Show JOHN W. MACKEY. Th Comstock fttlvar King "KntB Uuf r . m"i - 5? ""fdl't v" Ca'alen-'-e.i.' Johri VY.JIackey, the Co lock silver king, arrived iu tue city ) om the east at an early hour thn morning. Ha will go on to the I'aeifiq coast this evening, even-ing, stopping for awhile in Virginia Cit and examining the Consolidated California Cali-fornia and Virginia mines on the great lo.le which be still controls, before go ing to sn Frani ico. Mr. Mackey thought the statement thai the cream of the ore had been taken out of thn Coiustock mines above the .vioi! level was all a mistake aud ha looked for several larc bonanzas to bn opened above that point yet. Once his partner, James (i. Fair, had informed him that ho had gotten every ounce of ore that would pHy on one of tue levels of the Hale it NorcroFs mine, but he was mistaken, for within live feet of where 1 air stopped a cross cut, a body of ore was struck which yielded $5,-000.000. $5,-000.000. Then there are many reasons to believe be-lieve that the Conistock lodo is rich beyond be-yond any depth where it has yet been penetrated and with improved mining appliances, with the progress made particularly par-ticularly in electrical science, it is but reasonable to suppose that a depth of 5000 feet may yet be possible or even more. Then w e are able to treat oro cheaper every year, so that, tho greatest great-est iieiu of expense on the Corustock is in gcitti;o.r it to the mill and in stamping stamp-ing it. L'tah has a very bright future. 1 see much progress and improvement since 1 was last here. |
