The Territorial Enterprise of the 22th ha
the following:

the following:
A MAMMOTH ENTERPR1sE.-A company
the leading members of which are Pete
Rice formerly OF Marysville, J. Ii. Atchis on
of the Spanish Company, VIM. Harrington
of the firm of Fall d Co., at Carson City
have laid out town and are making arrange
ments for series of mill sites in the canoI
between WaslIoe Lake and its terminus il
Pleasant Valley. They intend to ditch anC
dam the lower portion of Washoe Lake, 81
that it can be commanded at all seasons o
the year. In addition to this they are bring.
ing from Affords Canon some 5000 inches o.
water, which will be discharged at the head
OF the canon. They find, by actual survey
That IN distance of three and a half miles
they can get fall of 33S feet, and with the
water from both sources obtain propelino
power and space sufficient for the construc
tion of number of mills. The company is
named the Washoe Mining and Manufacture
ing Company, and their enterprise will add
materially to the wealth of the country.
NAvADA TERRIToRY-Althought the Terri
tory of Nevada has been created obout three
months, no official knowledge of the fact has
been received by any person in this Territory.
when will the Governor come ?-is an inter-
rogatory we frequently hear. 1t is probably
doubtful whether Governor Nye will favor
the country with his presence, but if he does
not come he will resign and some one else
will be appointed in his place. In the mean
time it behooves good citizens to maintain
our present organization until the arrival of
the new appointees.
PROBABLE HOMICIDE AT CAnsoN.-On Thurs
day night last, Mr.. Thos Condor. bar-keeper
at Harris d Winston's saloon at Carson Citv.
was shot by man named Stul Condor
was shot through the right lung and fears are
entertained for his recovery We have not
obtained full particulars of the affair. Stull
has been arrested and is now in the iail at
Carson City. lie is represented to be an es-
capped thief from California.
RIcH LErGn.-The North American Com
pany, which is located in Spanish Ravine,
about one and half miles east of Silver
City, lately had forty tons of their rock
crushed at the mill of Burk q Co., which
yielded $2,500. The ledge is about three
feet in width and well defined. As it is now
in the hands of few persons, and they prac-
tical working-men, great results may be ex-
pected from it.
NICE PREsENT-Mr. Sandy Bowers, of Gold
Hill. has presented his wife one hundred tons
of rock from his claim at that place. The re-
suit obtained from the last hundred tons net
ted over 1000. Mr.. Bowers is a model hus-
band, and we would advise other claim own
ers to follow his example-especially if they
have rich rock to present, and wives to pre-
sent it to.
New TowN.-The Ophir Company have
laid out a new town near their works in
Washoe valley, which they intend for the
residence of the workmen employed in their
mill. The town site is an excellent one
plenty of wood and water-and the scenery
around it is of the grandest description. The
new town has been christened Washoe.
FlREMEN's MEErING-The Virginia Bucket
Company convened Friday evening, 18th
instant. Chief Engineer Peasly in the chair
The regular order of business being dis
pensed with, it was moved and seconded that
as Foreman j. NJ. Downs and Secretary W.
Thompson had decumped with the funds of
the company, their names be forthwith strick-
Ell from TIL roll as officers and members, hav-
ing betrayed the confidence reposed in them,
and therefore being utterly unworthy of any
with this body. Carried unani-
mously.
Capt. Byrnes was elected Foreman.
First Assistant Ludington having removed
from town, his resignation was accepted.
Second Assistant McClusky was elected
First Assistant Foreman; John Piper, Second
Assistant
James B. Morrison was elected Secretary.
SEVERE ON THE NEW REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS.
Under the heading of "The Fable of the
Frogs, and the Stork about to DC Realized"
the San Francisco Morning Call thus cudgels
the new appointees of honest Old Abe"
The old fable, which relates that the frogs,
being dissatisfied with their form of govern.
ment, prayed to Jupiter to place a king to
reign over them; finally, in answer to their
he gave them n king in the
person of Stork, who soon began to devour |
hem most numerically. This fable is about |
70 be realized here. The people of Califor-
lia have long prayed to be relieved of the
political rule of Democratic Federal office
holders; that prayer has been answered, and |
he Republican party has been placed over
u.s. We sadly fear that party is the veritable
Stork. We hear it stated, and appearances
Indicate the truth of the statement, that Col |
ector Rankin is making all his appointments
with an eye solely to the control of the next
State election. 1t is also publicly announced
that at the Republican State Convention, U.
$ Marshal Rabe will appoint deputy to re.
side in each county in the State just think
of that-forty Deputy Marshals, with no
other duty to perform but to electioneer for
the Republican ticket Had Solomon ever
dreamed of such trick, we should have sug-
gested the necessity of Vigilance Committees
and various other summary engines for re-
moving public nuisances. AS it is, it will be |
well to consider the probable necessity for
them Considering the commencement they |
have made already, we would suggest to our
U. S. Senators the proprety of opposing the
of the prominent Federal Off
ciels recently appointed. In these times, at
all events, the attempt to use Federal patron
age to subserve partizan interests and gain
advantages for partzans, should be good |
cause for removal, and U. S. Senator who
is faithful in his duty will not fail to urge
such cause as a good reason for not confirm
ing the appointment of any officer who re-
sorts to the practice.
THE SECEssIoNIsTs TEST EoR THE Coming
ELECTION. We find the following pointed
