Reese River Items.

From the RereiAe of the 18th we clip the
followings
MAcH1NERY.-TheO Oregon Mill received,
last Wednesday, four new pans and large
iron chimney. The pans were about six feet
in diameter, and weighed eight hundred
pounds each.
RESUMED WORK. - Last Monday, work
was resumed upon the first eastern extension
of the Morgan & Muncey, owned by Frank
Muncey. The incline now being sunk is
about twenty feet in depth.
The shaft in the Quaker City Ledge is now
down to the depth of twenty feet. The ledge,
narrow at first, widens gradually from top to
bottom, and shows bromide and chloride IN
considerable quantities.
On a recent visit to Union No. 2, We saw
that quite large quantity Of rich looking
quartz had been extracted and was piled up
on the surface ready for working. The shaft,
is now down to very considerable depth.
We were shown by Dick Ryan the other
day some as fine looking rock as we have
seen in this vicinity, taken from the Nathan
TAYLOR, near the Santa Clara. They have an
open cut to the depth of twelve feet exposing
to the eye fine ledge about two feet in width.
We learn that new district, called the San
Antonio, has been formed at the lower end
of Smoky Valley. Some very rich lodges are
said to have been discovered. A town site
and numbey of ranches have been already
located. The new district is about 100 miles
south of Austin.
WASHINGTON DIsTRIcT.-Accounts from
this District continue very encouraging. We
have seen, within the past few days, several
gentlemen who have just returned from
there, and they all profess themselves much
pleased with the prospects. The lodges are
all wide and well-defned, and it is thought
that many of them will pay largely, even at
the surface.
HARDING AND HACKAAN LEDGE!-We
were yesterday shown two fine looking bricks
from this ledge The first, weighing thirty
three ounces, was the yield of fifty pounds of
selected rock the other, obtained from the
same number Of pounds Of unassorted rock,
weighed sixteen and a half onnces. The rock
was crushed BY P. F. Davis, Of Canon City.
An ounce and a half of bullion from pound
of rock is pretty good.
MARsHALL.-Upon a recent visit to this
we'll known claim, we found no one present
to explain the proposed manner of working,
but we saw that large open cut had been
made, laying bare the ledge for considera-
BILE distance. An incline had also been COM
menced, and was down six or seven feet be-
low the cut. Near by, on the north side Of
the hill, fine tunnel was being run, but for
what ledge We did not ascertain.
GIRARD is the name of quite recent To-
cation made by Jas. Mckinley. 1t is situated
on Lander Hill, embraces 81, 600 feet in length
and at depth of about fifteen feet from the
surface is richer than old Stephen ever was.
The rock is of the chloride quality, so COM
mon in this vicinity, and very abundant.
Works being prosecuted vigorously, and
the we'll known energy # the locators is
sufficient guaranty that it will soon rank
among the FIRST in the list of good claims.
MEnMA1D.-Wc were shown the other day
BY Lewis Smith, superintendent of the above
claim, quantity Of fine looking rock taken
from the ledge at depth of sixty feet below
the surface, and near the water line. 1t is OF
whitish color, full of sulphurets, and close
" resembles that of the celebrated Yankee
Blade-near which claim it is situated. The
ledge, or rather the pay streak, is full two and
a half feet in width at the present time, and
widening out gradually. 1t bids fair to out
strip any ledge in that locality. Arrange
ments are being made, we understand, where
by work may be prosecuted during the most
nclement weather.
