THE GOLD HILL DIsrRICr.-This Min

profit and prospects of the development Of
immense discoveries. The mines now be-
ing developed command the attention,
labor and capital of many thousands of
people in the best mining markets In the
Territory and California. The mining
operators of the District who are settled
here in the business, are as capable both
in enterprise and means of accomplishing,
or of approaching as near to satisfactory
success as anv other class of practical,
liberal and indefatigable men. Indeed it
NAV well be said that the treasures drawn,
from the Gold Hill District are less the
results of speculation than is noticeable in
the transactions of other Districts. This
is an old District and many of its mines
and mills have become regular and per-
manent sources of wealth-So regular and
permanent as TO prosper without causing
any special or exciting remark upon their
splendid contributions TO the circulating
riches of the country. Other places have
grown larger and been more the centerS of
temporary attraction. but they have not
been so reliable in producing the income
necessary for the general expenditure as
the Gold Hill district has been. In fact
the growth and abundance of other places
have been maintained by the steady yields
of our mines. Let the truth be known,
and it will be seen that much of the riches
of the fourishing city of Virginia comes
from this district. The Virginia district has
had the advantage of an industrious and
successful Press TO set forth its claims to
popular observation; but until now the
Gold Hill District has silently progressed
with but half its merits disclosed. y
medium is now offered for all the just rep
reSentationS needed of the excellence of our
mines and the energy and superiority of
our enterprises. We offer this opportunity
and hope that none will neglect, for their
own sake, to accept and profit by it.
GOLD HILL TURN VEREIN-Recently,
meeting was held By number of Germans
Of Gold Hill, for the purpose of organizing a
Turn Tcreiu in this town. The Society WAS
duly organized, Bylaws passed, and the fol-
lowing Officers elected for term of three
months: c. Fliedner, President; George
Perry, Secretary; ]. G. Meyer, Treasurer;
{. Haub, ID Treasurer; Fred. Uhl, Leader
of Gymna>tic Exercises. The Turner'S have
our best wishes for their success.
To VIRGINIA BY RAIL.-We believe that
project more promising of profit than
that of railway over the Tunnel Road
could not oe started. The tunnel road ex-
tends between Gold Hill and Virginia, and
Is quite level and very well graded
Horse cars placed upon it, after the style
of city railroads, would be so useful a
novelty that it could not fail of making
the Tunnel road thronged and pleasant
way connecting the great and friendly
communities of Gold Hill and Virginia.
PRArER'S CoHCENrRAToR.-We wit
messed the working of this machine at the
American Flat Mills few days since, and
have no hesitation in pronouncing it a
perfect success. In con<truc ton it is very
simple, and the principle involved III the
concentration of the undecom posed sui
phuretS and other valuable matter escaping
from the pans, is the same as that of wash
ing or panning out gold; nothing of any
value can possibly escape it if properly
attended to. We learn that the Gould 4
Curry Company contemplate putting
number of the COncentratorS in their
works in Six Mile Canon.
The PIONEER FoUNDRY.-This extern
Sivc mandatory, situated between Gold
Hill and Silver City, has been rebuilt and
improved since the fire which recently
DESTROYED it, and it is now in full oper-
alton, employing forty or fifty workmen,
and producing work principally for the
Gould & Curry Mining Co., of Virginia.
REESE RIvER.-We learn from persons
returning from Reese River, that in order to
secure seat in the return stage, passengers
are obliged TO book their names ut the stage
Office as far in advance as they have to here
i'll going out.
SILVER CITY GUARDS.-We were present
on last Friday evening at the drill meeting of
this fine company, who are under the COM
mand of Capt. Terry-and were very agree
a0ly surprised at their proficiency in the use
of arms, as well as in their going through
the most difficult movements Of marching.
Their next meeting will be on Tuesday even
ing, October 18th.
MEssRS. BARNEY & McDUFFIE, of Silver
City, are constructing a very commodious
fre-proOf cellar under their store-prepara-
tory to laying in their fall stock OF goods.
COMPANY A, Capt. Zabriskie, and Com
pany B, Capt. Baldwin, left Fort Churchill
last Saturday for Salt Lake. They will make
it hot for the saints in case of a collision.
GEHEsEE MINING DIsTRICT.-We met
gentleman yesterday just returned from this
district who speaks most encouraSlngIy OF
the value of the mines in that vicinity. We
received a most favorable impression con-
cerning one ledge in particular, the Alta
Copper and Silver Mine, owned by Mr..
Wright and others. Upon an examination OF
a sack OF this ore which was shown US, we
found metallic copper plainly visible in every
piece, and some of the pieces were extremely
rich in that metal. The ore however con-
sists principally of the sulphurets of copper
and silver, together with a small percentage
of oxide of copper; upon one piece depos-
tie of sulphate of protoxide of copper, slml-
lar to that found at Reese River, had been
formed. This district is situated about fifty
miles from Gold Hill in southerly direction
and about twenty miles easterly from
Genoa. 1t is being rapidly developed, as
large number of miners are busily engaged
in prospecting, and sinking shafts upon such
lodes as show good surface indications.
The YELLOW JACKET AND UNION
The suit between these Gold Hill COM
panies, will probably be decided in the
District court this week. Both compan-
les, we believe, claim front ledge, while
the Union company aver that the back,
and not the front ledge, belongs to the
Yellow Jacket. The Yellow Jacket has
