COLORADO SILVER MINEs.-The Visalia
Delta, of Jan. 26th, notices the arrival in
that place of three gentlemen from the Col
orado silver mines, who bring astonishing
and probably exaggerated-accounts of
rich discoveries at place called Silver
Buttes. The mines were discovered several
years ago by the Mormons, and worked as
lead mines. They smelted out ii 900 pounds
but the lead was so hard that it injured
their rifles, and they abandoned 1t. The
groupings assay $50 ounces Of silver and
1,600 pounds of lead to the ton. Eight feet
below the surface the ore contains so per
cent. Of metal, and assays 1907 ounces to
the ton Of silver, and 1900 pounds of lead.
Four veins have been found which average
from twenty to thirty feet in thickness, and
one hundred feet in thickness. The assays
we're made in four different establishments,
and by good practical assayers. The mines
are situated about forty miles from the Col
orado river, and are supposed to be within
the limits of New Mexico. They are two
hundred and fifty miles from San Bernar-
dino, near the Salt Lake road, and about
twenty-five miles this side of Los Vegas.
A town called POtosi, has been laid out at
the mines, and there were forty-eight men
there when the party left. They purpose
returning soon to erect smelling works.
