WATER FOR HoRNs1LvER

Water for Hornsilver- water in or
very near the seems to be an as.
sured proposition.
During the past week, A. }. Black
burn has persisted in the work on his
claim two miles from town, and now
has a steady flow of water.
Two weeks ago, in a crosseut from
an incline shaft 20 feet deep, in a
qualification carrying clay, an exees-
sive moisture was encountered. The
following week a drift was run west
ward about fifteen feet when a round
OF shots liberated water, which dripped
and oozed at a considerable rate.
This drift was continued some dis
lance further until a positive, steady
flow of water was developed.
The stream is small but constant. 1t
m from the vein and disappears in
the stratiied slate which forms one of
the walls. = Herald.

HOW A coMsTocK
BONANZA WAS FOUND

The following dramatic account of
the finding of a Cemstock ore shoot oc-
ours in "The Tale of Silver:n
"And now Fair gained his fortune
clew. Working among his men in bar
rem rock his keen eye discovered n mar.
row seam of rich ore no thicker than a
knife blade. They followed it day by
day, night by night, with bun dog ten
aeity, hundreds of feet into the bowels
of the earth; followed il when their
only clcw was a film of clay; followed
it until it began to widen out. till it
reached the dimensions of a seven-foot
vein, averaging 500 per ton. At a depth
of 1,167 feet the ore body widened to
forty feet. In October they were in a
bonanza. Probably the richest hoard of
precious metal ever known in the his
tory of the world had been found by
following an almost invisible streak of
clay. The capital stock of the Consol-
idated Virginia was increased to l0s,-
900 shares. 1t sold at $45 per share.
In November, 1874, it sold at $1l5; in
December at 500, and in January i'm
mediately following at 500 per share,
making a mine valued at $4,000 when
Mackay acquired control, worth $751;,
240, 600; 1910 feet of the California
Lode valued five years before at $5o,-
900, was now by market quotations,
worth, $3.50, 000, 900. Silver was found
in this bonanza in the most strange and
beautiful forms; sometimes in coils of
wire, sometimes in silver crystals,
sometimes in punches and clusters Of
purest silver"

COLoRED PEOPLE CELEBRATE
EMANCIPATION DAY

The colored people of Goldfeld as
sembled in large numbers at the Park
on Tuesday and held the first eelebra-
tion in Goldfeld of Emancipation day.
Many of the colored race came over
from Tonopah, and a number of whites
from Goldfeld showed their interest by
participating in the festivities of the
day.
w. C. Mcfarland, one of the most in
telligent and cultured members of the
colored race in the state, was chairman
of the committee and the exercises of
the day were conducted under his man
agement, with able assistants. There
was a barbecue, base ball and good
music and speaking. The speaking was
to have taken place in the afternoon,
but was changed to night, which pre-
vented Charles s. Sprague from speak
ing as other engagements interfered.
But Col. III. b. Maxson and Senator II.
B. Morehouse, delivered appropriate adj
dresses. which were enthusiastically re-
ceived.
Altogether the celebration was one of
which every participant and every
colored resident might be proud.

wages.
Interested with Mr.. Davis in this
property are George wingfeld, Superin-
tendent Shewin of the Combination
mill, William Harper, JAS. f. Keelyn,
r. l.. Hubbard and L.. V. May, a New
York broker, the principal owner of the
Great Mogul mine, ten miles north of
Tonopah. Mr.. May will place a large
block of stock in New York to raise
money for developing the property.
Mr.. Davis examined the Rawhide
Daisy, which is down 1870 feet and will
be sunk to 200, where a erosseut will
be run to the ledge and open up the
body of ore shown in the shaft, which
assays from s2s to s35. A twenty horse
power hoist has been installed on the
property. Shipping ore is now being
taken out on the Jordan lease 400 feet
away. Everything is humming in Raw

Woodward informed a rep. resentative of the Silver Belt that de- avelopment work on the 500; foot level of the Fumarole had practically proven an area l4Oxi20 feet to carry gold values running from about $4.50 to over s2a per ton. The winze in the east drift is down 25 feet in one going about $l5 in gold per ton. Thorough tests are to be made on carload lots of the ore to de- termine the best method for the recov. cry of the gold, before any steps are taken for the erection of reduction works. Meanwhile development work will proceed. The station at tue 500 Foot level ofythe shaft will soon be com pleted and pumps will be installed to take care of the water, which is net in sufficient volume to be troublesome
 The National company s copper mine, the Iron Cap, in this district, has shown Considerable improvement. Drifting from the bottom of the l04 foot winze below the 450-foot level, has been in progress for ten days with encouraging results. L,dst week a crosseut at that depth disclosed 20 feet of well miner, alized ground in the ledge and buncles of very good ore. Development at that point will be continued and the winze will probably be sunk deeper.
