Rich strike in sierrs Nevada.
VIRGINIA, New, Sept. 15.-The
excitement In regard to the strike
in Sierra Nevada Is still unabated,
In an interview this evening with
Senator Fair, he said to an Enter
prise reporter, when asked what
was being done at the bottom of
the joint Union and Sierra Nevada
winze: II do not wish to say what
am doing at that point. l will
say, however, that l am opening
up the development as fast as
possibly can." Being asked If all
looked as we'll as yesterday, he
answered In the affirmative. He
intimated that before long there
would be something more to be
said. Mrs. Fair visited the mine
to-day. She descended to the bot
tom Of the winze and brought up a
specimen which Mr.. Fair said
weighs 80 or 40 pounds. She says
the bottom of the winze looks
s'lovely," which Is the answer of
Mr.. Fair himself. The best obtain
able unofficial Information is that
last night, after a set of holes had
been drilled ready to be charged,
the order came to set up the drill
and drill downward In the bottom,
which was done. The supposition
is that the drill was running all
day to-day. specimens of the ore
show it to be black sulphurets and
rich, but as yet no assays have
been made public. One of our old
est mining superintendents, who
to-day saw u piece of the ore weigh
ing four or five hundred pounds.
says it is genuine black sulphurets,
and fine, but did not feel at liberty
to say just how much. He thought
1t would assay very high. The
drift from the Union shaft on the
2700-level is tapping considerable
hot water to-day, but has not
reached the ore channel.
