A great deal has been done along the
Comstock since last report. yet the situ.
alton has not reached an exciting point.
In other words, the required develop.
msnt has not yet been made. The situa-
ton Is continually changing and ad.
vsneemsnts are making. and this re-
port, which has been made with more
than usual care. chronicles many i'm
portant facts.
10 Sierra Nevada the chief point OF
interest is . new departure on the $500
level to get at the ore body found on the
240O level and cut in the winzs below
that level.
Union has connected Ito shaft by its
south drift. $500 level. with the great
thoroushiare from ophir to Sierra Ne
vada. Wine No. l has really some
thing better than heretofore. but the
water bothers so that no u can yet tell
positively what 1t Is.
Mexican. besides joining In important
movements with her nsishbors. starts of
west on the $500 level to see what is
there.
Ophir will now divide attention with
Union. Ventilation will this week DO
secured for the 1000 level. and then 1t
will be seen what the ore vein there
amounts to. That 1t will yield ore
enough to run the mine 10 certain. and 1t
may pay dividends by leading to the
looked.for bonanza.
Then the big winzs way of east is
about to commence letting light through
three compartments into the interesting
formation lying there. and which swings
SO heavily to the east and looks so like
the mother Of bonanzas. OF the way
north into Union.
The big bonanza is yielding about 400
tons Of ore per day. To be sure. the
ore is not Of high grade, but there are
dividends In 1t II the present yield con.
tinuss, ss It bids fair to for sometime.
Chollar may be expected at almost any
time to start up operations to the south
and carry them into Potosi.
Bslcher is digging south on the 5000
level and drilling east again; and 10 pre-
pairing for more extended prospectiugs
on the 276o level. which has by no
means been exhausted OF its prospects.
Alta has something on the 2o5o level.
The drill has demonstrated that fact.
and the crosscut must now tell what
that something Is. Assays Of behring's
