The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1881-04-08

The result Of the election OF Monday last
throughout this State is highly gratifying to
the Republican party, and shows that the peo-
pis OF Michigan are still in sympathy with the
Ism, and tbat they propose to have nothing to
do with rag babies or soft money hcresies of
any kind. The majority for the state ticket is
unprecedentedIy large for a spring election,
PROBABLY not less than 10000. The vote OF the
Greenback party shows q decided falling of,
sad Prohibition party, as usual, polled vote
too small to be worthy OF consideration. Detroit,
the metropolis OF toe State, has proven itself
TO be a substant al Republican city, giving good
ma, oclties for the entire State aud Judicial
ticket aud eieeting most OF their local ticket.
Hon. John L. Rich is elected to Congress
from the 7th district. by an increased majority

ION which was brought to bear upon him from
vaaous quarters OF the Circuit. or those
ta.ngs it is not nov necessary to speak, - they

The Costly search After Gold
and Silver.

AS every one knows, the Com
stock mines at the present time are
all in "borraSca," or poor ground,
and not one Of them to-day is pay
ing a dollar in dividends. On the
contrary, they are all levying assess
ments, and are spending enormous
IsumS In prospecting and driving
after that Will-'o-the-Wisp bonanza
that is forever being predicted as
just a little beyond the levels OF
every mine on the lode.
The Yellow jacket, that at one
time had famous bonanza which
paid in dividends 81, $4,000 previous
to 1871, and which has been q steady
assessor for the greater part Of the
past ten years, has prospected the
lode to a depth exceeding 1000
feet, by a shaft which, on the
list Of July last. had cost,
without interest, $1,674, 203.53, and is
yet without use. The assessments
of this company have already
amounted to $4,O98,0OO. and during
the year ending June 30th, 1881, the
expenditures at the mines were
$549,740, of which S27,230 were on
account of and for driving 743 feet
Of the Sutro Tunnel. During the
year 1,055 feet Of drifts were run,
and $50 feet of diamond drill pros
.pect holes, which was all the effec-
tive prospecting done for over $780,
900. The greater part Of the outlay
was fOrpamping and repairs. The
superintendent says: From April
18th, when connection was made
with the SutrO Tunnel, to June
10th, or a little more than one
month, we pumped and hoisted &c.
100000 gallons, or 100000 tons, Of
water. We have had since that time
"a steady flow of sixty miners inches,
or 720 gallons per minute. ="
This amount, 81 tons per minute, or
about $500 tons a day, is raised
from the 3O00-foOt level to the SutrO
Tunnel, nearly 1.50U feet, and in
wolves an expense greater than that
required to work some of the largest
and most profitable mines in the
country. Yet at the present time
the Yellow Jacket is simply a pros
pect, and all these expenditures are
merely prospecting expenses in
Cured in the hope of finding some
thing. And this is but one out of a
score Of mines prospecting the Com
stock, none of which pay expenses
Never before in the history of the
world have such enormous sums
been expended for prospecting as we
see to-day on the Comstock. The
same amount prudently invested in
less expensive and more promising
districts would no doubt produce
vastly better reSultS.-EngiReeYiR9
