LIE "AsHoE SILVER MINES A BUBBLE.-Nearlv
all that has been published concerning the Wasboa
silver mines has been of character to Iaad to tb
belief that the Washoe Valley was rich in mineral
| productions almost beyond belief. The same STORING
OF sudden fortunes, and immense "nuggets" hayipr
been found in this region told now as thev were
IN the Atlantic States in l849 concerning Cafor
MA, and In 1857 and '5S about Frazer River. The
picture, however, we have reason to believe, has
been greatly overdrawn. The New York Erpress
of Monday says:
we nave conYerSed with number of miners

al concur IN saying that the richness of the Washoe
Valleys and other localities in Utah has been

extraction, in the employ of the girls father. In
order to put his rival out of the way Gebo be-
thought himself OF singular eXpedent He in
duced young brother of the lady to accomnany
MN on ride and driving some distance fl ON the
house, he got out Of the wagon and told the bow to
wait Tor him, but in case he heard him shout to
drive on quickly towards him. 1t was not long be-
tore the signal given, and on reachinp CIebo
he found his clothing tornand his arm bleeding as
IL ne mad been engaged in atfray. In expana-
ton OF this appearance, he stated that Dav had met
and attacked him, attempting to cut him to pieces.
IN evidence of this he showed several severe
siashes In his vest pattern, and cash in his
arm. lie further alleged that Day had challenged
MIN TO mortal combat, and showed what purported
to be letters written by Day, one of which invited
Geoo to meet him on the spot where the supposed
atiray had taken place Day was arrested; but it

bezzlement of a clerk in that city, saws the defalca
