the Comstock Kings.
The Carson Appeal has faith in the
northend mines. It asserts positively that
a bonanza can be opened there on short
notice. Those who read the annual report
OF superintendent Patten, published about
40 days since, will remember that he To-
Gated ore on the 2700-foot level of Union
Consolidated. How much he did not say,
but that there is ore there in greater or
less quantity is as sure as that day sue
ceeds night. 1t was found with the Dia-
mond drill. The 2700 level is now being
developed by drifts and crosscuts. The
situation therefore becomes an interesting
one. Hit or miss, the market for the north
enders ought to improve while the explor-
atoms are going on. The Appeal has the
following
DELAYS IN THE DEAL.
The continued delays in the deal on the
Comstock have been ascribed to various
causes, and the so-called stock and mining
newspapers have for two years past been
advancing theories to account for all man
ner Of things regarding which the public
are anxious to get news Some of the Or
gans lave failed to present any of the rea-
sons because they we're entirely ignorant
of the facts, and others have simply ar
rived at their erroneous conclusions by fol-
lowing the dictations OF the parties in
whose pay they are.
THE DIAMOND DRILL.
For three years past it has been a well
established fact that bonanza of colossal
proportions has existed in the northend.
The ground occupied by Sierra Nevada
and Union has been drilled from end to
end and the result perfectly we'll known.
The representations that the drilling was.
made to ascertain the presence of water
was a fraud and a blind. The drill was
the most powerful weapon ever placed in
the hands of the insiders. In the early
DAYS when en- ore body was only reached
by good, honest drifting it was not easy to
conceal the presence of pay ore. The
miners who ran the drift could always
make more by investing than keeping
quiet and the facts we're sure to leak out.
With a drill the case is different. 1t can
be run only in the presence OF the manage
ment. and when not in use can be locked.
Under the keen eye of the superintendent
there is no chance Of a miner getting an
assay, or the superintendent and foreman
can run it alone. 1t can penetrate several
hundred feet ahead of a drift and by its
use the insiders can tell where a bonanza
lies q year before it is reached by drifts or
crosscuts.
SHARON TO HI FRONT.
1t was the original plan of the Bonanza
firm to make a big deal all along the line,
and Sharon, who had been laying in the
background watching for an opportunity
to retrieve his prestige and fortune, knew
Of this intention. His henchmen gave out
that he had disposed of all his interests in
the ledge and would never touch it again.
All this while he was quietly absorbing the
southend mines for political and financial
purposes. Sharon now has the control of
Chollar, Alpha, Imperial, Potosi, Conf
dence, Jacket, Kentuck, Crown Point,
Belcher and Overman. Now no sane man
will suppose that he made all these invest
ments for mere pastime.
THE JEWS TAKE A HAND.
The Jews also got wind Of coming
events and played their cards with good
success. The Jews nov control Savage,

affair and they won because the Bonanza
firm did not dare to make an open coin
struggle for the mine. They did not wish
to rave the idea go ent that they cared
much for the mine, and therefore only
offered a small premium for stock to use
in voting at the annual election. "Why
should anyone want the old water-logged

can handle the assessments Of a mine with
out ore or prospects, and make tpay, why
cannot another crowd do just as well out

BoNANzA INTERESTS.
This leaves the Bonanza firm with Utah,
Sierra Nevada, Mexican, Ophir, Union
Con-, California, Con. Virginia. Best d
Belcher, Gould q Curry. No inconsider-
able an interest, but not all they want.
This is their supposed ownership at pres.
emit, yet in a fight for the control OF any OF
the above named mines except Sierra Ne
vada and Union Con-, ii is strongly prob
able that they could not win a square
trick. Their cunning rivals have quietly
picked up the stock dumped on the market
to cause q depression, and when they be-
gan to feel around for the stock 1t was not
so easy to find.
TIL MILK IN H cocoANuT.
The contemplated deal has therefore been
delayed because a boom at the northend
would cause an upheaval all along the line,
and bring Sharon ct al. in for a lively per-
cent of the profits. Sharon and his crowd
also tried to secure the Sutro Tunnel, but
a feeler sent to Scotland in the person OF
an agent satisfied them an attempt in that
direction was useless, the other side hav-
ing forestalled them completely.
THE PRESENT SITUATION.
1t is quite probable that the two powers
will after awhile break their deadlock n
pull together for mutual interests. The
recent stiffening Of northend stocks means
something. There are at present in Wine
No. ! on the 2700 Union Con. nine drill
holes. 1t is not necessary to run so many
holes in feeling for water. Ore was reached
by the first drill, and the rest of the holes
d~iverging west from the winze have been
run to ascertain the quality of the ore.
