meats of every description and eggs
cooked in numerous ways, rs well as a

The prices charged are moderate, con-

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

the value to health of the pure liquid

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and

LOCAL MINING PARAGRAPHS.

Develop. ut OF Gre on the Con
Cal & Virginia 1900 Level a
| Certainty.
| The work of reopening the north
east drift on the 1000 level of the
Best & Belcher to meet the Ru e
| drift ON the same level of the Con
solidated California e Virginia, is
progressing favorablv. A well
known Comstock superintendent
said yesterday that there is no doubt
about the explorations on the 1000
level of the latter mine resulting in
an important ore development. MIR.
Rule has four months left in which
to complete his contract, and that he
will develop an ore body, before that
time, is considered foregone cons
clusion, but what the extent of value
Of it may be is merely a conjecture.
The same authority says that the
next movement, after the air con
uection is made, viii be to run a
west crosscut from the southwest
lateral drift and the ore body to be
developed will be exposed in running
that crosscut. This statement TALES
with that made by the Enterprise
when the operations were first begun
on the 1000 level that the ore is 10
Gated west of the southwest drift,
which Is being opened merely as a
base of operations.
Explorations i'll the north end OF
the Consolidated California d Nir-
GINA below the 1850 level, are being
advanced in new ground and the
official letter of Superintendent Ly-
man last week shows an increase i'll
the amount of ore extracted. The
ore discovery of 1886 was made ID
the vicinity of present operations,
which were suspended early in 1887

ton of the drift timbering, maxim
