Holders Of shares in most OF the mines
Of the Comstock can afford, for q time
at least. to disregard the little tsstsring'
and tossings Of the market and to turn
q deaf ear 10 the dippers and dabbler'
who cry, "Lo. here! 20 and "Lo. there y
Patience Is q virtue. Let them possess
themselves Of IL and knot their ties
tightly around their nscks 20 that II
does not oozs around their shirt collars
and wait just . little and they will b
made glad.
It 10 just beginning to dawn upon the
minds of some that Union. with its LOO
feet OF rich ore. isn't much alter all
that is, not much comparatively speak
ing, and taking into account what 1t ID
to be. The News begs to assure its
readers that tho most positive indios-
tons are that Union has not yet touched
its main ore body at all-or II at all.
then east OF the slopes on the 24O0 level.
The material-ors aud quartz and clay
and porphyry-whioh lies outside the
slopes il another formation en-
tirely and 90 il the low grade
quartz south Of the slopes In the east
DRIFT from tho shaft. As has been hinted
several times in these columns. Unions
great and main orc body lies south and
east and below the slopes. The material
east from the slopes has required tim.
boring up to the face Of the drift. 324
feet east OF the shaft. 1t is in soft vein
material carrying rich ore in streaks and
punches all the way from the slopes. II
will take q week or moro yet to get the
winzs started down. BY that time OF
before the shaft will be started for the
$500 level. Important Developments
may b looked for soon after.
And Of Sierra Nevada 1t may truthfully
be said. at doth not yet appear what II
will be-" It has been tossing ore and
porphyry back and forth for q long time
and afraid OF water; but that Is about
over. That II has rich ore at the south
end everybody knows. The winze proves
II to extend $50 feet north at least and tc
make down. while 800 feet north OF the
incline and away east amid the mos'
promising surroundings and in another
formation IL has from 8 TO ~ feet oil
ore and indications OF more still iurtheI
north and deeper down.
Opbir, too. has its new formation SC
rich indeed that even its injected por'
pbyry will pay to mill. It lies east Of
the Hardy vein and there are workings
on the 2lOO. 1900 and $500 levels to find
out more about 1t. In the meantime,
the east crosscut. 2l0o level. which do.
vslopsd the And. continues in fine vein
material. carrying more Of this rich ore
in streaks and punches. Tho vein which
il largest will soon be followed up TO zee
what will come OF 1t. In the meantime,
400 feet lower down and from the
incline . drift 10 running east which will
doubtless tell tales Of gladness when iar
enough away in that direction to reach
tho same formation.
There are points Of interest in almost
every mine ON the lode. a. will be seen
by the reports below. but which cannot
DO particularizsd here. Bslchsr, how
ever. will lose mono Of its interest by
reason Of the Wine to be sunk from the
