naturally suggested to the mind Is.
whether or not the formations there
found are the northern extension OF the
Comsteck. Many old and experienced
mining men declare II 10 be 30 unhesita-
tingly. The ledge il said to have been
followed in its trend to the north about
30 miles, but the difficulty is to trace II
to the acknowledged Comstock. This
can be done only by deep and connected
mining. Yet there are many experts
who avow. allowances being made for
dip. distance. depression and the known
curve OF the Comstock. that that famous
lode will be found right in the Flowery
District.
vIEwED PROM ITS W LOCALITY
And the section seems cut of irretriev-
ably from the Comstock by impossible
walls OF trachyte which hem In the
vicinity on three sides forming o basin
and leave 1t open for IN outlet only to
the south aud east. Across these there
appear to be two or more lodges having
u trend to the east OF north. The two
principal veins found are apparently
about 600 feet apart. n running along
by the Lady Bryan and another through
by the Flowery. North Bonanza and
their extension called the Buckeye.
Both are broad aud rich aud whether
the Comstock runs there or not Ia
practically OF no Importance /; since a
well defined vein Of metal bearing quartz
is certainly there.
IN EARLY DAYS
Large quantities OF ore we're taken from
the North Bonanz, location. Work was
commenced there as early as 1862 by A.
]. Davis aud party. who tunncled and
stopped ore from the claim ill 1868.
These parties ran two tunnels In from
one Of the ravines crossing the ledge.
The lower tunnel struck the ore vein
from the east after having been pushed
In about 100 feet and was then continued
about 900 feet further. but not far
enough to reach the west wall. Therei is
good milling ore In streaks much OF tae
way where this tunnel cut tho ledge.
The face OF 1t Is now In good looking
quartz and some OF the stringers OF ore
are broad enough to warrant STOPPING.
ALONG THg EAST CLAY WALL OF TuR LEDGE
Aud from u point 100 feet from the
mouth OF the tunnel q drift has been
run some seventy feet, aud from this an
incline OF three compartments has bean
appraised and sunk to the new hosting
works on the surface. a distance Of
about 40 feet. This drift aud the in.
cline are in the caprock OF the ledge and
from 1t some assays rs high as $40 have
been made. This incline il being
pushed ON below the tunnel level and Is
intended for the main venue for work.
