OsceOla.

The SENTINEL has received rather a DIS
couraging letter in regard to Osceola
Our correspondent states that the new
quartz mill has shut down because it has
not proved a success. He says that the
expectation was to get 81 per ton out Of
the ore crushed, whereas the average has
not exceeded So per ton. He states also
that the mines of Osceola show fairly or
top, but don't continue to any considers
BILE depth. On Sunday q SENTINEL re.
porter interviewed Robert Briggs on the
subject. Mr.. Briggs is familiar with the
country and is a reliable gentleman. He
stated that he had not been in Osceola for
some time and was not doing any work
there. II do not know what has been the
result in the mill, but" said he, ''your
correspondent who writes you from
Osceola that the mines of that district are
only ON the surface and do not go down, is
greatly in error, as is fully proved in sew.
eral mines which have been explored to q
depth of 100 feet and more. For in.
stance, the Osceola mine belonging
to the estate of George Blair, de-
deased, is down l25 feet, and the ore is
much better in the bottom drifts thar it is

Age, which has q shaft on it to the depth
Of 20 feet, and the ore steadily increases in
value as depth is attained. The Verde
series Of mines have the same character
%istics. as far as explored, to a depth of 80
feet, an increased value as they go down.
And the same may be said of many other
mines in the district. Without having
any definite knowledge of the cause of the
shutting down of the Osceola Company's
mill, l am inclined to attribute it to the
fact that the gold contained in the ore
cannot be amalgsmsted and saved by COM
mon battery and copper-plate amalgama-
ton. The gold contained in the ore of
that district is covered over with a coating
of oxide of iron, in the nature of a bronze,
aud will not amslgamate with quicksilver
unless some mechanical action is brought
to bear to remove this coating by friction,
and this the company has not, as yet, done.

Nevada Reviewed.

The hope which begins to stir the people
here, is felt elsewhere and will be encour'
aging to those who are still trying to dig
something out Nevada. The Examiners
New Years report says: The enormous
richness of the Comstock lode, which has
already produced over $500, 900, 900 in
bullion, has monopolized the attention Of
miners, but the plausible theory is now
advanced that the whole State is but an
immense bed of mineral ore, whose out
cropping protuberances only have thus
far been discovered. In consequence deer
mining is now being pursued with in.
creased vigor and confident expectations.
There are still hundreds of square miles
where a pick has never been driven.
Nearly all the anthony found on the Pa
ciic slope is obtained from Humboldt
county, Nevada. The annual prodution
is about 200 tons. The State also pos
sesses evidences of nearly all other metals,
including copper, iron, lead, etc. The
Chronicle says the State is bound to grow
agrIculturally, as it has many resources
especially in Washoe county. The cattle
ranges of Nevada have furnished in pas
years a most extensive pasturage for the
vast herds driven there annually, and the
most profitable employments to be found
i'll the State. Last year it grazed nearly
800. 900 cattle.
