BIG MINE ENTERPRISE.
There was on exhibition at the feed
store OF Cox & Curtis, yesterday, says
the Riverside Enterprise, good sized
piece of quartz rock from the Gold Hill
mine, in the Panamint range, Inyo
county, owned by Mr.. w. A. Hoyt, of
this city, and Mr.. r. B. Taylor, of South

was taken from an 18.foot ledge that
assays SIG to the ton, and the company
now has 400 tons of ore on the dump
ready Tor the mill.
Another company Of Riverside gentle
men have a claim adjoining the mine
above mentioned, and judging from the
specimens we were shown, which were
rich, we Judge that both companies have
the biggest kind Of bonanza in their
mines.

The Tombstone CA. T.) Prospector
says: On the Comet drifting north
and south on the huge ledge continues
on the 400 level. The main working
shaft, which is down to the 400, with a
2O-foot dump, is connected with the old
incline on this level by a 28-foot cross
cut to the east, giving good ventilation
for extensive development.
