BOOM. IMMINENT
ON THE COMSTOCK
Big Strike in the Ophir
Advances Stock to $3.50
The East 1900 Level Shows Up Body
Of Rich Ore That Promises
Great Results.

If all the reports coming from Vir-
ginia City are true, the Comstock is
the virgo of a boom that will be
a forcible reminder OF the days of the
seventies. For some time past the
management Of the Ophir has been
on a still hunt in the 1900 level for
the rich shoot of ore which passed
through and was finally lost in the
Con. Virginia a little above that
depth and was supposed to have
meandered off into the Ophir ground.
Last week it was struck, and as soon
as the news became public the price
of the company's stock advanced
from 80 cents to SO; then steadily
increased to $50, where it now
stands, and at that figure it is hard
ly o~btainable.
The strike has had a wonderful
effect on the commercial conditions
of Virginia and an incipient boom is
forming. Business is picking up,
everybody wears a smile, and money
is becoming plentiful for all stock
purposes. The stocks of the mines
contiguous to the Ophir are profit
ing by the strike, and have gone up
from 20 and 80 cents to so and So.
The superintendent report of the
discovery in the Ophir and published
in late Virginia papers, is as follows:
"The northeast drift on the 1900
foot level following the ore vein was
ten feet during the week, making its
total length 287 feet. 1t is now con-
siderably wider and its assay value
much higher than at any time since
we first encountered the good ore in
the vein, 142 feet south of the present
face of the drift. This very favor
able change necessitated the widen
ing of this drift as we advanced, dur
ing the week. We are preparing tc
put in square sets Of timbers neal
the face of this drift. In the stopt
over this drift we worked on the I'd
Sd and 4th floors in ore of excellenr
grade and increasing width. From
these openings we extracted 90
cars of + assaying $40, Is per ton.

Banana Crops Come Often.

Mexican Herald: There is evident
~ an erroneous idea abroad concerning
the harvesting of the banana crop"
said Edward M. Watson, who has been
for seven years on Il plantation in
Honduras.
The statement that four or five crops
of bananas are harvested year is in
tirely Incorrect A crop is harvested
on an average OF every fifteen days
throughout the year. Each thrifty
banana plant has many suckers or
stalks growing from single root at
the same time. One or more punches
of the ripening fruit is cut from a
single stalk, while the other stalks
growing from the same root are left
untouched. and in another FIFTEEN days
another of the stalks is shorn If its
fruit. This process continues inces-
sanity during the year. In July and
August 1t is necessary to cut off the
ripening punches every ten days, while
in December and January about once a
month is sufficient. the average
throughout the year being practically
fifteen days"
