We clip the following from the Daily
Reese River Rcveille:
WASHINGTON LoDE.-One OF the highest
locations upon the sides Of PrometheWs
peak is the Washington. 1t is a good
name and good location, and the appear

SreS At the foot OF the hill. where are
located the North Star and Ethan Allen,
there seems to have been movement oI
the encasing rock, that has placed the
veins in an irregular position, while upon
the hill side, the Osceola and Washington
stand much nearer the perpendicular. and
appear very firm and regular. Upon the
Washington is shaft down to the depth
Of fftv.five feet from which is produced
some very fine ore, much Of it is valued at
four hundred dollars per ton. The lode
is quite thin. varying from eight to four
teen inches in thickness, seeming to make
M in quality what it lacks in quantity -
Besides the main shaft sunk upon the
5ode, considerable other work has been
done in making cuts and running tunnels
in tracing the ledge, and its course and po
Aition is known throughout the location.
Mr.. Miller, the Superintendent, is cary
hing on the work with care and Judgment.
MoLIroR CoNPANY, PARROT LEDGE. -
The shaft OF the Moltor Company is de
veloping a very fine ledge. 1t is now
down to the depth Of eighty feet. and is
steadily progressing. At the surface the
lode is five feet in width and the quartz
rs there worth about forty five dollars per
ton. Throughout the entire depth the
lode maintains its full width, with great
regularity, and the rock presents an IN
crcasingly favorable appearance. Should
the Molitor improve upon reaching water,
as all other claims in this vicinity have,
its size aud great regularity will give it
great prominence amoag the Iich mircs

rich rock raised by the CIe,uS Company,
from their ledge on Lanlor Hill. Their
lode has always been very regular, though
small, and h1s contained great deal OF
iron, with considerable silver. At the
present depth the iron is passing out, tn"
lode is increasing in size and very Iich
spots aud Strcaks Of h,acs su,phnrct and
ruby silver are found. The owners are
highly cIatcl with their prospects, and
drive the woih forward steadily.
