dated the high grade ledge that was
encountered on the 100 foot level had
beeu cut and that assays in the bot
tom of the shaft showed values as
high as s60,CoO to the ton.
This strike simply means that this
high grade ledge is now proved to ex-
list from the IS foot level to the 100-
foot level and that the mine may be-
come one OF the richest in the entire
state.
The bringing in of this piece of
news caused 30 little excitement ans
ong those interested in the camp and
3lay fully hundred people have
left this city for the camp. Several
auto loads left here this morning and

STURDISON
COMS1OCk
Has Great aith In the
uture Of the Old
Lode

In(an. interview in the ssn Fran
cisco Recorder, E. B. Sturgis, who has
become a prominent factor in Com-
stock af-sirs, hal the following to- say
regarding the mines:
For the last ten years l have been
the largest individual stockholder in
the three companies named and a
large holder Of shares in many Of the
other Comstocks. I have never pur-
chased any other mining stocks and
never intend TO-. Aseple of my rea-
tyes when | was a. boy made consid-
cradle money out of the Comstocks,
and | have also been a buyer of
those properties rather than any 9TH
er.
Leon Hall. engineer of the Ward
Shaft Association. has told me that
more than one fourth of the ledses
which yielded the $500, 900 900 of the
Comstocks during their entire life
base been explored If this is true
hsrs femains MANY rsillons hmore to
be taken out. | hope that I will live
to receive some of the big dividends
which l am firmly convinced still re
main to be paid son. Corh4ock mines,
but if not, at least my heirs Will have
a gDod chance of getting them
Il believe that if we go after the
ore with the same expenditure of
money and the same energy and intel :
ligence as is used in going after coal
we will begin to show results within a
short time. If they are now able to
produce a hundred cars of ore from
the Ophir. think that with the jud-
sicious. expenditure of more money we
will Degin to pay dividends before six
months. The immense ore body
which is being developed in the Ophil
should make it one of the best prop
critics in Nevada. if not as great a:
was in the great days of the Com
stocks.
81 have been asked by courtesy o
the present management to place
representative on the boards nance
and this has been done. | have n
criticisms to make Of the presen
! management, but do believe tina
with the expenditure of more none
we will get greater results and &c
X them quicker. If it is necessary le
u us have assessments until we ca
. either determine wheth he mine
are good or not. If not. the thing t
do is to close them up If the report
Il of the engineers are true, howeve
10 there is no doubt that there are sti
pletny of millions to be taken out
the Comstocks.
81 have been so busy coal minir
had little time to .evote to the, Con
stocks. but now intend to take /;
active interest In their developme
through my son.
The Recorder further says:
On authoritative information fur
ished "The Recorder" it is now e
tablished that r. B. Sturgis has CO
troll of four of the big Comstock min
the Ophir, Mexican, Con. Virginia al
BIS last :cquisitiOn. the Crown Poll
IT is probable at the next meeti
tliaat he will have a representa-
on the directorate of the latter col
pany. There is rumor in the
that a big merger Of the Comsto
interests is in the process of formi
and that they VIII eventually ps
into the hands Of group of capt.;
lists who will control them from
\ central organization.
