Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1907-08-03


Comstock Mining Company has com.
menced shipping high-grade ore.
Let it be understood that this does
not mean one or two carloads of care
fully selected stuff, that is beng sent
out for the looks of things, but is the
commencement of continuous ship
ments, to be forwarded monthly, and
for the purpose of brining steady pront
10 this decidedly choice property.
The first big wagon load was start
ed wlthou: any particular demonstra-
ton, the team having brought in a
! load of mining timbers and left the
/ following morning with full load Of
ore and since then has been maxins
regular tr.ps. Things just started Oh
/ in regular business-like fashion and
from now on the wagon road be-
tween here and Apache, the shipping
point, will be the scene of daily trips
by the big FIRE ght teams.
There is big reserve to start on.
Several carloads of high grade ore
are piled in the drifts and crosscuts
OF the mine. On top, before hauling
commencal, another big bunch Of
sacks was stacked up. To keep the
supply going miners are stopping out
ore between the levels and others are
drifting on the big pay shoot, eve:r
days work exposing few feet mo- e
OF the six-foot vein, the entire width
OF which is beng put in sacks tor
shipment.
At the present time drifting on tie
hanging wall vein has been done for
over $50 feet on levels two and three
and the ore taken out is the source
of the large supply already on hand.
Except for a little Stopping that has
been done the last few days, the i'm
mense quantity blocked out has hard
ly been touched. 1t is easy to &c
that the company has enough ship
