ANOTHER DIFFICULTY SETTLED.


And now It is automatically stated
that tho matters in difference between
the Europa and the Southern Cross are
settled. The mining property south OF
the Ward has lain too long idle.
The initia, development was made in
the Europa by running a tunnel from
the slope OF the ravine west and under
the groupings. This penetrated q dis
lance OF 40 feet and passed through the
ledge, which. on the adit level. was
found 10 be 1l8 feet wide. A Wine was
sunk ON the west wall ll2 feet, from the
foot Of which q crosscut was run back
log feet. This psnstrated the ledge 40
feet and was discontinued for want OF air.
The ledge on the upper level carried
stringers Of quartz and lunches OF low
grade ore, and all these favorable char.
acteristics were multiplied on the lower
level.
Then the present shalt was started.
We do not remember its exact depth,
but IL has three compartments and Is
down at least 600 feet. The surface i'm
provsments and machinery cost In the
neighborhood Of $4,000. From a sta
ton ON the SEQ level a drift was run 445
feet and through the ledge which was
ll5 feet wide. A drift was then run 80
feet along the east wall. Then develop
ments were changed TO the 600 level and
subsequently, trouble arose and for a
long time nothing has been done there.
The Southern Cross lies northwest Of
the Europa.

This has been visiting day along the
Comstock. but it has not been as gener-
ally observed as formerly. Since the
cinch there are not in every mans vest
pocket a thousand shares Of stock, nor
in every safe $4,000 Of California or
Consolidated Virginia. There are not
rs many holders along the lode as there
were last visiting day and combinations
to send 9 representative have been few.
There seems to have been less interest
in the event than usual. too, and all
these causes combined have made call.
ers on the mines few.
The Sierra Nevada has been closed 10
those who could not show proper legal
authority authorizing them to demand
entrance. Several persons were refused
admission, newspaper men with the
rest.
AL this reminds US OF q little remark
said to have been made by Mr.. Mackay
a few days ago. that Mr.. Skae was not
going to allow as many visitors to go
into the mine rs had hitherto been al.
mittsd and that there would not be
as many reports out about the mine.
Miners have certainly been cautioned to
hold their tongues, aud are doing 1t /;
and already there are not cas- many re-
ports ont " as formerly.
No n can blame the management or
the managers back Of the management
for this. II Is simply ridiculous to have
q crosscut reported on every five min
utes. as has been the case recently. AL
can remember how, when going with
Col. Fair through the big bonanza in
earlier days, he would pass along point.

had been cut through. and yet no u

The public buildings were deliberately

New Level.

The reports from the Sierra Nevada
crosscut are still favorable. The ledge
which has been considerably broken Of
late. but which averaged $40 porphyry
and all seems. to have settled down to
regular business. and with II the ragged
edge" OF stockholders has fallen of.
Speculation Is now rife as to the dis.
lance still to the west wall. N sisns Of
which have been encountered. 1t Is
not put by a single expert within the
hundred feet next. while Goth Hast.
the surveyor. puts il 100 feet away.
Here il room enough Tor much good
ore. But II that terrible west wall were
encountered to-day the prospects for
the mine would be big. What is
wanted is depth. The $500 level is to
DO prospected as soon US 1t eau be
reached.
Those who remember how the big
bonanza reached down from the 1900
Lowell and did not attain its bulk till ON
the 1900 and 1850 levels, think the
greatest width OF the Sierra Nevada ore
body will be about the $500 level. The
big bonanza from good milling ore on
the 1900 level reached $500 ore on the
1850 level. The vein already o
tered on the 22sO Is richer and stronger
than the big bonanza OF the 1900. aud
hence the confidence which experts place
in the present development. This Is
Why Archie Borland thinks 1t the best
prospect ever encountered on the lode.
The feeling Is beginning to prevail
among many that they don't care much
whether there is any more orc on the
22O0 level or not. With what has already
been found the mine is bound to be a
big Quo further down.
But 1t should DO remembered that the
vein has not been crossed yet anywhere
below tho 1900 level. II must be &C.
knowledged, therefore, that very little
is known Of the development. That
little is enough, however. to guarantee
something better below. and that some
thing is now what men want to see.

Tho Superior Consolidated Mine.

The question OF the existence Of pay.
ing lodges in the mountain west OF the
main Comstock is about to be tested.
with every prospect OF a decision in the
affirmative. In early days considerable
surface prospecting was done on the base
Of the mountain near the line Of the
Comstock in some instance, as that OF
the Burnside. developing fno ore pros.
poets. For the wan. Of capital most Of
these locations were either abandoned or
allowed TO lie dormant. the holders in
most instances being prospectors and
poor men. and only doing enough work
from year TO year to keep good their
titles. Among these locations Is that OF
the Consolidated Superior. u mine in
