WALTER Scorr.-The Walter Scott mine
is situated in the DEVILS Gate Mining Dis
trict about one mile northeast of Silver City
and near the Mount Tabor Mine, where the
fatal accident occurred in drilling out blast
some day since. An incline shaft has been
sunk in the ledge to the depth of TO feet at
which depth ore has been obtained which as
sayed as high as $500 to the ton. At this
point, however, the ledge was found to be
very much broken up, and accordingly the
Company have gone some 400 feet further
north and commenced another incline which
is only down some % feet at present. Work,
however, is being steadily carried on, and
they expect to raise pay ore enough to run
one or two mills in short time. At the
point where the new incline is being sunk,
the lode is found to be solid and well defined.
The ledge is about 80 feet thick, and can be
traced for half mile by the groupings, which
extend 20 feet above the ground in several
places. The ore contains gold and silver,
and traces of copper, in fact some OF the
pieces are quite green with the oxide of the
latter metal.
ANOTHER MAN RoBBED.-Another rob-
berry was perpetrated at Silver City last night
about 10 o'clock under the following circum-
stances: A miner commonly known as Tim,

money-of which he had about one hundred
dollars-promiscuousl Last night he left
one of the saloons somewhat intoxicated, and

through him for his pistol, which they took
