RENO, Neb, June s.-By the Fourth OF
July all the mines on the Comstock lode VIII
be running again for the first time In h1teeh
years. BY that time the lower levels OF the
Consolidated California and Virginia mine
will be unwatered. and 1t IL expected that
good paying ore will be found on the lower
levels. In nearly all the old mines electric
hoists have been put In and the mines are all
using electric power. which will greatly
lessen the expenses of operating. The most
favorable showing Is made In Utah. occi-
dental, Potosi. Chollar and Mexican, II is
now fifteen years since small bonanza was
found in Consolidated California and Nlr-
eina which yielded 100000 and which
carried the stock from u TO $50 a share. None
OF the Comstocks is now quoted over $780,
but the finding OF good ore in any OF the mines
mentioned would advance the whole list,

the ore averages 500 to the ton. The ore is
carried fourteen miles to the Colorado River
on the company's narrow gauge road. The
whole searchiRht district is booming. as the
ore assays we'll and mining expenses are
light.
From Tonopah the reports show that de-
velopment work Is being carried on actively
in all the mines. Several strikes are snid to
have taken pla ce in the Gold Mountain district.
The Montana Ton pah is working on large
body OF high-grade ore. and 1t will soon be in
condition to pay dividends. The strikes
in Belmont and Midway also show that those
two mines are In good mineral territory. The
trouble with Tonopah now Is the high price
for water and fuel and the great expense OF
shipping ore to smelters. When water is
cheap and electric power cnn be used thou

500 to the ton will be mlled. This ore is
