NEW FINDS ARE
MADE At DEPTH

Is Virginia City, fguratively speak
irr. going to rise "PEoenix-like from
the ashes" Is it going to pass down
in history again as furnishing untold
millions to help this nation in f.
nancing its war program? These
and other questions of a similar char
acter are asked daily and can al
most be answered in the affirmative.
For it is a fact that conditions on
the Comstock are improving each
day.
Each weekly report from the north
end mines shows a continued in
crease in quantity of ore developed
as we'll as in assay values, says the
Carson Appeal.
1t is also a remarkable coincidence
that four of the five great north end
mines have simultaneously discov-
cred ore in the deep levels after
years of effort. The properties are
the Consolidated Virginia, Mexican,
Union and Sierra Nevada. 1t will
take time to demonstrate the extent
of the new orebodies being opened,
but those who are familiar with the
situation are confide-.t of big results.
In the Consolidated Virginia on the
200 level, the southwest drift is
now in on the ore a distance of over
100 feet; the ledge is growing strong
er in naturalization as it Is penetrat-
ed and the assay values continue to
increase, which all goes to prove the
find is bigger thaa was first antlci-
pated.
The Mexican company is still fol-
lowing up the rich ore found only a
short time ago on the 270O-fOot lev
ell, and the first cars of ore taken
from this find gave al average assay
value of nearly $4S per ton. The i'm
portance of this orebody can hardly
be overestimated.
In the Sierra Nevada, also on the
27OO level, a marked improvement in
the values of the ore is shown. A
sample of ore taken from the ma
terial in the face of the drift, in
which a very high grade streak is
found, including the waste rock, gave
an average assay value of SIT per
ton.
In the Union Consolidated, on the
2000-foot level, where considerable
stopping is being carried on, car sam
pies give an average assay value Of
S1%S to the ton.
Other mines in the vicinity are
showing renewed activity. Optimism
prevails in the very atmosphere in
the Comstock city, the business men
are %jubilant over the outlook and
from reports now obtained from the
good, substantial citizens of the
camp who have made trips under
ground for the purpose Of securing
definite and reliable information for
themselves. they believe hat this
summer, in view of all reliable re-
ports, Virginia City will be n of
the best camps in the state. That
their belief comes true is the hope OF
every citizen of Nevada.
