! SINGULAR GEOLOGICAL SPEcEMEN.-Wc
saw IN animal yesterday OF which no natural
! iSt with whose works We are acquainted, has
given an account. It WIS caught in trap
bv Il man who lives in 4 cabin short dis
lance above the works of the Bullion Com
panv. Ii is about the size of L prairie dog,
with the color and optics of 4 rat, the tail of
squirrel the ears Of chinchilla, and the
action of RABBIT. 1t has heavy coat of
soft, fine fur. and reminds us of two verses of
Hamlet. He is singular bird; take him
for all in all; we nc'cr did look upon his
like" before. 1t is probably specimen of a
rare variety of mountain rat.-IniOR. We
will bet two feet in Dan Dc Quille'S Pewter
inctum mine that it is one Of the BWItetiR'S
wolves.
IIvEI;Nu FOR THE BELcurE!-Wc saw
this morning on the counter of MAYNARD X
Floods Bank, seven large, solid blocks of
silver bullion, ready to be shipped to San
Francisco. The total value was eighteen
thousand dollars. 1t came from the Bclchcr
mine, in Gold Hill District, and within rltic-
shot of the News office. This stack OF bricks
WAS decidedly pleasant to the eve, and made
us feel hOpcful-and not in the least sorry
that our mines are giving out i'll so hand
some manner. Hurrah for the Belcher.
THE SUNRISE We were shown, this
morning, very handsome specimen OF the
rock taken out of the Sunrise mine III Gold
Hill. which was most splendid streak of
Sunrise. The rock was beautifully studded
with virgin gold and silver, and thread of
the latter, aS viewed through Il lens, was at
least an inch long. Good for the SunriSc!-
MAY its worthy owners ba$k in continual
strcakS of such sunshine.
Rich Rock FROM AUGrSTA DiSTRICT.-
Mr.. Robert y. Graves, Superintendent of the
Empire Mill, recently had some rock sent
to him FROM the "Si<tCr ScricS" lodges, Au-
guSta District. Reese River, which went as
high us $3.50 80 TO the ton. The company
are working on the ledge, and taking out
ore. This district was organized last Spring,
and will undoubtedly prove rich.
ANOTHER New DISrMCT.-A new mining
district has been laid out about 50 miles cast
Of this city. The new district is called
Mountain Wells The leads are said to be
enormous in size and of marvellous richness.
Groupings from one of the heads ASSAY 500.
The city Of La Plata has been laid out i'll the
new mines.
PrGuISrIC.-Guido I.iSinor, an iratc TIA
liam, pitched into one VIM. Small, opposite
Judge Atwilrs Court, this morning, and the
result was 4 short but mote little Discus
SION" \ policeman who CHANGED that way
nj the time nahbcd the son of the sunny
South" and took him to quOd, i.e. the Coun-
~ Iail.
LNNGroN'S ENrEESS.-rhis CntcrpriSing
Express has made arrangements TO send
ginia and Gold Hill direct to Como, by Rus
sells stages. Como is locking up, and will
shortly attract more attention than any place
outside Of Gold Hill and Virginia.
MAS$tLoN.-A splendid specimen of rock
taken from the MaSsilon claim to-day, lies III
front of the Secrctary'> office, opposite Odd
Fellows Hail. II strongly resembles the
quality of rock taken from the Mary Ann

Tur SrREEr.-MarShal Arnold has three
teams employed in hauling refuse quartz
from the tunnels, and Matchmaking Main
street. This is great and desirable I'M
