numerous "baths," cocktails, ETC., we will
only give one incident of the return trip.
The party consisted of four-"Steve," F.,
l., and s.. While riding along the shore
of WaShoe Lake they espied a boat of rather
novel construction mOOred to stake drove in
the mud. S. proposed boat-ridc, which was
no sooner said than done. Horses were
hitched to big Sagc-bruSh-boat loosed by
pulling up the Stake-and away they went,
Merrily over the waters gliding" When
out about about thousand feet from the
shore, however, a change came over the
spirit of their dream" By some accident,
which each LAYS to the other, their craft was
capsi2ed-spiling the whole party into the
drink. l.. struck out vigorously for the shore,
and Steve followed suit F., however, mea-
surfing the distance with his eye, took philo-
sophieal position aStride the boat; but s.,
who went out feet first, struck bottom-the
water not being up to his arm-pitS-and low
ing Joke better than chickcn-brcakfaSt, or
any other man, he commenced hallOoing at
the top of his voice "Swim L., swim !.
Go it, Steve-youIl catch him yet" Il pets
on te pob tail" cried out F., and on this,
Steve, smelling L mice, looked over his Shout
der, and taking i'll the state of facts at
glance, it struck him so ludicrouSly that he
came near getting water-logged before he
could gain his feet. As soon as he could con-
troll himself, he also commenced yelling to l..
to "wade into it." as the water was over a
hundred feet deep. And l.. did pull most
Justify, until the first thing he knew, and
while he was vet some hundreds of feet from
the Shore-hiS knees stuck in the mud of the
bottom-and rising to his feet, he was
greeted TO BE CONTINUED.
SANTA RosA.-The claim and works of this
company are located about six hundred feet
back of the Comstodk, and i'll the Immediate
neighborhood of the Grass Valley, about
Napoleon Consolidated, and the Pride of
Washoe. They have run a tunnel four
hundred and fifty feet. Two hundred and
fifty feet from the entrance, they crossed the
front lead. This is twenty feet wide, per-
fectly defined, with i casing of clay 4 few
inches i'll thickness, and lncilnlng to the cast
at IN angle OF twenty-five or thirty degrees.
They then driftcd south on the lead two
hundred and Sevcnty-hve feet and sunk
shaft ffty-cight feet; 6rifted east till they
found the lead, and are now running north
on it. The indications are excellent through
out the works. The vein is as well defined
in the lower as i'll the upper tunnel, With all
increased width. The quartz is of Il very
promising character; and the fact is well cS-
tabliShed that there is perfect and valuable
silver lode back of, and distinct from, the
ubiquitous CumStOck. The work in the Santa
Rosa mine is done in a strong, substantial
manner, rejecting much credit upon the
S,,,,,,r,ptnn1ant Nv (tnrAn,r Ellintt No
ahould perhaps mention, that the work i'll
this mine cannot be prosecuted to greater
depth without steam machinery, on account
of water. The prospects of this company
are very tiattcring.
ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY RoBBERI-Last
night Mr.. Brown, who is connected with
the Orchestra at Maguirc's Opera House, was
stopped on the Ophir grade by two foot-pads
and told to fork over. He succeeded in shoot
ing one of them and making his escape, and
on his arrival in Virginia gave himself up to
Sheriff Howard stating the facts. An officer
was Immediately dispatched to the scene-no
cold corpus" could be found and Mr.. Brown
was accordingly discharged.
