Allow me to state that neither
myself or wife are sick, as published

to have them up in a few days, as
they are now doing well.

THE KOSsUTH MINE.
Work Likely to be Soon Resumed
There.

George H. Goddard, one of the
directors of the Kossuth Mining
Company, has been in this city for a
few days past, looking into the
affairs of the company, with the
view of resuming operations at the
mine. Mr.. Goddard informs us that,
some time before work was sus-
pended, strike of rich ore was re-
ported, and day or two afterward a
body of water was struck. Soon
after the works were shut down. Mr..
Goddard does not know that the
tapping of the body Of water was a
stockjobbing operation, but he says
that many of the stockholders be-
lieved it was, and acting on this be-
lief they busted the old management
and installed a new one, who will
endeavor to develop the property in
a way satisfactory to all the stock
holders.

THE NEW EIGHT.STAMP MILL.
An Experiment Of Great Import.
ance to Silver City.

The new eight-stamp mill being
erected in this city by r. A. Young
and W. w. Sirlott will be ready to
be started up early in November.
Its working capacity will be about
twelve tons per day. The ore worked
will be extracted from the Emigrant
and Table Mountain mines, which
Messrs Young and Sirlott have leased
for a term of years. The mill will
be the only one of the kind on the
Comstock, and is being built on
speculation, as the practicability of
working at q profit our low-grade
ores for the gold alone has not been
demonstrated. Should the expert
ment be satisfactory there will doubt
less be many more mills of the same
pattern erected at once, as the whole
vicinity, for miles around, teens with
lodges carrying $15 to $50 worth of
gold per ton. The foundry work for
the mill will be manufactured at the
Union Iron Works, in Virginia.

BRIEF MENTION.

Mrs. Leslie Carroll will lecture in
the Miners Union Hall this evening.
The new ore-dump of the Alta is
nearly completed, and the extraction
of ore will soon commence at that
mine.
A proclamation of Governor Brad.
ley offering rewards for purposes
stated, will be found in another
column.
A meeting of the Republican
County Central Committee will be
held in this city on Saturday, 10th
instant, at 2 o'clock P. M.
The sun is out again, the roads are
drying up, the wind has abated, and
we seem to be entering upon another
stretch of Indian summer.
This is the striking" season. That
is, a man in any way connected with
politics cannot walk along the street
for five minutes without being
"struck" for piece. This is most
noticeable on G street, in Virginia
City, and the candidates unfortunate
enough to be compelled to travel that
thoroughfare seldom appear there I'M
provided with stack of half-dollars,
which they dole out to the right and
left.
The Lady Bryan hosting works
were totally destroyed by fire last
Sunday morning. Loss from $780,,
900 to $4,000. The damage to the
machinery was comparatively slight,
but delay of at least thirty days
will occur before work can be re-
sumed in the mine. In the mean
time it is not likely that any assess
ment will be levied, as the company
have in the treasury an amount ex-
ceeding $4,000.
Rev. George r. Davis, of Nevada
city, CAL, will shortly take charge of
st. Peters (EpiscopaD church, in
Carson City. Mr.. Davis is the father
of Sam Davis, one of the reporters
for the Virginia Evening Chronicle.
He is not of the strait-laced school
of "gospelizers," but seeks to recon-
cile religion with common sense, and
has been quite successful in his min
istrations. He will prove desira-

THE CHEROKEE MINE.
The Incline Shaft Down About
Twenty-Five Feet-Three Shifts
OF Men to be Put on Soon.

The new incline-shaft on the
Cherokee mine has attained depth
of about twenty-five feet, and is
being sunk at the rate of about two
and half feet per day. The exca-
walton is quite large, being fully
16x10, but as soon as the surface
timbers are in the hole made will
not exceed 10x7. Only one shift is
at work now, but when depth of
about fifty feet shall haye been at
tanned three shifts, working eight
hours. will be put on. The incline
is being sunk on the line of the
Lower Comstock and Cherokee mines,
but 1t is on true north and south
line. As the line of the claims
named runs from southwest to north
east, the incline will soon be out of
Lower Comstock ground altogether.

The Man Who Has Made Money In

You know him as soon as you see
him. He wears new suit of clothes
generally Of some cloud" pattern
smokes none but two.bit cigars,
and talks with sort of condescend-
ing afability that would be exceed.
ingly funny If it were not so exas-
perating. He tells you of his pro.
posed trip to Europe, and how he
will return next spring, and then
make the stock market BOOM; how
he will buy the controlling interest
in mine, and show Jim Fair, John
Kelly and them fellows how to run
an institution of that kind. He
would say great deal more, but
you get out of patience before he is
half through, and as you leave him,
he looks pityingly down upon you,
and hopes that you will not be such
damned fool next time, and that
you will buy 'em when they're low
and sell 'em when they're high.
