A big mining deal was consum-
ated during the early part of the
week which will mean the opening
up of one of the best mining
propositio in the districts when
the Comstock group of patented
claims were taken over by Dick
Staley and associates. Active
work will commence at once and
as soon as the machinery is over
hauled and tine buildings put in
good repair, shipments of the
large reserve Of ore that is con-
tanned in the slopes will be start
ed and as the Development pro-
gress the dailv tonnage will be
greatly increased and before many
months the Comstock will be one
of the largest producers in The dis
trict. This property has been
tied up for the past 20 years in
such a manrer that made it i'm
possible to get any satisfactory
arrangements from the owners.
Mr.. Staley has oeen working on
the deal for the past tour years
and at last succeeded in getting
the proposition Strengthened out
that agreeable to both sides. Now
that the Comstock is again opened
