 FLORENCE, December 15, 1879.
 EDITOR STOCK REPORT, San Fran cisco. Cal.-on my return from Globe nis,rict I was enabled to visit the Silver King mine, located in this coun- tv and about 35 miles north of Flor cnce I had heard much of it's great
 oo,,b My examination satisfied me that instead of the report being e1ag erated. the contrary is the fact. In me management of this property much credit is due for the manner Tn when ,Lev have opened it up during the nsst wear. They have, without any pTnense to the stockholders, sunk a 6ne timbered shaft three hundred and Sf,v feet deep, cutting the vein proper m n, three hundred feet. At depth Of two hundred and fifty feet cut was made through eigheen feet of granite ,o inc hanging wall, where the vein was tapped and crossed for seventy a;gbt feet, all sold ore, much oi IL assaviny in the thousands, half ot It %Tb in inc hundreds and the rest Of 1t wjIi work a profit. The same rich ore voc exposed whe'e the shaft passes ;,,o ,h,. vein snd 10 change IS visible | asII inc way 10 tie DoILOm. inc value of this mass of reserves cannot be well properly estimated, but it assures to i those interested the possession, beyond doubt, of great wealth that will out ! last this generation. The ten stamp min of the company has steadily run without intermissOn the entire year m nav ore taket from the old work inc. on the foot wall side. No divi. i dends have been declared since last October, but inc property has been and is being opered, and the show oi ore now made more than compensates f for the delay. Surveys and plans are now being made for first class thirty stump mill a, the mine, with reduction works complete, 10 turn out the bull ion there. Until this new mill is ready and in running order the present ten stamp mill at Picket Post will be kept running as at present., when the con- centrstion process will be changed to that of amalgating and the twenty five T tons of tailjngs converted into bullion. Everything at the mine and mill indi- cates a thoroughly defined policy of economy and practical material results No company on this slope can show a better record in this respect. Any I doubts that prevailed heretofore re- gardin! the Silver King being true Assure vein of great magnitude, are now ended, as both walls are fully eX- pos,d. They arc of synetic granite, and the vein quartz and porphyry. Much of the ore b most beautiful ruby and native silver. This property la q fair reput tion put not near what the showing entities t to. Its owners may we'll be proud of ts possession and at some not distant day Arizona and the Pacific coast vii render to it the po- sition in the mining world to which it is justly entitled.
 The above is copied from the San Francisco Stock Report, of December l9, and will assist in placing the King property In it's deserved position be fore the public The immense wealth of this mine is bound to make itself felt, and known and acknowledged The difference between the King and the COmstock s, that the latter needs millions for assessments, while the former has millions for dividends.
