Thus in the earfier part of the summer of 1859 the Ophir ground could be bought for one hundred dollars, and the Gould & Curry for three dollars per foot. In less than eight months the former had risen to $1, 000, and the latter to $600 per foot, and though the Guold & Curry stock, owing to assessments, and the fact that no ore was being taken out, fell during the summer of 1861 to $200 per foot, we find that less in than- two years from that time it was selling currently at the rate of $5, 000 per foot, and again but one year thereafter for less than $1, 000, and though it subsequently rallied somewhat, selling in April, 1865, for a little over $2, 000 per foot, it can at the present time be bought for about one fourth that sum; nor is this an extreme case, most of the other claims on the Comstock ledge having undergone similar vicissitudes, while some at Gold Hill have fluctuated still more widely.
