Referring to the assessment levied about

ton Economist says "The Salvage Min
ing Company has levied an assessment of
81 per share AS the Savage is popularity
known as water mine, the mistake was
quite natural.
1t is rumored at Grantsville, says the
Austin New Repeilie, that company of
capitalists have arranged for sinking a
shaft LOCO feet in depth on series of To-
cations recently made adjoining the Ala
media, in the mountain west of the town
of Grantsville. The enterprise is in the
hands of men who have had large expert
ence on the Comstock, and if carried out
as reported means mining in scientific
manner. 1t is claimed that machinery has
been shipped from San Francisco for the
new shaft indicated above.
Messrs. Ladd, Harvey and Emmons have
discovered large ledge on the mountain,
above the Eagle miIe, in Spring Valley,
says the Winnemucca New Silcer State.
We are informed that it is fifteen feet wide,
and that it contains very rich gold-bearlng
quartz. 1t has been named the Nugget,
and is located by the above-named persons.
Specimens of the ore assay from $500 to
Sc, 900 in gold to the ton. In early days
large quartz bowlder, which was studded
with gold, was found near where the ledge
has been discovered. The bowlder Gre
ated considerable excitement among pros
pecters, who spent weeks looking for the
ledge from which it was supposed to have
broken off, but their labors were in vain.
The impression now prevails that the Mug
get is the ledge of which they were in
search, and that it will prove to be very
valuable mine. Spring canyon, near the
head of which it is situated, has produced
hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold
dust, and has been worked extensively, by
whites and Chinese, when water could be
procured to run rockers. 1t is supposed
that the gold found in these placers came
from the Eagle, or Vandewater Company s
mine, and the Nugget.
