The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1880-05-15

ing the week ending to-day, the depth of
the main incline has been increased II
feet, and the west crosscut advanced 9
feet The formation is still very hard
and close in both workings, but not differ
ent from what was expected. Ore goes
steadily forward to the furnace as fast as
teams can haul it. Wednesday we loaded
four six-ton wagons, but yesterday we
only had transportation for ten tons. To-
day we are shipping some of the rich
crystal carbonates, in sacks. All is well
at the mine, and my successor, l think,
will find very plain sailing. There can
hardly be less than 500 (eight hundred)
tons OF good ore in sight, and any guam
tity of low grade. Fa.a
No MORE AID. The Charity which
has heretofore been discussed during the
winter months to some deserving families
in distressed circumstances has now
ceased, as all the money in the sick fund
is exhausted and the Commissioners think
that those heretofore aided can look out
for themselves without the aid of the
county during the summer months.
STAGING. There is about to be de-
cided improvement made in the stage
route between here and Eureka. Jot

Hereafter stages will be run right through
instead Of buckboards so that passengers
will have no more complaints to make in
future ..sr.. g
