NOTES FROM RAMSEY
The Strike in the Ramsey Comstock
Holds out and Improves
With Depth


RAMSEY, May 10.-The visit OF t.
H. H. Clark and his good opinion of k
the Ramsey district has stimulated \
deyelopments here an dthe town con- :,
tinues to grow. The find in the Ram

The third level at the mine is we'll 6

progress at the famous mine will be +
closely watched and there is good
indication that mining sensation will
develop comparable to anything yet
heard OF in New Nevada. AS stated
in last weeks issue, depth in the
shaft has reached much greater
naturalization of the formation they

and will on this new level prove a
greater and riched body of ore than

tance to drive TO catch the high grade
:, chute, which is over 7 feet wide on
the second level. The three shifts

however, and their efforts will be
given every advantage. Every day
promises something good for this new
level. Already the ore is producing
. much higher values than similar
strata on the level above and a mur

around over the substantial results
so far obtained.
Of course the big pay chute is tn,

to get it bigger and better than ever
