RAMSEY MINES
WONDERFUL OUTPUT

Present operations of the Ramsey
Comstock mine is being confined to
most part to the lower level. Above
that part of the mine a great amount
of drifting and blocking out has been
already done, which has exposed an
immense quantity of both high grade
and what is considered milling ore.
The high grade products run from
$40 up, while what is placed Oh the
dumps as milling grade runs from
$50 up to $40 per ton, and averages
about $45 per ton in gold.
For the purpose of further extend
ing the ore reserves and to get IN
readiness for much greater monthly
production than formerly, the COM
pany is at present engaged in driving
long drifts both ways on the ledge.
The work is surely proving up the
great ledge at its greatest exposed
position. With every shifts end there
is in sight a drift full of rich ore and
every day more high grade is accum-
ulating on the dumps, the pile of
which is beginning to assume very
large proportions, now that the ship
ments have been temporarily sus-
pended.

way no delay need occur because of
delayed freight arrivals. All this
preparation for future activity makes
1t appear that where a property is
genuinely rich, as this one is, no sort
of slump will prevent men from GO
ing ahead and extracting the rock
that possesses the gold.
While the smelter conditions have
stopped the regular from
shipments, it has brought about re-
newed energy on the part of the
Ramsey-Comstock owners for the in
stallation of their own reduction
plant. 1t has merely put this mat
ter ahead, and 1t will not be long be-
fore plans and specifications will be
in the hands of the management for
a stamp mill that will crush the ore
as it is taken from the mine. A mill
under operation at that property will
place II second to none of the gold
bearing mines of the State and will
forever free it from the exactions OF
the smelter trust.
The future of the Ramsey-Com-
stock mine is assuredly most bright.
When the present difficulties have
long been past history, the great
bodies of ore being extracted from
the workings of that property will be
steadily producing shining bricks OF
gold bullion.-Ramsey Recorder.
