Inasmnch as the Brunswick lode is

est is now shown in the written re-
ports which have ar various time been
made on that mining property by
mining experts. That it has long
been known as a valuable property Is
evident from the report of Bowie and
Hodges. who carefully examined every
claim on the lode, made in August.

abounds in technical terms and fgur-
ers and treats Of each claim seper-

is even more pronounced in favor of
the property He SAYS: Tho Com
stock itself does not show more prom
inent or more promising outcrons than
this great east vein" He adds:
No vein in Western Nevada is Of
greater promise and in no other
place can money be expended in pros
pecting with more probability Of de-
velopng valuable mining property.
On the lode there is room for a dozen
first class mines. and it is by no
means improbable that at no very dis
tant dav the Brunswick lode will he a
scene Of as great mining activity as
the Comstock. There is in it posi-
hilities that should not be overlooked,
and the only wonder is that it has
been permitted to lie undeveloped for
so many years"

THE BRUNSWICK LODE.
II is Proposed to Thoroughly
Cevelope it.

| For many years past there has beer
talk Of developing the Brunswick
Lode. The big companies propose t
jointly acquire title aud develope i

Tho ground lies about mile East
| Of the celebrated Comstock and has
1.-THE distinguishing features Of that
bonanza. In past years, however. the
ground was not extensively worked
because of too much water, but the
Sutro tunnel passed through and
drained the vein and at the present
time notrouble from that cause is an
ticipated.
The POI ton Of the lode which the
Comstock companies propose to ac-
puire lies between rhe Monte Christie
mine on the North. which Judge Hey.
lenfeldt in his life time considered
the greatest theasure. house on earth,
and the Occidental mines on the
South, which are now working and
paving.
The lode is cut by the Sutro tunnel
at n depth Of over 1900 on the vertical
or about 1900 on the dip of the vein.
On the level of the tunnel it shows a
width Of l13 feet in pay ore, and az on
the Comstdck ledge the great bonanza
was encountered above this level, and
it is believed that crest bodies Of rich
ore lie concealed in this enormous
fissure. Che ontcroppings on the sur
face are remarkably rich and strong.
The statement is made that pay ore is
reached almost at the grass roots.
On the surface but little work has
ever been done on the Brunswick lode.
The Monte Christie mines have only
reached the trifiing depth Of $50 feet
That Of the ST John is even less, and
vet large amounts Of gold and silver
have been taken from these mines. 1t
is impossible TO state the amount of
bullion that has been taken from the
these mines rs there has been no Off
cial record kept Of the output during
the years when the production was
largest. Messrs Craven and Wrin-
