Sierra Nevada was thrown open today
to q large number OF visitors. Invitations
were issued to such a. were welcome
visitors and those who during visiting
days had willfully misrsprsssnted what
they saw in the mines were left to gain
their information from others. In this
issue there Ia only time 10 say that the
Developments were found to be all that
they had been represented. There il
ore from the frst point Of intersection
some % feet to the face Of the drift and
no falling OF in quality. but rather an
increase in the general richness OF the
whole formation. 1t solves the problem
at this point most Satisfactorily. Tho
general opinion Of the large number
who inspected the ore body ID exceed
ingly favorable.
The facts above mentioned ought to
teach the skspticsl press and people at
the Bay that the publications regarding
the mines which have been made a. facts
by the Comstock press have been worthy
Of belief. Comments and speculations
on the situation which have been made
from time to time as such together with
differences drawn from indications, may
have been at fault; but even in that case
they should have misled no one. for the
lines between them and reports Of the
mines have oil the time been clearly
drawn. Whatever may b the tendency
OF the market from this time on NO one
can longer doubt that the rise Of the past
few days has been based on real merit.
The Developments have been such a. to
give more than probability to the belief
Of the managers Of Sierra Nevada and
Union Consolidated that there IL Q Boz
nanza lying in those mines second to
none in richness whatever its extent
may DO proved hereafter to be. The
beliefs in regard to this latter point may
have been and may still be s~1travagant.
but they have most firmly held through
good and i'll report by those most fsmil-
lar with the situation and have been
backed by them with millions Of dollars.
SO great has been the interest in the
developments above mentioned that even
the interesting situation In Ophir has
been neglected. The west crosscut,

that was expected Of 1t, but In q quiet

again in q promising formation which
is worthy OF consideration. Develop.
ments along the Hardy vein on the 2loo
level are also Of moment, as are those
on and above the 2l50 level Of the Cali
fornia. Except as q general advance has
been made, the situation elsewhere re-
mains practically unchanged. A better
state Of feeling has, however. sprung
up along the whole lode. and work in
promising localities outside the great
