According to the Neihart Miner. there
are indications Of returning prosperity
to Neihart in the starting up of QUE or
two new mines and increased forces at
some of the Others. The people are Ger
tainly deserving of a better condition of
affairs than We have bad during the
pRst summer and it is TO be hoped that
they are not t, he again disappointed in
their an5icipations. We, however, have
learned by experience not to expect too
much from promises Of activity among
the mines, Ia the past they have proven
deceptive. and while there seems to be a
reasonable assurance Of continuance this
time, we should not build too high.
There have bcna A number Of euCour-
aging happenings among the mines OF
Nethart during The past week. Ono Of
the most important was the starting Of
tho hoist at the Gait, and the consequent
larger force that val he employed there.
Lately only u few men baye been at
Work 90 the upper trVtl9, but II man
d5enIcnt decided 30 enlarge the scale Of
operations, and have set the hoist at
work to pump out the shaft, at least as
far as the 100 foot level, from which

O'Brien tunnel still continues. That
tunnel is now in over 100 feet and in a
very short time they viii be under the
shaft and into the ore.
Good ore has been struck on the lower
tunnel Of the ~Broadwatcr and it is likely
that about the first Of the month
the force at work there will be
considerably increased and more ore
shipped. 1he shaft being sunk from
the second tunnel is now down $50 feet
and there is 40 feet further to go.
Work on an upraisc from the lower tun-
nels to meet this will Don be com,
menccd. Altogether, the outlook at the
Broadwater is very favorable, both fol
the owners and the town Of Ncihart.
During the past week the Nevada
shipped Il car Of ore, and has already
got part Of another ready for shipment.
There is only a small force at work at
this mine at present in charge of j. G.
Wells, but should this shipment prove
as profitable as is expected the force
willb increased and the Nevada become
a regular shipper.
