The article recalls the rise of Nevada silver mining and outlines how different mines along the same ledge yielded strikingly varied results. It notes the rapid early progress, the Gould & Curry and other wells, and contrasts deep pay streaks with shallow ore. It questions predictability across the district and mentions Walker Bros. spending $100,000 on their mill and mine, with ore remaining above water.

Sitting Bull and a Troubled Commission Report
The report notes Major Walsh of the British mounted police found the commission’s interview with Sitting Bull chaotic. The reading of the address was short and unclear to the Sioux, leading to misinterpretations about returning to the United States. The piece also references Nez Perces and Bear Paw, with broader political mentions about Gambetta and French leadership amid cabinet talks.
