A representative of the SILVER STATE
paid flying visit to
Mill CRY
Saturday afternoon. This station was
to be the terminus of the Humboldt
Canal. u project inadg grated by the
late Joseph GiBacca 10 early days,
whel it was thought that the mines of
Prince Royal District. situated on the
eastern slope OF the Humboldt Range,
and now abondoned, were ut least equal
to those of the Comstock Mills, run
by water brought through the canal. u
distance of IS miles from the river at
GOlconda, were to be built at the ter.
minus of the ditcn foe reducing ores.
hence the name which now seems a
missioner. Freight clippers wee tat ~
ca go aboard for the Surrounding
mining camps, aud everybody about
the place seemed busy.

is said 20 be producing more paying ore
at the present time than at any prior
time since 1873. The ere Is richer and
the ledge better dehued. and In conse-

hopeful that the prosperity of the camp
will be renewed, and that tImes will be
as lively in the spring as III yeuls goue
