STOCKTON Hill, Sept. "a, 1883.
To one who has been about for a few
days everything seems In state Of
activity. On Monday afternoon Supt.
X. Mackenzie returned, accompanied by
his estimable lady. About the first thing
Johnny seen as he drove by the hosting
works was two car loads Of that rich ruby
silver ore for which the Cupel is noted
and which had been extracted by that
veteran miner, Mike Daily, foreman Of the
Cupel. / took trip through the ore
house and found another car load ready
for the "sorter's" hammer, much OF 1t
being blocks OF steel-galena, needing only
breaking up and no asserting. Only q
few years ago J. X. Mac, worked forty-
four men with only "whip" TO hoist.
Now that he has steam there is no telling
the number that will be at work, provided
the ore body does not recede. This body
was found by foreman DAILY while pros
pecting, and as il Is in the foot wall and
assumes more vertical position than the
shaft, II is safe 10 say there is q bonanza
there which time and development alone
can determine.
Over at the Flores Mr.. Joseph w.
Morgan has completed his contract Of
fifty.foot Wine with fjfty-ioot drifts each
way. Joe has had number Of contracts
bereabouts and has concluded to try his
hand for himself. The writer knew Joe
in Nevada when he carried 10000 shares
OF the North Carson in his pocket and his
check was good for 10000. Joe says we
have mines IL we only work them, and /
believe he is right. At any rate he con-
eludes this is a good camp for man to
retrieve his lost fortunes.
At the Night Hawk Supt. Bowers has
granted new lease to the Oliver Bros.
This lease calls for all the ground they
can work out between now aud January
!, 1889. They have already cut into the
hanging wall for a windlass and pump
sight, leaving only room for the car in
the main tunnel. This new lease is in
the bottom, Immediately under the raise
from which was taken the last shipment
OF rich ore. OF course there will be water
TO contend with, but they are confident OF
fstriking the ledge at depth Of twelve or
sixteen feet, and il the ore is OF the
former grade they are paid for years
work by what they can see.
At the Lone Star Messrs. Thompson,
Davis and Popbam are driving away on q
small streak Of high grade ore, and still
hope to strike IL at point where 1t
wideus: but u the ore is high grade they
are doing as well as any Of the chloriders
hereabouts, and but for the fact that they
have had to put twenty new flues in the
boiler they would have had shipment of
ore ere this. AS soon as the twenty flues
had been put in place 1t was discovered
the remaining seventeen were Of no
account hence new set all around, and
during this the mine flooded, but few
days steam will drain it. '%'...-
ALI the miners seem pleased to again
have the sampling Works under the con-
troll Of the assays OF John j. Lynch.
Everyone has the greatest confidence in
Mr.. Lynch, and Of all the assayers here
tofore employed in the works, Mr.. Lynch
has received as few "damns,' as any Of
them.
Out at the q. 0. ID. they are working a
good force OF men on the old reliable
streak, which never fails to produce the
usual quantity of good ore. That mine is
a fixture and needs no comment further
than that it "has not shut down"
/ cannot close without o word polite.
Since the Denis have nominated their
ticket OF course those 50 inclined have
expressed themselves. There are some
excellent nominations on the ticket and
some men who will run like prairie
fire, and as an old Hassayarnper said,
"Verily, ungratcfulness is treason to
God" The latter expression will be un-
dcrstood by miners. OBSERVER.
