The Regents of the University had
picture in the History of Nevada costin,
SlS7. The Board of Examiners are hkel,
to refuse to sign it.
The Austin Reveille has entered upor
its thirty.eighth volume and last sir
months OF its nineteenth year. 1t is the
oldest paper in the State with the ex.
ception of the Virginia City Enterprise.
In making their semi.annual settle.
ments, four counties over paid their State
proportions by over 81, 800. OF course
| they receive credit for the overplus, but
| it shows how little some of the Auditors
know about their business.
Eureka Sentinel: L. p. Drexler is re-
ported to have said, says the Post, that
the managers of the Virginia Consoli.
dated and Mexican mines can within a
rea enable time show as fine a face of
ore on the 200 level as has been seen on
the Comstock within the past FIVE years,
and he censures them for delaying the
work of prosecuting.
Silver State: The Emma mine, at Viii.
low Creek, owned by A. H. Ruse, is pro-
ducing some very fine looking ore. It is
opened by a tunnel to depth of sixty
feet, and the ore is quite different and
much richer than it was at the surface.
1t is free milling ore, principally chloride,
and Is said to assay over $500 to the ton
in silver and $40 in GOLD
During the year just past there were
80 deaths in Storey county resulting from
mining and other accidents, suicides muir.
ders and poisoning. OF these, 10 were
caused by mining accidents, 8 by suicide,
9 by accidental poisoning and other
causes, and four by murder or homicide.
In noticing the Geddes & Bertrand
mine, the Eureka Sentinel of the eth
says: The quantity of ore in sight is ca.
timated by Dick Bergman, formerly
foreman Of the mine, at $500, 900 worth,
the ore assaying between $50 and $40
per ton. The furnaces will work so tons
per day, OF twenty.four hours, but have
a capacity--if other furnaces be put in,
for which place is reserved-of reducing
100 tons in the same time.
The editor of the Carson Tribune saws
he has taken pains to interview all the
stock magnates who have passed through
Carson during the past few weeks and
tailed to meet one that gave even leaf
from the tree Of hope. All state plainly
that unless new mines are struck, or
such developments made in the old ones
as shall warrant continuation of paving
lodges, that the days of the ComstocE
are ended.
Virginia Enterprise: While prospect.
ing a short while ago in the vicinity of
Pyramid Lake, Michael Millich dis.
covered blind ledge which is proving to
be very rich. He has sunk a shaft six.
teen feet deep and six feet wide, and has
found no sign of either hanging or foot
wall. He has had two assays made of
ore from the vein. One sample taken
from the surface went 1912, while an.
other, taken from depth of sixteen feet,
showed Sl67.57. Free gold is plainly to
be seen in some of the samples.
Eureka Sentinel: At 10 o'clock last
night the cry of fire was heard coming
from the Jail accompanied by shrieks of
$ Murder! murder!" The prisoners
locked up in the cells were frightened,
not without cause, and uttered these
startling cries. 1t appears that some
live Goals had been left in tin bucket
near the stove and had burned through
and set the floor on fire in a space the
size OF the bottom of the bucket. A lit.
tie water brought in from the Sheriffs
office put it out at once, though the fumes
raised by the mixed fire and water made
the atmosphere of the cooler ANYTHING
but agreeable as "night.cap" for the
birds behind the bars.
