SATURDAY EvENING--OCT. "a.

and for while bloody colllSlon seemed I'M
minent. Rerolvers were drawn on both sides,
and picks and shorels bid fair to bring high
ing. down gold and silver ores. According
to Professor Blake's map, and also according
to the assertions of various persons with whom
we have conversed, the Ophir Company have
drifted north of the Spanish mine hundred
and fifty feet, on the Comstock ledge, and
then west a hundred and sixty, thus reaching
the ground claimed by the Moscow Company,
and breaking in upon it with an armed force
Yesterday afternoon, asbefore stated. A for
mer attempt to drift into the Moscow had
failed. This was some time ago. When
the Ophir men commenced breaking in yes
tcrdav, the news was carried to the foreman
of the Moscow, Mr.. Somers, who went down
into the mine, and was confronted BY SUPER
intendent Wilder, of the Ophir, with pistol
in his hand. Pistols were drawn by the Mos
COW party, and a general row occurred. The
Sheriff was sent for and arrested eighteen of
the Ophir party, including the Superintend-
ent Wilder and the Foreman, Mr.. Hancock,
for riotous conduct. Judge Leconey placed
each of the eighteen under $500 bonds to
keep the peace, and $500 to appear in Court
to-day ut one p. n.

A BIG HUMBUG.-The postal arrange

humbug extant; and we really know of no De-

postal arrangements are under the supcrvl-
sion of the Mail Agent appointed for Califor-

thereby, as well might the office be entirely

means to make proper representations bear

the proper Department at Washington.
