THE RUMoRED MURDER AND RoBBERY.-So
many robberies have occurred on the Carson
road, between the New York House and Empire
City, that it is with no great feeling of security
that the bravest men nowadays travel that part Of
the highway and tmd men are of course seeing
robbers in every waving bush. Now the stories
we had in this city, day before yesterday of u
teamster having been killed by robbers, and of u
man in buggy having been Killed. all grew out
of very triting occurrence that was witnessed
BY one Of these timid travellers A party of three
or four men were passing along the road, and one
of the party being drunk the Others were trying
to assist him. 1t appears that the man was so
drunk that he could hardly stand, and was unable
to walk without friend on either side to support
him AS this party was dragging its slow length
along" u turn in the road brought horseman in
sight. Just as the horseman came in sight the
drunken man gave a lurch and fell over in the
road Mr.. HorSeman, having his head full of rob-
bers and rObberies, saw all this, AM at once con.
cluded that the man whom the others appeared to
have hold of was some unfortunate traveller who
had fallen into the hand of highwaymen. When
the drunken man fell over the horseman imagined
the robbers had given the poor fellow his qnietus
by Stabbing him, and without waiting to see any
thing more put spurs to his Steed aud scampered
away for his life, spreading the robber story
wherever he came.-EHteTprlSe.

The Mines of Nevada.

The Sacramento Union of yesterday has a
lengthy review of mining operations in the
Pacific States and Territories, and the ex-
element and energy displayed by the mining
population in developing newly discovered
mines. 1t says:s
Particularly is this the case east of the noun
tain and mostly in the Territory of Nevada 1t
is only about four years since it was announced
that silver had been discovered east of the noun
tain The results of the excitement and the en-
ergy and capital it set in motion to discover and
work silver leads and build up cities and towns
have been most wonderful. They are without
precedent here or elsewhere.
Cities and towns have grown up, and mills and
roads have been built as if by magic, and Neva-
da contains at the present time tens Of thousands
of inhabitants And with truth it may be said,
that amore energetic and enterprisng population
cannot be found on this continent The labor and
capital expended in prospecting for new leads,
and in putting those discovered in condition TO
be worked to advantage exceeds anything OF the
kind ever recorded The fruits of such enter
prise are the discovery of silver-bearing districts
which cover hundreds of miles of Territory north
and south, and the location and development OF
lodges which are bound to furnish silver in guam
titles which will astonish mankind
The money which started into
life Virginia, Carson City, Silver City, Gold HILL
Aurora, Silver Mountain, Humboldt and Reese
River came mostly from California, and was car
ried there by Californians. The men who SO car
ried and invested their capital did so because they
believed they could double or treble their ven
ture. 1t was not done particularly to beneht Ne
yada; it was used to promote individual interest,
which in the aggregate makes up the public IN
terest 1t nevertheless was exported from Gall
fornia, and although Nevada is now reported to
be shipping u million of treasure a month, still If
d balance were now struck she would fall in debt
to California millions upon millions The day.

TROUBLE WITH IEDIHNs.-The Bulletin learns
from gentleman just arrived at Reese River that
the people of that section of the Territory antic
pate some trouble with the Indians. the Union
District, about eighty miles from Austin, near
West Gate, the Indians have become very trou.
blesome. A band of them stole several head OF
cattle from drover few days since, and the
droyer, who is q most resolute and determined
man, swears he will recover his cattle, if he has
to fight for them. He was raising number of
men to aid him in rescuing his property, and ere
this there hts been a fight between his
party and the Indians. We also learn that the
Indians in the vicinity of Humboldt are becoming
very troublesome. They are demanding rent for
the land claimed by the ranchmen. A band of
Indians called on one ranchman and demanded
$500 for rent; from another they demanded
81 900; but of course they did not get the meney.
The settlers anticipate trouble to arise from these
claims of the Indians We do not consider that
there is any serious cause for alarm on the sub.
iect. ANY attempt at hoStilities on the part Of
the Indians would cause their speedy humiliation
