UNCOVER RICH ROCK.
Important Strike Is Made on the Great
Bend Property.


GOLDFIELD, Sept. 1s.-An important
strike is reported in the company shaft
on the Great Bend property, just north
of the town of Diamondield. 1t con-
sists of high grade body of sulphide
ore, which was encountered at 300
feet, and of which a crosscut discloses
eight feet. This is on the same ledge
on which is located the Detch- Brewer
lease on the Daisy, in which extremely
rich oxidized rock was opened in
winze thirty feet below the ninety-foot
level The crosscut from the new shaft
on this lease, which is seventy-fiye feet
lower than the old shaft, was nearing
the ledge when orders came to close
down the mines. Work was resumed
recently. and the driving of a very few
shifts should carry the drift into the
ledge.
The shaft in the Krise lease on the
Daisy, which lies close to the end line
of the Great Bend, has struck the ledge
earlier than the management expected.
and assay returns show 1876 to the
ton. It was hoped that a greater depth
would be attained before the ledge was
penetrated. as sinking in the oxidized
quartz is slow work, but the grade of
ore encountered will reconcile the
lessees to the added difficulties.
PIPE LINE TO vALCALDA.
SILVER PEAK, Sept. 1S.-At the VAL
calda mine of this camp, recent work
has been most satisfactory. A good
body of ore has been opened up in the

stripped for distance of over 200 feet
The superintendent of the mine states
that In one of the cross cuts there is
forty-foot shoot of ore that Yields
an average assay of $50 ton. The pine
line for the conduct of water to the
mine has been completed for six miles
of its length. so far as the ditch is
concerned, and the pipe Is being put
into place with great rapidity.

ROUND MOUNTAIN, Sept. 1s.-The
superintendent of the Round Mountain
cahiil Mining Company of this camp
