rock crushed at different mills. The first lot
Of ten tuns was crushed at the Wigham mill,
and paid at the rate Of S38 a tun; but another
lot of the same kind of rock, crushed at the
Cornish mill, yielded about $40 tun. While
engaged in testing this lead, the fortunate
owners discovered another in the vicinity from
which they took out twenty-five tuns of rock,
and had it crushed at Soggs mill, and which
welded 243 or. pwts. of gold, worth about
$4,000. At this rate, the rock pays about $l60
i tun. The Cornish mill is situated on Deer
creek, just below Soggs', and they are both re-
garded as among the best in the county for

Postmaster Of Nevada, has received a letter
from Mrs. Deborah Smith, Of Cape May, N. j.,
asking for information in relation to her son,
William Edwards, whom she has not heard
from for over year, and does not know wheth-
or he is dead or alive. He formerly kept the
Illinois Ferry, in this county, and any person
knowing any thing Of his present whereabouts,

HENNRss PAss.-Mr. Bohanan, who came
down from Eureka yesterday, informs us that
the Henness Pass is open so that pack trains

considerable travel on the route. Men are

snow melts away, so as to have the road in
good condition for wagons to cross by the time
the snow is gone. Mr.. Raford is rebuilding
his hotel, at Jackson's ranch, which was des-
troyed by fire last fall.

any one could have in destroying the building
is more than we can imagine. The building
had lust been finished with a view to the COM
fort Of patients, but had not been occupied.
