ON THE COMSTOCK.

various mines on the Comstock:
Con. CAL. & VA. M1NE-165O Ievel-We
nave continued TO slope out ore from the
new ore body from the sixth floor up to
the tenth floor, and the faces Of the Slopes
continue TO look as we'll as usual. In eX-
tending our upraise four feet above the
eleventh floor, we continue to md four
feet of good ore lying against the west or
footwall. We have extracted during the
week from the stopes-slx working days
about 800 tons of ore, the average ASSAY of
which, per mine car samples. was $63 SO
per ton. No work has been done IN tie
Wine during the week. 1850 !evel-Work
is being diligently pushed 10 opening the
way TO connect with the ore body on this
level. Bullion shipped to the Carson
mint-assay value, $43,065 II.
OPHIR-1465 level-The west crOsscut
62 feet up from the upraise carried up 80
feet above the sill floor Of this level at a
point 20 feet in from the mouth of the
crOsscut run east from the main north lat
eral drift and 121 feet north from the main
east crosscut from the shaft, was eX-
tended loo feet, continuing in pOr-
phyry and quartz of low assay value.
We have continued jointly with the
Mexican Company the work of making
repairs in the main shaft on the HOO level
and upward. Central tunnel-The drift

tended "a feet, total length 100 feet; the
last 20 feet, a s measured along the eastsrly
side of the drift, being in good ore. The
whole face OF the drift is in ore which will
average S75 per ton. The drift crosses the
ore somewhat diagonally. as the trend of
the ore is northwest ana southeast, and al
the point where the ore was first cut the
appearances are such as TO justify the eX-
pectation OF making valuable ore devel-
opment in following the ore in a north
westerly direction. We have extracted
from this southwest drift during the week
60 tons of ore which assays on the average
$50 per ton. The Drift running northeast

the top of the upraise III feet above the
tunnel level has been extended 80 feet.

slope above the north lateral drift from
the last drift on the 1000 level. On the
1000 level IN the north lateral drift they
continue to extract ore from toe sill floor
and upward to the seventh floor. The
south drift started from the face Of the
east drift was advanced Is feet, total
length 80 feet; face is in quartz, clay and
pOrphyry. Have started north drift from
the shaft station ana advanced the same

says. On the 1900 level in the south drift
started from the en- st drift 80 feet from the
south ore Slopes ttev are stopping ore of
fair grade. On the HOO level they have
drifted west, following The ore struck in
the upraise distance of 10 feet. During
the week they have hOisted eight cars of
ore. Car samples average $22 80 per ton.

The seam of ore continues of good quality,
but is very narrow. Work was stopped in
this drift portion of tile past week. hav-

100 level - Have been working on the
second floor above this level cutting out
for sets where needed. Also cutting out
for a chute above this level. Work in the
mine was suspended for one day the past
week.
BEST & BELCHER-200 level-Have dis

now getting ready to sink NiuZe Jointly
with the Gould IL Curry Company on our

From the openings above the 700 and 600
levels we have extracted during the past
week 554 tons and 1877 pounds of ore.

reduction. The average battery sample
was S97 II per ton, of which SIS 6S was
