THE COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK.

II business figures can be relied upon and
count for anything, the outlook for 1880 is
more encouraging than certain class of peo-
pie are willing to admit. For long time
America imported millions of dollars worth of
manufactured goods from the old world, and
our neighbors across the sea bought very lit
tie Of us. The balance Of trade has now begun
to turn in our favor During the last year the
expectations Of the United States have ex-
ceeded its importations by many millions, and
our trade constantly increasing. This has
had cheering effect upon commercial affairs,
and sort Of business wave has lifted itself in
the East, whose crest sparkles and flashes in
the golden sunlight of good tunes, II lie com
ing this way and will surge along this coast in
due course of time. All the business repolts
from banks, railroads, clearing houses, prod
nee markets and man ufaoturiss from the Allan
til sea board and Middle States show a vital
ity in commercial arteries which is 4 sure in
dicAtion of business health. OF course the
chronic GROWERS will still maintain that times
are hard and money is close. With such peo-
ole money is always close and always will be.
They hoard up their earnings, spend only
what is absolutely necessary and bemoan the
state of the times People are more fright
eped than hurt. Times are Tot hard except
when compared with the seasons OF unhealthy
imitation which are past, let us hope, forever.
The country is full of money which can be had
y. low rates of interest. Here in Nevada pres
poets are brighter than ever. The Comstock
lode is getting ready for another period of
bullion yielding. There are several mining
districts in Nevada III prosperous condition
while dozens are opening up with fne promise
The Enterprise contains the following views
Of Senator Jones on the present prospects of
the Comstock lode: " Senator j. P. Jones has
great faith in the Comstock bonanzas yet to
come In saying that along the lode We are
now passing into new and fertile formation,
he is correct and shows that he has kept him
self we'll informed in regard to our mining op-
erStions. We are just now passing out of this
barren belt lying below the second range of
bonanzas Below the FIRST bonansas occurred
a barren zone which wss So uniform in it's
course that it can easily be traced almost from
end to end of the Comstock.
On the surface this barren belt is pretty
wellrepresented by the line of street, though
of course it is not perfectly straight. Stand
ing on the Divide and looking northwsrd along
Q street toward Cedar Hill, We havs before us
on the left the old limo of works IF the first bo
nAnsas and on the right the second line of
works on the late bonsnzas, with still further
10 the right the third line of works which are
10 tap our next range of bonsnzas.
We already know that the barren space be- |
tween the second and third range Of bonanzss |
is greater than that between the first and sec |
ond, but just how much wider it is to be. We
do not know In time wa shall probably learn
the ratio of increase in these barren zones. 1t
now appears to be in proportion to the i'll
creased width Of the fertile zons. As the sec
ond line of bOnanzas was much more valuable
than the first, 80 We may expect the third to
the vein itself in most places remains of the
same width and general appearances, 1T Is prob
able that the silver having formed nucleus
Of ore along certain belt attracted to that
point the silver in solution, in vapor, or in
form it WAS. from parts of a vein to
. certain distance above and below. Ia this
way there would beaternating barren and fer
tile zones of corresponding width.

similar depth, at the bottom Of the Ophir in ,
line, some 500 feet below the surface, and =.
It other points on tho lead, indicates that
another zone of boasnzas is a0ont to be
'sachsd. And this is also the conclusion We
naturally arrive at from what We have thus
ar seen Of these alternating belts of barren
nd fertile ground,
