground where the mines joined. The
fact that the ore discovery was ON the
disputed territory gave to tho contest an
unusual interest. II has been thought
that the dispute would result in the or
ganization OF a third company aud u di-
vision Of the spells. The popular im-
preston has been that the Uuion peo-
pie had the best claim to the
ground. The length Of both claims
is i.l55 feet. The maps give $500 TO
the Sierra Nevada and s2j to the Union
Consolidated. The northerly 29s feet
Of the Union ground has been the bone
OF contention. In the compromise
agreed upon. OF the 29s feet IN dis.
pute. the Union people give the
Sierra Nevada people the north

many and general. But since the horse

formation encountered has been ore

These have been alternating with fire..

day the crosscut is passing into richer
ore than was found q few feet further
