Ramsey, April, 7th.
| To the Editor of the Appeal: 1.-The
people of Ramsey recognize the fact|
| that the Appeal is giving consider
able space to this camp and they
gave your correspondent every facil
ity of examing the recent strikes.
Ramsey will become one of the great
est mining camps of Nevada.
The strikes are genuine and in
stead of being low grade camp as
nearly all the experts predicted it is
going to be a high grade camp like

| Development is fast bringing to the
| front the genuine worth OF the New
/ Comstock property, located about one
/ mile east of the town and on the
! big trend between the old Garavanta
mine and the Bennett group, property
OF the Ramsey Bonanza company. So
far the New COmstOck company has
confined exploration to big working
tunnel, now in 120 feet. They are
going considerable depth, enough SO
the breast is showing fine body OF
ore carrying sulphides, which return
big values. 1t was the intention to
start a crOscut at the present breast,
ther open up the depth in the sui
phide zone it is determined to con-
tinue another 80 feet To crosscut
| that dixie is more of an undertaking 8
than is readily recognized. The
breast of the tunnel will be some
where near the middle of the huge
ledge, probably a little east of the
> middle and when the crOsscut is fiE
ally made complete to either wall
there will be cut somewhere be
tween 500 and 700 feet. The mine
is on the mother lode of the district
extending four miles and can be
readily followed, accompanied by tbs
