BULLION YIELD OF COMSTOCk
May Require Seven Figures to Express
the Amount.

The total bulk assay value of the
ore product of the COmstOck mines
last week was over 1926 20. OF this
fatal Con. Cal and Va produced S.
0424S; Silver Hill $2,64O; Ophir $5O6 Y
Justice ST. This is a very good show
ing for an off week the average weekly
ore yield being about $4,000. The av
erage will soon be augmented by the
resumption of ore extraction in the
Calendonia, where there is a large
area of pay value ore exposed and the
output may be further increased by
an early date through the New York,
Con. Occidental, Daney tunnel and
Utah falling into line as ore prOduc-
ers. From the present favorable out
look the bullion yield of the old lode
next year will require seven numerals
to express it.
During the past three years the an
nual bullion yield of the Con. Cal. and
Va mine has averaged about $500, 900
and the outlook is decidedly encourag-
ing for that amount being doubled
or trebled when the submerged levels
below the 215O are recovered to ad-
init of thorough exploration. Last year
the Silver Hill produced gold bullion
to the value of $4,000 from 3,67S
tons of ore an average value of ABOUT
S21 rs a ton. During the year $751;
200 was distributed as dividends. A
resolution highly compiimenting Sup
erintendent A. c. Kyle for his able man
agement of the company's property
was unanimously passed at the annual
meeting of the stockholders. The out

GRAIN WITHOUT ,as,oAr,on.
Considerable Produced RI .Ormsby
3 This Season.

The experiment of raising grain In
this valley without irrigation is being
given thorough tryout this season.
Several acres of winter wheat were
planted last fall and as result grain
OF a very good quality is maturing.
Probably the Winnie ranch offers
the best example of this industry.
Last winter or late in the fall about
twenty acres was planted to wheat
The heavy winter probably helped the
grain along as this season there is
q splendid stand of ripening wheat
on the field. The grain that has ma
tured is full and cannot be beat on
irrigated plats. This season has been
unusually dry, no rain having visited
this valley during the summer months
yet in spite of this fact the Winnie
grain is looking excellent and the
threshers will find a job awaiting
them.
The same plot of land has been
planted to winter grain on a number
OF occasions and in each instance
the ground has produced well.
At the Little ranch the same con-
dition exists. Grain that was plant,
ed in the early spring is ripening and
considerable will be cut. These two
ranches are devoid Of water for irrigat
ION purposes and depend largely on
the early showers of the spring to start
the grain. With this evidence before
, the people it is wonder that more
attention is not paid to grain raising
In this valley. The market is always
ready to buy all the wheat that can
in Carson Valley manufacture from
grain that comes from foreign lands
California furnishes most of the grain
that is used in milling in Nevada
as the farmers find more profit il

ground that has produced grain this
season Woulu uIe OUT from me Iach

given as a benefit for A. d. King, a

bound to be a popular affair as the

PLENTY OF FLOAT.
The voltair District Covered with

Henry Detereich has a number of
specimens of float rock on exhibition
that in any other country on earth
would attract attention. The float is
in the form of large powders and
came from the Voltair district. 1t is
rich in chloride and assays show sew
eral hundred ounces in silver. This
float was picked up on the ground near
the Chloride Queen and is only one
sample Of the many that have been
taken from that section.
For years prospectors have return
ed to this city with specimen pieces of
rock from the voltair district. In
every instance the rock has returned
rich assays but there has never as
yet been uncovered a real ledge. Sew.
eral cars of ore have been sold from
the district annd the want of cash has
prevented the proper turning over
Of the ground to find what is certain
to be there. The float does not grow

Since the work of constructing the
Lucin Cutoff began storms have caus-

ing timber valued at thousands of dol

OF the timber is in the shape of square
sawed piles, varying from so to IS
feet in length. Carloads of the ma

The timber is lost in this manner.
1t is hauled out to the end of the
finished portion of the track from Og-

is called blooms or corrals", prepar-
ed especially to prevent the timbe...
drifting away. Then the biz timbers
are chained to gether "a the form of
RATS and tug le.unch lows it to the
pile drivers. In this manner great
quantities of the wood can be moved
by one boat. Squalls are of almost
daily ocurance on the lake and often
when tug is on it's way to the pile
drivers it is caught in a storm When
it does the raft of timber is tossed
about by the waves until it is broken
to pieces. Then the logs are scatter
ed and washed to the four points of the
compass by the water In this man

Not less than 1000 sticks of piling
