viewed the new machinery in operation
at the Longfellow mine. The gasoline

for several weeks and are giving the
best of satisfaction. The two compart-
ment shaft is being sunk with remark
able Roadway and is now down 80 feet.
When the 10O-foot level is reached
prosecuting of the vein will start but
will not retard the work in the shaft
which will be continued to a greater

Jim Flynn, a Tonopah miner, who
has been mining ever since 1876, re-
turned this morning from hex, after a
weeks stay, and says it is the best
mineral showing he has yet had the
privilege Of looking upon. He says the
lowest assay yet obtained from the sur
face Of the lodges is $1s6 and their
general average has been above $500.
He brought in specimens Of rock from
the surface Of a lease which he tool
and says the average from the crop
pings is $3.50. He has had no assay, but
says the rock is exactly like that OF an
adjoining lease which has that average
The ore is lead, silver and gold, most OF
the values being in lead and silver. The
main ledge, he says, is open for $500
feet and nobody would believe what Is
there without seeing it.-Sun.

Considerable excitement is prevalent
at Cobre, the junction point of the Ne
vada Northern and the Southern Pacific,
owing to the discovery Of high grade
silver and copper ore about twelve
miles east Of there, in the Loray min
ing district. A ledge of the red and
white metals ten fee. wide, carrying II
per cent copper and 800 ounces silver,
was uncovered a week ago by Kellough
and Lang on the Lillian group, ut a
depth Of 25 feet. There is every pros
pect that the ledge will widen with
depth. 1t is the opinion Of several min
ing experts who have visited the district
that, with development, the camp will
broaden into a great copper producer.
Work is now going ahead rapidly on
about 25 leases. Shipping ore is found
in many of the location holes.

Hon. Levi Syphus estimates 100000
tons Of rock salt in sight. Rock salt
at Los Angeles sells at $1s per ton,
which would allow a good profit on the
salt on building a railroad down the
Muddy and Virgin to the mine. On the
coast 4OO,0 900 tons Of salt are used an
nually. Liverpool salt brings $50 per

Output for May

The big mill OF. the P%ittsburg Silver
Peak company is doing splendid work
and prinds out a comfortable fortune
every month. The output for May,
while not yet accurately determined,
will be in excess of 100000. This is
on ore the average of which for the
month was 1888 per ton. Conditions
at the mine are very satisfactory and,
since the installment Of the new com
pressor, there is an abundance Of power
for the big drills, Of which there are
ten in operation, and there is no diff
fculty in breaking all the ore needed
for the mill. A plan for extensive de-

So far as Nlr- Hearst is concerned,
the observation that he has until now

policy of reasonably consistent, safe,
and steady progressiYism which adapts
