SOME MINING PROBLEMS.

A San Francisco paper, In speaking
Of the difficulties in the way Of work
ing the Comstock mines, says that the
expenses of the mine is pretty nearly
in the ratio Of increasing depth: The
rule is not absolutely true, because
there never was 50 much science ap-
piled to mining as now Never before
could such an amount OF water be
taken from deep mine at this date.
In some of the mines Of Mexico both
ore and water were carried up ladders
on the backs Of poems.
Now some OF the mines On the
Conlstock lode discharge more than a
thousand tons Of water per day. One
difficulty has not been overcome.
When water breaks out in a mine at a
depth of more than 1000 feet. which
is of the temperature Of 100 degrees,
or near that figure, it may be possible
to handle it-that is to lift up a Ger
tain amount and discharge it. But it
IS not 50 easy matter TO control the
temperature. Men can only work a
short time in such heat.
How to cool hot mine Is still the
unsolved problem. How to extract
ore at the depth OF 5000 feet, with
water coming N at a temperature of
100 degrees, every drop Of which
would raise blister, and cook a man
if he should fall into it, is still an
open question. 1t IS within the pos
sibiIities to do it. But the economic
question is, can it be done profitabIy? !?
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1880-09-02
Il LUCKY TUMBLE.

The most singular manner Of being
struck with fortune in prospecting,
that We ever heard of, occurred above
Spring Gulch, on Sunday last. Mr..
Snow, late Of San Francisco. was out
on quartz hunt with DR.. Drake, Of
San Francisco. They we're returning
home, it being stormy, whan Snow
was suddenly missed by hiscompanior,
Shows horse had slipped of the bluff,
and down he went at an angle of
forty-fve degrees, horse, rider and
rifle (Which he grasped firmly in his
hand) rolling over and over in the
snow, until he was brought up against
mass Of stone standing up out of the
snow, its top covered with moss. He
was not hurt, rs the cold, soft cushion
had saved his bones from hard ground
beneath. Scrambling up against the
rock, he noticed it was quartz lode,
and where the horse had accidentally
kicked off the moss something glitter
ed. His eyes "bugged" out, but he
did not stop to brush them off, his
hands.we too busy clawing OF the
moss.
Darkness coming on, he. had only
time to break .,off few specimens
which are filled with pure ore. One
small piece exhibited in town was es.
tlmated to be three-quarters gold.
Tons Of it are apparently still await
ing its owner. Snow says the vein is
about thirty feet thick, and in his i'm
pulsive generosity he gave away sew
eral shares of his vein soon after. He
told us that he "would not look at
s25, 900 for his interest" 1t is with
out doubt the richest fs<sss Of quartz
ever discovered in this country except
the Divoh bonanza, recently discov-
cred here in Sonora. Of course he
told us to keep it out Of the papers.
but the caution we find to be getting
monotonous. Mr.. Snow is very W.
known in San Francisco as .1 altSoue,
i-of merit and a gentleman VII a.
serving the good fortune he has
g. tumbled to- Some men are born
rich. Others have.,riches thrust upon
them, but Mr.. Snow has drifted
through air and snow, right slap up
against pile of riches that would
make old Rothschild's keen eyes turn
rreen with envy. .Son0yu LYIcofNArNf

RUBY CAMP.

The town is much larger and diff
terently located from what we had ex-
pected Instead of a lot Of one story,
miserable log shanties, numbering
peroaps fifty or one hundred, we found
town of upwards of 200 buildings,
many of them fine frame structures-a
credit to growing mining camp.
The principal business street runs
from northwest to southeast and is
we'll covered on both sides with bust
ness houses for distance of three or
four squares. Ninth street is lleprinci-
pal business thoroughfare, which rises
at an. angle of about light degrees,
and contains, we would say, about
100 business bouses. Tenth street is
rapidly building upas business street,
while avenue + crosses it at right
angle, and is we'll flied up for one
square. The altitude of Irwin has
been ascertained to be about 10, 500
feet, or I 900 feet below timber line.
The town and camp contains about
1900 people, a large majority of whom
are miners and prospectors.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1880-09-02

Mr.. George F. Coleman, who halls
from Lafayette, Indiana, tells the
tribune that he has certainly struck 1t
rich, but he will not tell where. He
is young man who came west few
months ago and wandered over into
the mountains south Of Leadvllle, and
about hundred miles from Denver.
Passing VOLTS hole, he saw CURIOUS
locking piece Of stone lying at the
mouth, which had been scratched out
by lupus. He picked it up and had
an assay made. The result was sur
prising, so he says. He located
eleven claims. He arrived in Denver
the other day, and an assay returned
SI,I5o in silver. He claims to have
been offered $4,000 for half interest
in two claims. The mineral is thought
to be chloride -DeWu<r 2i1b.Se.
