A Rich Strike.

exceedingly rich strike had been made
at Sweetwater, In the California Com.
stock, mine that has been prospected.
quietly for several months past. Par
ties interested were anxious to perfect
their titles to some of the adjoining
claims and had kept the strike secret
from the public. The porphyry belto of
Patterson District is about seven miles
long by four miles wide, lying between
the East and West Walker Rivers, and
is on separate or distinct range of
hills-entircly independent of the
Sierrss. The country rock is CON-
posed of dark gray syenite. At the
extreme north end of the belt copper
appears mixed with small percentage
of silver. The California Comstock is
situated about two and one.half miles
west of the Kentuck and on the apex
Of. a-hill, where the shaft was sunk,
the mineral belt is mapped out to the
northward by the North Comstock,
First North Extension, Great Western,
Lookout and Star locations. In the
other direction appears the Huntoon
and Geneva. The shaft of the mine
in question is at an elevation of / 900
feet and was sunk only thiity-fve
feet 1t showed an ore body twenty
five feet wide where 1t was stripped
which averaged an assay Of $50 per
ton of silver with four per cent OF
gold, free milling. A streak of six
feet in width in the same went into the
hundreds. About three feet of debris
was removed in stripping the ledge.
The tunnel is situated about 800 feet
below the shaft, where only eight feet
was run before the same ledge was
encountered. This is what constitutes
the strike, as they have GU, ten feet
into solid free milling ore which will
average according to fair estimate, $40
per ton. The hill is very steep, over
forty.five degrees, and the ledge dips
in such manner that it comes nearly
to the surface where the adit is run.
They have 100 tons of SIS ore on the
dump, and with that Ut inferior grade

Nevada Huhach.

The Phoebe Record says: There
grows upon the hills here plant that,
when powdered up, destroys bugs, flies,
etc, the same as the buhach plant that
is now being extensively cultivated in
California. Several tests of this native
plan! have been made by DR.. &. r.
Alexander. The powder of the Califor.
mia and the native buhach plant are
placed side by side, under separate
glasses, aud flies and different kind of
bugs have been placed under the glass
and the powder acts upon the insects
alike, which goes to prove that both
plants contain the same properties.
The test tf the powder goes to prove
that neither will kill caterplllars,
though the cultivated plant of Califor.
MIA yields a powder that contains a
little more strength than the native
plant on our hills. Our plant is white,
the same color as that which is cult.
waited in California.
The hills west OF town would be a
good place to start growth of this
brush. The prevailing winds would
bring in enough dust to keep the flies
down and house keepers would have
screen doors to sell.

Aurora's Prospects.

Favorable reports still come from
Aurora. The mines now being worked
belong to class which has, until the
last two years, attracted but little
attention. They yield low grade orc
which, in former years was not consid.
cred worth working, but now, with
better appliances and greater expert.
ence, they are being worked probably
and are developing into exceedingly
valusble properties. These mines are
wide, plainly developed lodes, in
which the mineral Is more generally
diffnsed than ii was in the veins here
tofore worked in this district, and, so
far as developed, they gradually yield
greater returns as depth is attained. But
this development, though extending
over a period of something more than
two years, is even yet extremely lin.
tied, owing to the need of capital by
the owners of this particular class of
veins. On none of these mines has
there been any working at a greater
depth than 100 feet, il so deep SIS that.
The lodges have been carefully cross.
cutted and levels run at various
depths. which, although not opening
the mines sufficiently to admit the
working of large force, proves that
at no distant time mining will be car
ried on to a greater extent than ever,
the class of property being such as to
warrant extensive plans and assure a
long continuance of profitable work.
That such is the case, is shown by the
frequent visits of capitalists and the
deep interest they take in the situa
ton. Those we'll able to form cor
rect judgment as to the future are
making estimates as to the the cost of
railway connection of the mines with
large water facilities, where cheap
reduction of the ores can he obtained.
Such project would not be enter.
tanned except with the knowledge OF
many years of production, as the
original cost would be too great to be
justified by the short life Of the ordi
nary mining camp.

A Correction.

A short'time ago, in an issue OF the
BULLETIN, il was said that Seawcll and
Needy had worked some rock from the
New Esmeralda. This was incorrect.
Seawell and Neidy are engaged in
developing the Esmeralda, with a view
of putting ON large force at some
future time. The results so far show
that they will obtain a yield similar
to those OF old times, as their dump
shows ore which runs into the hun
dreds. The New Esmeralda, which is
another mine, distant about five miles,
had some ock worked in small pros
pccting mill, This rock was the
remainder Of lot of ore, a part OF
which was worked at the Silver Hill
mill, aud WAS crushed as 4 test Of
value. The result was satisfactory, as
mentioned IN the previous account.

mine is coming to the front as one of
the best mining properties in Eastern
Nevada. Never in the history of the
