THIRTY YEARS
LEVEL IS RECOVERED
IMMENSE TERRITORY OF VIRGIN
GROUND OPENED UP ON
COMSTOCk LEVELS

The long anticipated and earnestly
strived for recovery of the 2700-foot
level at the northend mines of the
Comstock. has now been practically
accomplished, and all that now re-
mains is the complete draining out
of the ground in all of those prop
critics, says the Chronicle. This
morning, the announcement was
made from. the local office of the Uni
ted Comstock Pumping association
that the water had been lowered to
a point five feet below the floor of
the 27OO station of the old Con. Vir-
ginia winZe, where it is now being
held. Last night men went onto the
station to clean up, the first human
beings to reach that depth at the
northend for the past thirty years.
The staten vas found exactly as it
was left when abandoned so long
ago, and the timbers are apparently
as sound as the day they were sub
merged. 1t was necessary last night
to slow down No. 3 Starrett pump.
tltlt DcllS lhSulllCltut water 1ldh-
ing in the Wine to require the speed
used in pumping out the winze down
to that point. No. . Starrett has
had the brunt of the work in the un-
watering process and has succeeded,
after numerous setbacks and neces-
sary adjustments and repairs. 1t has
performed the task laid out for it,
and the two pumps are in first class
condition, and no difficulty is anti
cipated in holding the water below
the level. The station was coolins
eff rapidly last night, and will soon
be available as a working base OF
that level.
The removal of the bulkhead in
the north compartment of the winZe.
located two feet below the floor of
the station, was accomplished during
the night, and No. l Starrett pump
has been lowered in the stump for a
distance of about thirty-three feet.
Both pumps are now in fine trim,
with No. | ready for service when
required. The drift leading from the
station to the Ophir, Mexican, Union
and Sierra Nevada, is in good con-
dition, as far as it was examined this
morning, some muck being down on
the floor of the drift about thirty feet
in, and a little water on the north
side of same. There is every rea-
son to believe that the level in all
of the mines can be recovered readi-
ly.
Along the 2700, there is an area
of ground that all agree has never
been thoroughly explored, and not
long ago, attention was called to the
fact in an interview with Mr.. William
E. Sharon that a sample assaytns
$1,000 per tor was personally taken
by him on the 100 of the Mexican
Above this level is 200 feet of
ground that has probably never seen
a diamond drill hole.

STRIKE AT AURORA

The Salt Lake Tribune says that
w. Lester Mangum, secretary of the
Aurora Consolidated Mining COM
pany, whose properties are at Aurora,
New, has received word of the open
ing of rich gold ore at the bottom
of the shaft in the old workings just
unwatered.
There is an eight-inch streab of
it that goes better than $500,
and two samples showed ~$3124.GS
and ~$15S9.35, respectively, to the
ton.
People at the mine and at Aurora
are very jubilant, expecting that fur
Their important orebodies will be
found. Mr.. Mangum is much pleased
and says the mine is responding
generously all along the line.

The downward extension of the A.

the Montana-Tonopah mine was
proved this week in a raise started
on a stringer of ore which in a few
feet widened out to from 2 to 3 feet
of good mill ore. This vein has now
been proved from above the 565-foot
level for a depth of about 100 feet

been drifted on for a length of from
12O to 10 feet long and from 3 to

PITTSBURG SILVER PEAK
PAYS GOOD DIVIDEND

The Pittsburg Silver Peak Mining
company today declared a dividend
of 2 cents a share making a disburse-
ment of $55,S0O. Last year this
company paid out ~$167,400 and the
dividend of today makes the total
dividend paid out by this company
$739,0O0.
The property of the company is
one of the Oldest in the state and has
been operated for a period of forty
years, durirg which some delay was
caused by litigation affecting title
which was decided in favor OF the
present company. The ore values are
about the lowest in the state, and
the mill and mine have a record for
efficiency that not excelled by anv
other company in Nevada.-Bonanza

Baltimore Locomotive HaulS
SIS Cars to Philadelphia
in 10 Hours

The biggest and most powerful To-
comotive ever built pulled out of
Bay View Junction, on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad tracks. at 6.1O
o'clock yesterday morning, drawing
a train of 55 coal cars. aggregating
4,012 tons. 1t was the trial trip of
the monster in actual service, and it
pulled the train to Philadelphia in 10
hours and 20 minutes. 1t is said to
be the heaviest train ever hauled this
distance by one locomotive.
The locomotive, known in railroad
circles as the Matt II. Shay, was con-
structed at the Baldwin Locomotive
Works for the Erie railroad 1t is

and has a wheel base OF 80 feet. It's
dimensions may be pictured when it
Is pointed out that the ordinary loco
motive weighs only about 200 tons,
and the monster Mallet engines less
than 400 tons.
The locomotive has three sets of
driving wheels. three cylinders and a

truck in the rear. The third set Of
drivers and cylinders are under the
tender of the huge machine. The ten

PREPARE FOR THE
COMING ELECTION

The time is drawing nigh when
the political parties of the state will
be selecting delegates for state and
county assemblies, and the first and
foremost issue should be a matter
that concerns us all without regard
to party, viz, the law that places a
double taxation upon our mines out
put. This law should be taken up
and thoroughly explained to the lay
man by every paper in the state, es-
pecially by the papers published in
the mineral producing regions, be
they Democrat, Progressive or Repub-
lican, and each county should select
representatives to the state assem-
bly, this fall in whom they have con-
fidence and who will devote their
time and energies in getting this un-
just law, that is retarding mining de-
velopments throughout the state re-
pealed.
The farmer in Colorado in a great
measure is interested in the prosper
iey anu poPuidliOA VI Jul mouh tdiu
districts. for the simple reason that
the more dense becomes the popula
tion Of the mountains and the more
activity displayed, the more readily
they can dispose of the products of
their land to those living in the
mountains who have to depend Who'll
ly upon the farmer for everything
they consume. Let the press of
the mountains convince the farmer
that the passage of this unjust law
has acted as a boomerang to their
interests and we have no doubt the
law will be repealed, and it stands
every county in hand to send those
WHO will battle for the interests of
mining to our next legislature, re-
gardless of party ties.
