GREAT MILL FOR
 COMSTOCK

After more than sixty years of life the Comstock mines are still among the living, producing properties of the country. During the civil war it was the mines of the Comstock that gave life and credit to the Nation, and after the war it was these same mines that made possible the resumption of special payments. Although nearly a billion of golden and silver dollars have been poured from the depths of these great veins later development has brought forth still more of these great bodies of ore, which, to proper ly care for, a mill having a capacity of one thousand tons daily is about to be constructed.
 The life of gold or silver mine has been computed at ten years, but the fellow who doped this theory will have to revise his premises. Many impor- tant mines of both gold and silver have been in operation more than 40 years and are yet capable of maintain ing a creditable output. In the early years of the United Verde gold and silver was the metal sought for, but of course, later development brought in the wonderful deposits of copper. It was so with the big mines of Butte, and in fact the copper mines of Mich igan were originally rich in silver. Even the little vein of the Mines Com pany of America, la Colorado, in Mex ico, has been worked for long period, and while possibly one of the narrow est veins that has been mined, having a width of from to IA inches, has been one of the most consistent pro- ducers and dividend payers in the country. But among them all the Comstock is the peerless mine of the world.

MEXICO MINING DEAD

Mining in Mexico is at standstill, silver being quoted at soc and lead does not bring more than .4c, copper being unsaleable. Owing to the lack of metal market all smelters have closed, even the mills handling silver, ores going out of commission. The old Alvadado mine, one of the larg- est silver producers in the republic, has closed down, only a few men being left at the mines to keep it clear of slides and caves. This mine has been operated the past 20 years and had milling facilities of 1500 tons daily. Every mine and mill throughout the republic, unless distinctly gold, has quit and the miners will have to enter into other pursuits.

A BIT OF HISTORY
Virginia Chronicle

With the springing up of a new American City on American Flat through the operations of the United Comstock Mines company, the follow ing bit of history of that section from the Thompson and West history of Nevada will be read with special in terest.
 In the early part of 1865 an effort was made to procure the removal of the seat of that government of Ne vada from Carson City to American City, south of Gold Hill, in Storey County. It will be remembered that in 1861 the state capital was estab- lished at Carson City, and the legis- lative assembly was obliged to meet at the place where the state prison is now located. Storey and Lyon county, taking advantage of this cir constance, entered into competition to secure the removal of the same to within their respective boundaries, at Virginia City, if Storey county was successful, or at Dayton, if Lyon county secured the prize.
 The Ormsby county people became alarmed, and by petition asked the legislature to adjourn to Carson City, where they would be furnished with assembly rooms, free of charge, which was finally done, Lyon and Storey failing to gain the location.
 In January, 1864, a company organ ized with a large capital, laid out a town on the flat south from Gold Hill, and named the location American City. They then offered $50,000 as a donation to the territory if it> would remove the capital from Carson City to that place, and the Storey county advocated the removal.
 One of the reasons alleged for its heing desirable to make the change was that Ormsby county had offered to furnish assembly rooms free of charge and then was asking a rental of $4,500 per session for the use of the building. The capital was not removed, but the discussion left many footprints behind in that existed in the early times.
 It is said that American City lost the capital by only two votes in the assembly.
