ANOTHER New DIsTRIcT.-MesSrS. ALI
man, Coryell and number of other promi-
ncnt residents of this city, have recently To-
Gated another new district about eighty miles
northeast from here, in which it is reported
that several important lodges have been dis
covered. The name given to this new dis
trict by its locators, is the Desert District,
These gentlemen have also laid out the site
| for a CITY, which they named Lake View City,
because from it may be seen the Sink OF the
Carson and the Humboldt river. Within six
miles of the newly discovered lodges there is
quite an extensive hot spring, near which Is
another of equal extent, of deliciously pure
| cold water, around which deer, hare and
other wild animals are said to be found III
considerable numbers. Specimens of the
rock from several of the lodges in the Desert
District have been brought into town and as
sayed, and yielded tolerably good prospects.
Mr.. Altman leaves town to-day with materi-
ais for building a hotel in the new city OF
Lake View.-BulEetin, yesterday.
PRIDE OF AMERICA COMPANY Next
south of the North American company is To-
Gated the claim of the Pride of America, To-
Gated several months ago. Work has been
continued ever since, and the ledge quite well
defined. 1t has been opened up i'll quite
systematic manner. The main work of the
company at present is the sinking Of shaft
now down some l60 fcct-four by eight
feet in the clear and timbcred, with partition
in the middle dividing the shaft into two
compartments. The quartz extracted from
the ledge, which was run through at depth
of about fifty feet, is of soft, porous nature,
and quite dark colored, and from assays 1t Is
expected, at their present depth, will pay
quite handsomely for crushing. The shalt
will be continued about fifty feet deeper, when
Il drift will be RIM to the ledge.
