Excerpt from The Comstock Lode: Its Formation and History IT is fitting that a work on the structure of the Comstock Lode should be introduced by a description of the method employed in mining upon it. The known limits of the lode cover a space of feet, in a nearly due north and south direction (magnetic). At the time the existing mine maps were laid out, the variation of the needle in. That locality was 161} degrees east. The northern half of the lode has a direction a little more to the east than the magnetic meridian, and the southern half a strike which again is slightly more to the east than its neighbor. Great irregularities in the course occur locally, the strike varying in fact from north-east to north-west within short distances.
