conclude that the following items, from
the Reese River Reveille, would not prove
unacceptable:
TsE ANADoR.-This claim has caused
an much excitement, been so much talked
about and so many persons have been to
soc il within the last two weeks, that We
have concluded to give description of
4he ledge, the history Of its location, &C.,
founded upon the best information We
could obtain on the subject: The claim
was located by Capt Kidd for himself
md certain parties in San Francisco and
vas originally located as the northern ex-
tsnsion of the Coral Although We be
Eeve they now claim il to be entirely an
other ledge, considerable difference of
oninion appears to exist upon that sub

the two ledges being similar. Be that as
Il NAV. the two companies have no occa-
sion to quarrel upon the subject, for both
of them have as god a thing as they
want. whether they are upon the same OF
different lodges. The Amador is situated
IN the foot hills, two miles north Of San
Francisco Canon, and about eight miles
from this place. An open cut twenty
feet vide has enabled them 10 present a
fine face upon the ledge which, upon the
surface, is from eight to eleven feet in
width, and presents fine appearance.
The different strata are composed ul the
various descriptions Of the best payi~g
rock in the Territory, a large portion Of
which resembles the celebrated Gould &
Curry sulphurets. Assays have been
made from all portions Of the ledge, and
upon an average proved to exceed far in
richness any ledge yet discovered in this
Territory.
DIAxoxD LEDGE-This ledge is situa-
ted lust below town, north of the upper
grade and near the Reese River Antelope
An incline is down upon it forty-two feet,
at which depth the ledge is found to be
two and half feet in width and Of very
rich appearance. Some of the rock is be-

ELIZA ANDERSON LEDGE.-This claim is
situated in Upper Austin. a short dis.

and richness Of the large number Of ledgeS
taken up there, ard the number of men it
will require 10 work them, there is bound

somewhere in that vicinity, and the above
named gentlemen have exhibited con>il-
erable foresight in securing the most IA

BRICK FROM TIE GEN. GRANr.-We saw
yesterday, at the bank of Paxton 4
Thornburg, a silver brick. weighing
1926 ounces and valued at S423 Is, the

short distance north of the Seymour
ledge. 1t was discovered and located
last week by Linton and Cummings
An incline has been sunk to the depth of
about ten feet disclosing q beautiful
