ANOTHER PoNY ExpREss.-A project is on
foot in Nevada to establish Pony Express
between that place and Carson City. The
Democrat says:
We learn that sufficient stock has already
been subscribed to carry out the enterprise.
The intention is to connect Nevada with the
Overland Pony Express at Carson City
Competent judges say that tie distance be-
tween the two places can be made in eight
hours, and by this means Nevada will be
placed two days nearer the East than BY the

A considerable emigration of gold seekers
is setting in towards Mono Lake An ex-

pretty much after the primitive California
methods. They lie some six or seven miles
north of the lake, in some low mountains

HE INVENTOR OF THE HYDRAULIC PROCESS.
We are informed by friend that Mr. Mat
tnon, who originated in this county the
hydraulic process of mining, is still engaged
IN mining operations in the upper portion of
the county, and has lately perfected wheel
toclear fumes of the leaves, sticks and other
trash which float on the water. He is an
ingenius man, and the hydraulic process
alone has better entitled him to reward from
the State than if he had discovered thous-

The Pony Express arrived at Carson City

The Pony Express arrived at Carson City
on Monday last with dates from St. Louis to
the 2Sth of April, four days proceedings of
the Charleston Convention and an account
of the great prize Gght between Heenan and
Saycrs. But for an interruption of tele-
graphic Communication between st. Joseph
and st. Louis we should probably have had
the full proceedings of the Charleston Con-
vention; as it is, the nominee of the Democ-
racy for the next Presidential fight is not
vet known on the Pacific. Douglas friends
evidently had control of the convention, and
If the two-third rule did not slaughter him

important subject Of the prize fight the pa
pers tell us that Heenen and Sayers fought
thirty-nine rounds in two hours and eight
minutes, Sayers drawing the first blood and
Heenan achieving the immortal honor of the
first knock down. Heenan was evidently
the best man, but at the last round he got
Sayers' head Sin chancery," when the crowd

fNDAy TROUBLES IN WAsHoE.-On the 9th
inst. we received from our townsman J. B.
Low, who is at Carson City, a telegraphic
dispatch informing IFS that the day previous
the house of Williams at the sink of Carson
river had been burned by Indians and seven
white men massacred. The Indians-Pah-
Utahs-were reported to be 500 strong, armed
and advancing from 26 mile desert toward 5
the settlements near Carson City. There
was reason to suppose other solitary houses
had been visited by the savagcs and their
occupants murdered. The intelligence Gre
ated great excitement. The women and
children were removed from Chinatown to
Devils Gate, which place is fortified, and
two or three hundred men, armed and equip
ped, had gone from Carson City and Virginia
to meet the Indians. A dispatch dated the
same day and addressed to the Sacramento
Union, says 90 mounted rifemen had left
that place up to o'clock, P. M and thirty
FIVE more were going. As the Pah- Utahs
are said to be a superior race it is to be
feared our friends across the mountains will
have to do some severe fighting to subdue
them. Active preparations are going on for
the defence of the settlements. The Indians
are reported to have fortified Ragtown and
| threasen big fight.

HENNEss Passive notice in the Nevada
Democrat statement that Sales pack train
had succeeded in getting through this pass
to the eastern slope, and would hereafter
make regular trips that way. A gentleman
from Virginia City thinks this mistake, and
assures US Mr. Sale was unable to open
trail for his animals and finally crossed by
the Jamison route. But we are inclined to
think the Democrat is not mistaken. Mr.
Smith, who has been driving a passenger
train by the damison route went up on We'd
nesday to ascertain whether it is practicable
to attempt opening the Henness Pass forth
with, and if he decides that it is the thing
will be done. Doubtless trail can be made
by the two trains in conjunction, unless the
storm now raging has deposited another
thick snow bed
There is likely to be two good wagon roads
leading from Nevada county to the Henress
Pass-the Truckee Turnpike, which is now
vigorously under way, San Juan enterprise,
and the Henness Pass Turnpike, soon to be
consmenced, and which originated at the
county seat. These roads are both needed,
whether Wasfoe rs a humbug or not fbut it
is not) and will contribute immensely to- the
convenience ard prosperity of the citizens Of
Sierra and Nevada counties. Good speed to
both. The Henness Pass Turnpike begins
on this ridge, at Eureka South, about twenty
four miles from San Juan, and some day we
hope to see the road connecting this place
with it much improved by our business men
who desire to enlarge their circle of trade.

TIE COLUMBIA HILL CrssApAn.-on our

THE COLUMBIA HILL CINsABAR.-On our
first page will be found an account of a visit
to the locality of the reported quicksilver
discovery near Columbia Hill. The substance
called cnnabar we think to be nothing more
than the decomposed surface of slate rock,
forming a clay and redeemed by oxide of
iron. 1t would probably make good bricks.
but we failed to wiring any quicksilver from
it. Others have been more fortunate with
out doubt, for they SO declare, and the soft
rock is still believed 10 be cunabar. Some
of it has been sent to Nevada to be assayed
Since writing the article above alluded to,
we have been informed that the raYine in
which the dead" was struck was mined for
gold as long ago as 1853 quicksilver being used
and likely wasted. Some of this quicksilver
probably permeated the decomposed rock,
became divided into minute globules, aud
has thus deceived and excited whole COM
munity.
But the discovery of rich quartz near Co.
lumbia Hill, elsewhere mentioned, is no
mistake. Other specimens are exhibited
which contain numerous golden specks. A
small sack full of dirt obtained from the
outeroppings and panned out yielded one
dollar and twenty cents. 1t is strange that
quartz leads were not long ago found and
worked on the ridge between the Middle and
South 1uba. Every ridge north and south
of it abounds in paying ledges, and doubt
less this will prove to be like them as soon
as attention is turned in that direction.
