MINING AT DEPTH.
Some Important Facts Con.
cerning Deep Mining
Might Apply to
This District.

j. II. Curle, an engineer of un-
questioned authority, in the last
issue of the Mining and Scientific
Press, brings to the attention of
the mining world some interesting
and important facts concerning
deep mining. Mr.. Curle tells of
the cutting of ore in the Cham
pion Reef mine, Mysore goldfield
by a vertical shaft 2,405 feet deep,
100 feet below any existing work
ings. He also points out that the
Ell Oro mine in Mexico has be-
come rejuvinated by the discovery
of rich sulphide ore at 1000 feet,
after an interval of acute impov-
erishment below 400 feet, where
the oxide ores had disappeared.
In other words, the operators sank
600 feet through barren ground
after their ore played ou," and
were rewarded by a rich sulphide
strike.
There is encouragement in this
for the miners and prospectors of
this district who sink 90 or rs feet
and quit because the ground "ain't
no good" If deep mining is ever
prosecuted around here, this will
prove to be a wonderful district.
This has been frankly admitted by
numerous mining men.

Tax on Patented
Mines.

A few days ago County Clerk
Ryan and Assessor Henrichs of
Virginia City went to Carson to
interview Attorney General Stod-
dord regarding bis construction of
til law taxing patented mines and
he sent a written opinion to the
effect that all patented mines of
500 acres or less must be assessed
at $500. Over so acres, the ASSESS
ment will be SO per acre. Under
the new law any one doing 500
worth of work on a patented claim
duriag the year will be exempt
from taxation.

N. c. Train Ditched

The train bound for Austin
went into the ditch last Friday,
short distance the other side of the
canyon and about 40 miles from
Austin, and that no one was in
jured is indeed, a miracle. The
train was running along at its
usual rate of speed when the tend
er jumped the track. Engineer
Treat Immediately shut off the
steam and applied the air brake,
when over went his engine. Fire
man Hinman was thrown out of
the cab window ON his side of the
engine and escaped without
scratch. Mr.. Treat went over with
the engine and that he was not
killed or badly mained is beyond
comprehension, and he escaped
with a few minor bruises and sew
eral blisters on his fingers caused
by his hand coming in contact
with steam pipe in getting out of
the wreckage. When the engine
turned over some of the steam
fixtures were broken and the air
was full of escaping steam. The
car coupled to the tender was tele-
scoped and the three adjoining
cars we're ditched, one freight car
and the coach remaining on the
track.
The engine, excepting the boil
er, was new throughout and came
from the shops Wednesday, it is
owing to the cab being new and
we'll braced that kept the tender
from pinning Mr.. Treat in the cab.
The passengers in the coach
didn't know that they were in
wreck until they left the car to
find out why the train had stopped
