Show The Mining Proipeet. Never in the history of silver mining have the people of a mining district, had so much to incite them to action, as have the people of Fly district at this time. More mills are needed it is true; those now running are not capable capa-ble of crushing an eighth part of the ore that can be mined from the claims now developed. The new ten-stamp mill belonging to Ely, Raymond i Mee. is now crushing twenty-five tons per day of ore from the Burke mine, while the Pioneer five-stamp mill belonging to Ely i" Kaymond, crushes ten tons from the same mine. The ore yieldingly yielding-ly mill process an average of $147 per ton. The Meadow Valley mill is steadily stead-ily working crushing forty tons of ore each day. from the Meadow Yalley mine. What the ore yields per ton we are not informed, although we know it is over one hundred dollars per ton. Every claim that is being worked shows hoe bodies of high grade ore, and give ihe assurance that Pioche is to be one of Nevada's largest and most prosperous cities. Work has been resumed on all the lending mines, and the dumps are ali full of ore that would set the dwellers on the Comstock crazy, if they eduld see that kind of ore coming out of some of the old mine that have so long given characte lo Washoe. It is useless to particularize where all the mines or claims are on true fissure fis-sure veins each showing ore from the surface to the lowest workings, that will work by mill process from SlOu to per tun. Bad weather, poor-house, poor-house, political excitement, and want of office help, forces us to be brief this week. Eh Ra,n1, Oct. 30th. |
