an ore market is provided, make

large production of gold bullion. Not

INT there are thousands of tons OF
milling grade ore that will plate from
ais to $40 per ton gold, exposed in
the workings.
Inst at a time when each weeks
work was producing an increased ore
SIMPLY, it has been necessary to dis
continue shipments, because the ore
purchasers and smelling concerns
served notice that the shipper would
have to wait sixty or ninety days for
his returns. This declaration made
the condition very uncertain and min
ing men declined to take chances.
The Ramsey Comstock company
had forwarded three or four carloads
over to the shipping point, nine miles
east of here. and We're preparing to
inf IT in the cars when the new con-
ditions OF things tr~anspired. This
bile represents just so much money
in reserve for the company treasury
any time II is possible to dispose of
it. 1t will all average more than
800 per ton, and altogether will
bring a tidy sum.
Down in the fourth level of the
mine the rich veins are in evidence,
richer and better than ever. The
character of the ore at this deeper
point is such that more proof is had
Of the permanence of the ore deposits
and a consequent long lived producer.
More Of the rich tellurium has been
found on this level than at any other
point. showing that the deeper they

tremendous bullion production There
is every indication at the present
depth that this property will rival
anything discovered in this state
since the palmy days OF the great
Comstock producers.
In all the Slopes above the fourth
level there Is a quantity Of high gradc
ore ready for extraction that con.
tains a great many thousand doilat'
worth of gold. A visit to the minC
and inspection of the great area O
ore, a lot of which shows seams anS

remembered. 1t makes n thinl

The thing most needed and TIL
