Mining operations in the deep
levels at the northend of the Com
stock continue to be advanced with
good prospects and results and the
outlook for important developments
in the new territory being opened
cellent. The Consolidated Virginia
on the 27OO level is sinking OF a
good grade of milling ore, the values
for the last week averaging $25
per ton. The bottom of the two
compartment winze, which is follow
ing the course of the hanging wall,
continues to expose the same width
of ore and values. h advance of
the southwest drift is also being car
ried forward, exposing a strong
vein formation.
The Union Con. continues explora-
ton work on the $500, 24O0, 1900
and 2700 levels, and in the main
south lateral drift on the $500 level,
40 feet from the shaft, is raising in
the vein. The car samples last week
averaged over $12 to the ton, and
very promising conditions prevail at
this point. Elsewhere in the mine
the development work is in excep-
tional favorable territory. The I'm
ion shaft, between the 1900 and 200
levels, and the 2700 station have
been put in condition for direct
hosting from the 2700 to the sur
face.
The Mexican continues to make
repairs to the mill and on the 1900
level the establishing of an air con-
nection with the NJ. & o. winze
greatly facilitates recovery OF the
level. and repairs can row be pros
ecuicd much more editiously.
The fine ore prospects of he mine
at the 1900 will be developed at the
first possible moment.
The Sierra Nevada continues to ad-
vance the prospecting drift on the
1900 level on a formation of prom
Sc, and is advancing into a tern
tory beneath the ground above that
gave a yield of much high-class ore.
Further Roadway is being made in
cleaning out the old north drift on
the $500 level, which leads to a
point where oye was reported Ia the
early days, but never extracted as
far as known.
The Ophir north drift on the POO
level l. advancing N clay and quartz
and on the $500 level preliminary
work continues for later explo, alton
The Andes is extracting the usual
grade of ore from the stope on the
350-foot level.
The Comstock-Phoenix in the east
Comstock district is driving a winze
for the 500 level, and at present
progress will soon attain this point,
from which ground under the rich
slopes above will be opened.
The Comstock Leasing company
is operating steadily and handling a
large daily tonnage from the Chollar
and Potosi lease.

o. l.. f., Kingston. n. Y. - 1t has
been impossible to secure any infor-
nation regarding the status of the
Spearmint Gold Mining company.
Nothing has been heard of the camp
of High Grade for many moons and
the few persons here who have had
any knowledge of the district do not
regard 1t as of any appreciable
value.
A. NJ, Lansing Mich.-The Horn
silver district is regarded by mining
authorities as having every promise
of a large production in future, with
milling facilities available. The
Silvermines company has nearly COM
pleted its modern reduction plant
and has a large tonnage of good
ore in sight. 1t is generally believ-
ed that this company will be in shape
to earn substantial profits in the
near future. A complete description
of the mill and property will be pub
lished in this paper in the near flu
ture.

The cross-cut being driven from
the third level in the Consolidated
t cut the high-grade ore body is
now out from the point in the drift
where it turned off a distance of $50
feet, 80 feet being added to the
length during the week. The face
is still in shale, and a turn Is now
being started to run at right angles
to the cross cut, to cut the ore body.
This ore body is more of a fumerole
than a true contact vein, and for
that reason it's boundaries are not
well defined like the great east ore
body. In the east drift, at a point
SO feet from where the ore was first
cut, a cross-cut to the hanging wall
of the vein has been started and is
now in eight feet. This cross-cut Is
being driven to cut a limestone horse
which has cut off q portion of the
ore. With but a few feet of work,
it is expected to expose the hanging
wall segment of the ore body and
add greatly to the developed ton
mage of the East ore body.
Manhattan Red Top
The pumping machinery and COM
pressor recently purchased for the
Red Top is reported en- route and
should be received at the mine this
week. AS soon as the compressor
and pump is in place the shaft sink
ing will be resumed. During the in
terval, the cross cut being driven
northeast has reached 65 feet from
the shaft with no material change in
the face.
Manhattan Mustang
At the Mustang the Train-Chase
lease workings are demonstrating
some very rich ore again, the fault
ed segment of the ore pipe which
was lost from the 225 level has been
picked up and the ore is proving as
rich as ever therein, assays running
into the thousands of dollars per
ton having recently been taken
The sulphide n pipe is still hold

49, ohA
The mining situation along the
Comstock this week remains about
the same with continued favorable
levels, and the outlook excellent at
several points for ore development
of Importance. The Union Con. is
developing an extensive area of new
the north drift from the southeast
drift is being advanced with the
face in quartz and with assays Of a
very encouraging nature. A pro
missing territory is also being de
veloped on the 2400 level, and Oh
the 200 level a prospect winZe
which had been sunk eight feet at
the last official report, exposed
quartz of a favorable assay value in
the bottom. Considerable timbering
has been necessary at the Wine this
week. The Union on these three
levels has prospects that are con-
sidered above the ordinary.
The Mexican on the $500 level
continues to crOss-cut through por-
phyry and quartz, and in a live APP
pearing country. Sierra Nrvada's
$500 northwest drift is in porphyry
and quartz, and the quartz has
shown increased assay value. This
company will soon take up work
on the 2700-foot level. R~eopening
the old north drift on the $500
level continues for the purpose of
exploration work later on a short
distance further to the north.
The Con. Virginia on the 200
level is advancing it's southwest
drift along the course of the hang
ing wall of the vein, and the Ophir
from the north drift on the same
level has started prosecuting to
the east. Sampling on the 1000
level gives excellent results. The
Andes is maintaining the usual ton
mage from the 350-foot level stope.
The Comstock-Phoenix in the
canyon is operating as usual and
rapidly sinking the Wine to the
deeper levels. The Comstock Leas-
ing Co. is mining and milling the
normal tonnage from the Chollar
and Potosi upper levels.
In Gold Hill the Jacket Con. com
pany is testing out and putting the
new mill equipment into shape, and
taking out a considerable tonnage
of ore from the Jacket surface tun-
mel workings.

The things that seem most queer to
me
May commonplace to others be.
You see it makes all the difference
in the world whether or not we are
familiar with things. Did you ever
stop to think when you are looking at
some animal which seems to you very
queer, indeed, that probably you look
just as queer to It? All of US are in
clined to call things queer when they
are different from things we are ia
miliar with.
It used to strike Peter Rabbit as
very queer that Filter the Bat had
wings and could fly when no other
animal is so blessed But Peter saw
Filter flying about so often that he
got used to those wings and no longer
thought them queer until that evenin s
when he became really acquainted with
Filter You remember that Filter had
hung himself by his hind feet to a
branch just over Peters head for a
little friendly gossip. Presently as he
talked. he stretched one wing way out,

replied Peter. And then there is some
thing wrong with your hind legs.
What is wrong with my hind legs?'
snapped Filter rather sharply. Il never
have found anything wrong with
Them
why they are turned the wrong
way" explained Peter "At least 1t
looks like the wrong way to me. Your
knees bend backwards. l don't see how
you walk"
Il don't walk: fly" Filter retort-
ed. How under the sun could 1 fly
if I didn't have long fingers for the
skin of my wings to be stretched be-
tween? Tell me that, Peter Rabbit"
Peter shook his head. Il guess you
couldn't" said he.
Il guess you have guessed just
right" replied Filter. And if my hind
legs We're not just as they are I would
be no better off There isn't a thing
queer about them that I can see. II
they were any different they would be
queer. They certainly would be queer.
Tell me. Peter, how is 1t that when you
run you can take such long jumps?"
"Why, because my hindlegs are long
and made for jumping" replied Peter
W onderingly II should think you
could see that for yourself"
Filter grinned.
Different from the legs Of anybody
else but Jumper the Hare, and one or
two others, aren't they? Rather queer
legs, don't you think?'
why no." replied Peter, There's
nothing queer about them that I can
see. If they were not the way they are
couldn't jump"
Just So" Filter retorted. "Just so.
Did it ever occur to you that those
legs of yours probably are Just as queer
to other folks as mine are to you?"
Peter scratched his head thought
fully.
Perhaps they are"
"Of course they are" replied Filter.
