Early Records.

The early records Of mining locations
Of all the districts Of Storey county
seem likely to be well preserved q 8 they
now exist, as the book has been three
timss copied. Still the records are far
from being perfect. Leaves were in
early times ripped out and destroyed as
rsmorsslessly a. Time cuts US all down.
The Sierra Nevada location is the first
location in the book and has had names
scratched off and others substituted. The
location is called Sierns vada. Az o pre-.
c~autionary measure and to show the
mutilations OF the original record, the
attorneys OF the company have had 1t
photographed that its fac simils may
never be wanting to show . court just
how things look on the page today.
While the records have been three times
copied and are in triplicate in the Rs.
corder's vaults, . Q index 10 very
much needed, as the n in use Is de-
fectivs and the leaves are loose. and any
one going into the vault could cause .
sad state Of things by carrying of = leaf

CANYON DEL Aqua.
what CoIa sri Gillette Has 10 Say Of
ls and Its Aines.

Colonel NJ. G. Gillette. who returned
yesterday from New Mexico. says the
scene OF his operations is IS miles south
from Santa Fe, in the Ortiz aud Teurto
Mountains, and situated on the Canyon
del Aqua. It is an old Spanish grant OF
$4,000 acres, nov owned by Now York
and Boston capitalists and Senator
Jones. In fact all the old Spanish grants
in thai whole section are being bought
up BY Eastern capitalists.
On these 80. 600 acres are mines OF all
kinds-gold, both placer and quartz,
silver. copper. anthracite and b~ituminous
coal. and every day Is adding to develop
ments. The mines at present being
opened up were located in 1877 by Mex
leans. The Atchison / Topeka Rail-
road runs along n edge Of the grant
and the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
also runs through II on its route to
Mexico. That whole country Is now
being opened up by railroads and the
influx Of population is immense.
II is one OF the finest grazing coun-
tries in the world and the climate 10 very
fine. In places the surface Is d-ns-ly
covered with pinon timber and some
pines, and wood Is plenty. Water 10 not
30 abundant now but is to be brought In
for the placer mines and other uses at o
cost Of about 1000. 900. Wages there
are 50 so per day. yet there are plenty
Msxicans, good miners. who are willing
to work for 81. There is Q l5-stamp
mill on the ground and smelting works
will soon be in operation. The quartz
carries free gold and runs about 500 per
ton.
At present copper ores Of the Ramiez
mines are being shipped to Baltimore
for reduction. These are very rich.
Those Of q poorer quality are left be-
hind and will DO reduced whore taken
out.
There IL q great emigration 10 that
section Of country. Texas Ia getting
more people than Colorado or any other
four states Of the Union. Mines are
being found and opened up all through
the whole country. Especially along
the Mexican border and the northern
boundary. The Pecos Valley Is an OBJ.
ject Of especial interest just o and
thousands are settling there.
Colonel Gillette will loon 60 back
there to sec to things. but does not pur.
pose to lose his residence on the Com.
stock. He says people may talk all
they please about Leadville-and It is a
good csmp-and tell 0! the richness Of
all the mining countries all they please.
but there il more confidence East today
in the permsnsncy OF the Comstock than
Of any other mining section. 1t "has
the call" among capitalists ; and let
anything be struck here and there are
millions ready to be invested in New
York aud Boston in Comstock securities.
