WAsHoE IrEMs.-The following items are
taken from the Territorial Enterprise, Of
Saturday last
Works Of great extent and magnitude are
progressing in the vicinity of Virginia City.
This Cedar Hill Tunnel and Mining Co. have
commenced tunnel 1000 feet in length, which
will strike the Hill in the CENTRE some 1900 feet
below the surface, and drain and develop great
many leads. The tunnel is seven feet nigh and
five feet in width.
At the Mexican mine, two large furnaces
have been built, and they have commenced
amalgamating by the barrel process. From
three barrels, (equal to 5000 pounds) over 120
pounds Of gold and silver amalgam has been
obtained.
The Ironsides Company, which is located
on the Vermillon ledge, have struck it unusu-
ally rich in silver. The width of the ledge is
supposed to be about 20 feet.
From 1870 tons of rock lately taken from the
Plato lead at Gold Hill, 81 900 were realized.
Judge Flenniken has entered upon the duties
of his office, p. w. Van Winkle acting as Sec
retary.
On Tuesday Of last week, George W. Brown
and George Bloomfield were severely hurt by
the premature explosion Of blast in the ORR
entail Company's tunnel, in Six-mile Canon
The tamping iron entered Bloomfeld's thigh,
producing terrible wound.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-09

JUDICIAL CoNFIICT.-The President has
appointed II. z. Flenniken, Judge of Utah
Territory, in place of Cradlebaugh, remov-
ed. Flenniken is now in Washoe and has
demanded the Office, but Cradlebaugh refu.
ses to abdicate, holding that the President
has no authority to remove him. AT re-
cent term of the Court held in Carson,
Cradlebaugh alluded to the subject and said,
as per report in the Territorial Enterprise:
That there was another person here, who
claims to be District Judge for this District. He
denied his authority, although Judge Flenniken
had been appointed, confirmed, and assigned TO
this District. He said the President had no
right to remove Judge. That he intended to
resign on the 4th of March next, and until that
time, he would hold Cout. That it was due to
his friends who had accommodated him with
money so to do. That for the reason of the
Government failing to honor his drafts for Iine
months since, his friend, VIM. NJ. Lent, seeing
his great necessity, had advanced him money
upon his salary up to the 4th of March, and he
intended to serve that time out. He said fur
ther, that any attorney who wished to withdraw
his suit from his Court, in which answer had
been filed, he would permit him so to do; in
other cases, papers could not be transferred
from his Court elsewhere, unless by consent Of
counsel on both sides.

SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. 8, 1861.


PINE STREET BRIDGE.--Mr. Spence has
introduced bill, 10 The Assembly, author
izing the Trustees Of Nevada to levy spec
ial tax, for the purpose of constructing a
bridge across Deer creek, at the foot Of Pine
street. The bill was referred to the Nevada
delegation, and as some of the members
were anxious to have an expression of opin-
ion of those interested, petition has been
circulated among the tax payers of the city,
asking the passage Of the bill. The petition
will be sent down tomorrow, and if there
is any serious objection to the measure
among our citizens they can make their OBJ
jections known TO the members from this
county. The bridge, ii is believed, will cost
between $1,000 and $4,000, and the tax for
building 1t will not be heavy when all the
property holders pay their proportion. A
considerable sum might be raised for the
purpose by subscription, but as the bridge
is benefit to the whole town, the expense
Of its construction should be borne by all
the property owners.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-09

SENATORIAL CAUcUs.-The Douglas mem
bers Of the Legislature met in caucus on
Thursday evening, to take action 10 regard
to the election of Senator. Fifty-six
members were present, being three less
than majority. A resolution was adopt
ed, by vote of 80 to "a, to support the
passage of a concurrent resolution for
Joint Convention on the 10th inst, and the
caucus is to meet to nominate candidate
as soon as the Legislature agrees upon the
resolution. There was not much harmony
in the proceedings, and It is matter ot
much doubt whether candidate can be
nominated and even should nomination
be made, there is no certainty Of al cleo
tion. The members seem to be divided iD-
to two parties thirty being friends Of Nc
Dougall or Randolph, and twenty-six for
Denver or Nugent. The concurrent reso-
luton to go into Joint Convention was
probably adopted to-day, and the caucus
will have a full week to ballot for candi-
date.
We notice by the Marysyille papers of
this morning, that the concurrent resolution
to 90 into Joint Convention on the goth,
passed the Senate yesterday by vote of
10 ayes to Is noes but similar resolution
was defeated in the Assembly-36 ayes, 40
noes.
