A Check to Deep Mining.

Z Mining and Scientific Press Dec. 6
For long time explorations have
been going on at very greal depths
on the Comstock, without any re-
munerative results, though work has
been continued with the hope Of
finally finding something of value.
Several companies joined together
to work q deep winze at the depth of
$500 feet in the Mexican, and from
that depth diamond drill holes have
been run in every direction for about
5OJ feet, but nothing of any value
was found. In case there had been,
1t would have encouraged all the
other companies to prospect at those
depths, and great interest has there
fore been felt In the prospecting oper-
ations at that point. We have chron-
icled the progress of the work from
week to week in our Mining sum-
mary"
1t is stated that on Wednesday
evening OF this week, at the Union
Mining Company's Office in this
city, meetings were held of the
Union Con-, Sierra Nevada, Mexican
and Ophir Mining Companies, and
the Con. California and Virginia, q
resolution was passed to abandon for
the present, if not finally. all that
portion of the works below the 27OO-
foot level of the above named mines.
The pumps below the 210itfoot level
are driven by compressed air-a very
operation. In the Ophir,
Sierra Nevada and Union, the depth
of explorations has reached the 3lOO
level, from which point the diamond
drill mas searched in every point of
the compass, and nothing found. 1t
Is determined, at present, to fully ex-
plore the 27OO-level and oil the i'm
mense stretches of virgin gronnd
above that level. ,... 3
This will be bad news to the Com
stock miners as matter Of course
and q matter of encouragement to
The owners a. we'll. But after ex-
Tended time and much expenditure
they have come to the resolution re-
ferred to. Now they will come up .
little and prospect from levels not 80
1eep. There Is plenty of ground for
them to prospect as it is.

The Water Supply.

"Notice" in another column
Mr.. Blaine, agent Of the Silver Bow
Water Co., requests parties who use
water from the city hydrants to be as
economical as possible. The long
continued dry and cold weather has
diminished the water supply and II
is only by outstanding the water re-
sources of the company that the pres
ent supply is kept up. Should the
present weather continue much
longer it is doubtful whether the
company can supply the full wants
of patrons. The absolute necessity
therefore, of consumers ecOnomizing
in the use of water is too apparent to
require further comment.
