OPHIR p,. BURNING MOSCOW.

The heavy law suits pending between
the several leading mining companies OF
this and neighboring districts are matters
of much interest to our citizens. The
general principles established and the pro-
ceedings had in these cases are precedents
that will govern hereafter and affect the
interests of the whole community. On
Saturday last, as shown by the published
proceedings of the District Court IAN APP
pication for an injunction being then
pending, and the atfidavits filed being ola
conflicting nature), it was agreed by
counsel that Judge North should visit the
disputed ground, and more fully advise
himself of the real facts by personal OBJ
servation. Our Virginia reporter informs
US that the Judge, on proceeding to the
mine, met with every possible obstruction
on the part of the Ophir. Company. They
said they had no person who could con-
duct him through the mine. The Judge
proposed that they send Mr.. Wilder, their
foreman, and when they objected to this.
he proposed several others, among them
their President, Mr.. Lightner, and finally
got them to send Mr.. James, their Sur
veyor. When it is taken into considera-
ton that the Ophir Company are the
plaintiffs in this action, that the order for
which they apply is Of so stringent and
damaging character as an injunction,
that the Judge had taken upon himself
the unusual trouble and inconvenience of
visiting the mine, and that it was done by
agreement of both parties, this I'M
pleasant action on their part most certainly
looks bad, and decidedly against the Ophlr
Company. If it is susceptible Of explana-
ton, a decent respect for the opinions of
the public and common courtesy to the
Court, requires that such an explanation
should be made.

SQuaW Valley.

The mining region discovered last summer
in the Lake Tahoe country, has received but
little notice and excited but little attention
Oh this side of the mountains, and its popu-
lation has been chiefly drawn from the
counies in California Immediately adjoining.
Squaw Valley lies in Placer county, few
miles north of Lake Tahoe, and along the
Truckee river. The diggings were discovered
in July last and have been visited and pros
pected since that time by from two to three
thousands persons. We were visited yester-
day BY a gentleman from those mines who
informs us that at least thousand claims
have been located there and some thirty or
fortp have already been incorporated. Four
mining districts have been regularly Organ-
lied and are named Summit, Red, White
and Blue, Border Line and Soda Spring dis
tricts. Four towns have been laid out in the
Valley. Tahoe City, at the outlet of the
Lake, Knoxville, Claraville and Elizabeth
CITY. The quartz veins through the Valley
are of extraordinary thickness, some of them
being two hundred feet thick. The range Of
the lodges is from north by west, to south by
east, and nearly parael with the Truckee
river. Among the richer lodges our nfor-
mant mentioned the Vicksburg" and the
{" Gen. Meade" An assay from the former
was reported to have shown $40 per ton.
We saw some of the rock which looked very
well. The greater portion of the population
has left for the lower country to pass the
winter, owing to a want of the proper shelter
and sufficient supplies necessary for the long
and Indictment season which is to be expected
in that country. A large population will fill
the Valley next summer. Knoxville, the
principal settlement, is about thirty-fve
miles from this ploce.

Official Reporters.

We fully agree with the Virginia Union
as to the importance of afull and accurate
report of the proceedings of the Constitu-
tional Convention, and the employment
for that purpose of photographic Report
ers of skill and ability. The proceedings
will be read both at present and hereafter
with interest, and will constitute an i'm
portant portion Of the archives of the
State, and a valuable guide in the con-
struction of any ambiguous clauses in the
Constitution, should such by any chance
occur. Messrs. Marsh and Bowman, both
phonographists of well-known ability are
in the Territory, and are anxious to ac-
cept the appointment.

ReeSe River Items.
From the ReriNe of October 2Sth, we c1iI
4 a folln1uino items

From the ReriM of October 18th, we clip
the following items
RICH YIED. We saw yesterday, at the
banking office of White & Bonestei, fye
large silver bricks, worth SO, 900 the proceeds
of twenty tons of rock from the Morgan q
Muncey. One thousand five hundred dollars,
however, of this sum was the yield of only
l,S00 pounds of rock.
SUDDEN DEATH.-A sick man, who said
his name was Dominick Byrne, stopped at
the Clifton House, Clifton, last Thursday,
and on Sunday afternoon died. Before his
death he stated that his wife had started in 4
wagon for this place, and that he had missed
her on the road. He also said that he was
acquainted with a Mr.. 0'Toole in Austin, at
whose house he expected his wife would stop
when she arrived.
YANKEE BLADE.-We have been shown by
w. Nicely Johnson new and splendid map
of the town of Yankee Blade, formerly called
Vaudeville. The change Of name, we under
stand, has been brought about at the instance
of Mr.. Yandle, one of the proprietorS, and
was done for the purpose Of honoring the
celebrated Yankee Blade ledge and district
with the name of the the town.
STRANGER LEDGE.-We were yesterday
shown by Mike Borowsky, a small brick
worth SC %, the yield of 81 pounds of rock
from the Stranger ledge, taken out at depth
of thirty feet below the surface. Pretty good
for the Stranger.
MORE BRIcKs.-We were shown, last Satur-
day, by Robert Cullen, a silver brick valued
at $l9l 81, the yield of 1916 pounds of rock
from the ledge of the Maggie company, in
the Yankee Blade district. Also a brick
worth 500 92, the proceeds of l,400 pounds
OF rock from the Allengheny claim, in the
same vicinity.

Old versus New Washoites.

The Carson Independent is endeavorins
to create prejudice against persons who
are spoken of as candidates for office I'M
der the new State Government, because,
forsooth, they may not have been in this
country as early as the "frst" Settlers
1t intimates that none but the people
who were first to venture out here should
be trusted with Offices of honor and emol-
ument! And especially politicians"
from California !! Strange infatuahon
Prescribing men-however honest, capa-
BILE, and loyal-merely because they were
not here at tbs precise moment when the
Territory was born! Why, the country
is in its infancy-not out Of its swaddllnS
clothes yet and beyond the accoucher
and the nurse, the public will be slow to
discover who it is that can claim partl-
cular monopoly of all the honors pertain
ing to an entirely new form of Govern
ment. We presume that all those who
will be here at the "infair" of inaugural
ing State Government in January, per-
haps, will have just as good right to
hold Office, and to participate in public
affairs, as the rery earliest settIers-not
excepting even the illustrious Winnemucca
or Capt. Jim. Early settlers, indeed
There are none-unless we except few
farmers in Carson and several other val
leys, and the first discoveries of silver and
CITY lots. Not bit of it-and we will
Just inform any one who is candidate
for Office, and who will attempt to present
his claims for nomination upon the
ground of a longer residence in this new
country than anybody else, will find that
he rests his prospects upon rather slen-
der foundation. The ability to perform
the functions of public trust do not con-
sist in having been here a Jew months ear
ier than any body else.
P.S. We came over here In August,
1850, and perhaps observing indications
like some other early settlers, we posted
on a tall pine tree in front of Dutch Nick's
a notice of our intention to run for Sena-
tor in 1864, but crazy man named Hop
kins cut it down with bloody axe!

The One Ledge Theory.

The point over which so much discussion
is being had and which is the basis of so
many important mining suits now pendlngin
the Courts, namely, whether or not there Is
in this mining region but one LEDGE and that
ledge the Comstock, is one in the ultimate
DECISION of which our citizens are most vitality
interested. We take the subjoined extract
from an article on the subject from last Sat-
urday's Sacramento Union, promising that
the views expressed therein strike us as most
correct:
"The zone ledge theory, to which the
Union refers, we understand to be that the
owners of the Comstock claim that there Is
but one ledge at Virginia; that those discov-
cred for hundreds of feet above and below it
are simply spurs of the mother ledge, and
that in descending into the earth they Will
finally run into the parent stem and become
one ledge. This theory is understood to be
maintained by eminent. BIOLOGISTS, while
equally eminent professors IN science deny
the proposition. This theory, though, 1t Is
reported, has been fruitful in lawsuits. 10
disinterested looker-on, such theory sounds
absurd. If ever established it will certainly
and Justly fix upon the companies which own
the Comstock, or as claimed, the mother
lead, the name of the Grab All companies:
At this distance it looks to US as II the legal
establishment of the one ledge theory would
prove public misfortune to the Virginia ais
trct. Itwould suspend work on all the Lodges
within several hundred feet of the Comstock,
and cOnfne mining almost exclusively on
what is termed the mother lead. When COM
panies locate on ledge they generally IN their
notice claim a certain number OF feet each
way from the ledge. In Virginia, we believe,
dred feet. Within that distance, common
sense, as well as common justice, might give
to the company such lodges as were included
in the limits of its claim, but nothing beyond.
But even were the zone ledge theory geolog-
icaily correct, it could not be positively and
practically established except by working the
the rule should be that the owners of the spurs
should work them until they were lost in the
mother lead. Such result would terminate
all controversy, and establish as fact that
which was before a theory founded on the
opinions of scientific men. 1t may be that
the Comstock is trunk, while the Lodges on
each side for hundreds of feet are branches
emanating from that trunk, but we cannot
see how the fact can be proven in Court so
clearly as to justify jury in finding YER
dict. But so deeply is the mining commu-
nifty interested in this question that it would
seem to be the duty of the Legislative power
to close the controversy by an Act declaring
that no mining company shall claim lodges
which are outside of the lines of the ground
included in the recorded notice of location. "

GuBERNAToRIAL.-The question is be-
coming talked about as to who is to be the
Governor of the new State of Washoe ?
Where there are so many gentlemen of talents,
experience in public life, and great merit, as
there are in the country, it is to be hoped
that our first Governor under the State Con-
stitution will be good one. The Press of
the Territory seems rather silent as to who
are likely to be candidates for the position,
but as time flies, and we shall soon have a
State Constitution, gubernatorial candidates
will be trotted out. As yet, we have only
heard the names of Judge Morgan, of Vir
gina, and Hon. John Fl. Mills. of Gold Hill,
mentioned by their friends as candidates for
the nomination. A nomination by the State
Union Convention will, of course, be equiv
alent to an election, as. Copperheadism is
ga dead cock in the pit" i'll this loyal COM
munity.

SINGULAR DIsEAsE.-Very many have
heard of the large number of horses and
mules that die on the road between this place
and Reese River, yet very few have heard the
character of the fatal disease which carries
them off. 1t consists of a violent inflammation
of the glands about the throat, accompanied
With rapid and excessive cess swelling Of the Part
touched with the hand. The animal inva-
riably dies in from six to twenty-four hours
from the time it is attacked. The cause of
this singularly fatal disease is unknown, and
no remedy for it has as yet been discovered.
The matter has created much discussion
among "horse men," but thus far it has re-
suited in nothing. a

DECLINES THE HoNoR.-A correspondent
of the San Francisco CAL, last week, men
toned the name of Mr.. W. E. Melville,
teacher of the High School in Virginia, as a
probable candidate for Congress, on the
Union ticket. Mr.. Melville has come out in
modest little card, in which he informs the
editor of the Virginia Union that he is not a
candidate for any position outside the sphere
of Education. By which the public are led
to understand that he will be candidate for
the office of Superintendent of Public In
strpction. Melville is eminently sound in his
defamation.
