T. one hundred miles west of Reese River,

In January Of this year there were one
undred and twenty five quartz mills in
pcration in Nevada, which were erected
IT cost ranging from $4,000 to $780,
100. About three-fourihs of the quartz
mills of Nevada are driven by steam, and
the balance by water power. Of the en-
tire number, four-6fths are in the vicinity
Of Virginia. There is an average of one
hundred mills in constant operation
these will carry, on an average, ten stamps
each, making one thousand, with capacity
for crushing one thousand tons per day
This ore will yield at the rate Of $50 per
ton, giving daily production of $50, 900,
or $l5,00O,000 per annum.

The New State of Nevada.

The territory of Nevada, which has just
been admitted to the Union as State by
President Lincoln, was organized in
March, 1861. For this purpose about ten
thousand square miles was appropriated
from the Northern extremity of California,
aad about seventy thousand from Western
Utah. At the time of its organization
the territory possessed population of
very near y seven thousand white settlers.
The development Of her mineral resources
was rapid and almost without parallel, and
attracted constant stream of immigration
to the territory. As the population has
not been subject to the fluctuations from
which o her territories have suffered the
growth Of Nevada has been rapid and stea-
dy. At the general convention election
of 1868, nearly eleven thousand votes
were cast. During the present year great
accessions to the population have been
made.
Nevada is probably the richest State in
the Union i'll respect to mineral resources.
No region in the world is richer in argen-
tiferous leads These leads are found
scattered over the entire Washoe country,
the richest of which is that known as the
Comstock lead, of Virginia City. The To-
calties of the other principa mines in the
region east of the Sierra Nevada are the
Esmerald mines, one hundred miles south
southeast of Virginia; the Humboldt ore
hundred and sixty miles northeast the
Silver Mountain, sixty miles south Pea
rlpe, thirty miles north, and the Reese rv-
er country, one hundred and seventy miles
east northeast, embracing many districts,
and fauked by two of more than ordina-
ry promise-the Cortez, seventy miles
north and the San Antonio, one hundred
miles south of Austin, now the principal
town oU the Reese river.
A few months ago another deposit of
mineral wealth was brou ht to light, which
has proved of incalculable value to the sill.
vcr mines. This was an immense basin
OF salt, five miles square, near the sink Of
the Carson River. This basin, says ger.
tlenian, who writes from Virginia City,
appears once to have been the bottom of a
lake, and the salt is found good even on
the surface. A covering of about three
inches is loose and Indifferent; but be-
meath tbs, for depth of fourteen feet,
pure ro1k salt is found as clear as ice, and
white Gas the river snow" Beneath
there is water, which seems to be filtered
through salt for an unknown depth. The

A GREAT RAILROAD UNDERTAKING.
The work of tunueling the Alps for
railroad purposes is SO slow, compared
with the necessities of internal trade and
travel between France aud Italy, that it is
contemplated to build railroad over the
mountains on Que of the military roads
constructed by the first Napoleon. The
tunnel will not be completed in less than
twelve years, but the railroad can be built
in two. When it is remembered that the
summit of the pass through the mountains
is 1000 feet above the level of the sea,
with gradients at some points of one in
twelve, the descent equally rapid, the diff
fcuties of the undertaking may be ina
gined. A locomotive expressly for such
asccnts and descents has been constructed
The railway will be covered with galleries
of wood, iron and stone, to protect it from
avalanches aud snow drifts. The project
has been favorable received b. the Italian
government, and English capitalists pro-
pose to build it, 1t will shorten the over
land route TO India five hundred miles,

Election Incidents and Wagers.

Some curious wagers were made on the
result of the late election. A citizen of
Trenton, N. j., in case Mcclellan carried
the State, was, on all the pleasant days of
week, which he had the reserved right to
select, ITO eat frugal dinner on the steps
of the courthouse, said dinner to be served
to him by bootblacks in the filthiest state
of dilapidation. In Chicago an ox-U. S.
marshal will, according to the terms of his
wager, be compelled to pay for and eat
four dinners with such colored com pany as
the fortunate winner Of his wages may Sc
lect. In Bing champion, N. Y, there is
lady whose suitor was a strong supporter
Of Mcclellan. So certain was he of his
favorite being the favorite of the people
that he proposed to his sweetheart that in
case of Lincoln's election be would prom
enade the public streets, at high noon, with
large placard on his back inscribed
"Sold," never dreaming that he would
have to fulfil his promise. But on We'd
nesday last, having discovered his mistake,
he was forced to execute his promenade,
much to his own disgust and to the de-
light of small boys aud REIMBURSEMENT of
children of larger growth. The New York
Sun mentions several other wagers as fol-
lows:
One man, democrat, bet that Mcclellan
would be elected. Iu the event of his los
ing he was to saw and split cord of wood
at certain hour in the day, in front of
one of the principal hotels; aud in case
he failed to do his work, even to the last
stick, he was to forfeit $3.50 Another
promised to walk mile and a half bare
foot, in case bis. candidate is not elected,
the penalty, in case Of failure being hun
dred dollars third is to wheel barrow
filled with stones and earth through the
streets, or forfeit five hundred dollars; a
fourth, a republican, promises to wear
most ridiculously made hat during the
folr years Of Office of the successful capdi-
date, and as the said candidate was his
man, there is but little doubt but he wants
to advertise himself as Lincoln man,
and probably hopes thus to get a fat Of
fee. .

SWEEPING THE STREETS OF New YORK
ClTY,-Very few persons have any con.
eeption of the magnitude OF the work to
be performed in cleaning the streets of a
large city like New York. The Herald,
in an article on the subject, remarks:
There are 26s miles of paved streets in
this city, averaging thirty-three feet in
width. This gives an area of ,139 acres
to be clea.ed. The city inspector has the
whole area swept twice every fortnight;
about one,quarter is swept three times
$40 acres are cleaned six times, and rs
acres twelve times, in the same space of
time. This is equivalent cleaning 1868
acres once in two weeks. In addition to
this work the ash carts traverse every mile
of the streets, on each side, every day,
Sundays excepted. This is equivalent to
traverslag 536 miles day, and conveys
some idea Of the extent of this magnificent
metropolis. The expense for street clean
ing last year Was $399, 223.

RIDICULOUS WAeERs.-Ag gentleman
IN Twenty-third street, New York, for
his faith in McClellan's popularity, will
have to make an equestrian tour of Gen.
trail Park some Sunday, at noon, arrayed
in crinoline and all the other feminine
"fxngs." To comply with the terms of
another bet, gentleman in Forty-frst
street will have to drive three of his horses,
tandem, attached to an oyster cart, from
the Battery t" Macomb's dam. A third
gentleman, who lives in Brooklyn, will
have to wear for year beaver hat two

THE "BLooMERs" IN SEssIoN.--It

Mrs. Jones made speech and argued that
men had no right to rule women, and that
women should dictate. In closing, she
prayed for the good time coming, when
lady could wear what she pleased, do what
she pleased, 60 where she pleased, and re-
