t,;n hin situated and adjoining the American
Flat on the east, the said hill dividing the
American Canon from Gold Canon at the

templated northern line of the new district
shall intersect the western line Of the Devils
Gate Mining District; thence northwest by
compass or Whereabouts toward certain
prominent bluff of rock west of the OPhir
Grade, continuing on the said course untii
intersects the eastern line Of the Argentine
Mining District near the head of Crown Point
Ravine, centrally crossing the divide at the

from the north slope and into the American
Flat on the south, near the Carson Grade or
toll road, at n point about midway between
the Christie and India, and Gentle Annie
Mining Companies works the western line
10 commence at the northwest corner OF the
district, extending in Southwesteriy direc
ton along the eastern line OF the Argentine
District to the northwest corner of the Blue
Sulphur Springs Mining District; thence
along the northern line Of the Blue Sulphur
Springs District in an eaSterly direction, till
Il intersects the western line Of the Devils

direction along the western line Of the Dew

conflicting with the territory Of no old and
well established district, save and except the

sense OF the meeting, and unanimously |
adopted: Resoired, That we, the miners OF
American Flat, after having due notice given, |
do absolve ourselves from the Gold Hill Dis |
trict, BY our own act" A committee Of three |
was then appointed TO drat laws for the gov !
ernment of the new district, to be submitted
to the miners meeting on Wednesday even
ing next.
LOUISVILLE CoNrANY.-This company is |
situated on the eastern slope of American |
Flat, in Gold Hill District; it contains 400 |
fee. of ground, an incline has been sunk on
the ledge 20 feet, proving the ledge to be one
Of the best defined lodges in the District; at
the bottom of the incline the ledge was s feet |
wide; rock was taken out and crushed which |
satisfied the company Of the richness Of their |
claim, when the incline was abandoned and 4 |
double shaft sunk, so that 1t would strike the /
ledge about $50 feet deep; from every indica- |
ton the company will strike the ledge IN
few DAYS, when the ground will rapidly in- |
crease in value, as there is great probability !
that the Louisville Company have the Justice |
ledge. II not the Justice, the stockholders !
are satisfied it is as good Us the Justice.
IN DURANGO vILE.-F. Alton wheelock |
the Major-is in the Station House, in a
state Of absolute decrepitude. He was ar
rested for the offense Of passing under the |
name Of Fairfax, and expresses dctermina- |
ton to leave the Territory as soon as he re- !
gains his health and is released-TrgtRiG
Jmion. The thieying scoundrel had better !
die. He is one of the useless creatures !
that live. Too lazy to work. he Is natu- |
raj born thief and humbug. There Is not
town nor hamlet in this Territory he will !
not impose upon before he does leave; and |
when he leaves, we predict he will go to /.
Salt Lake. The vagabond is of no earthly /
account.
Misunderstanding for the First Regi- |
ment of Nevada Territory Mounted Volun-
teers is getting along finely. Fifteen more |
men for Company c (Capt. Hassett) were .
sent to Fort Churchill yesterday. About hf- .
teen more men are yet wanted to FL the quota |
Of this Company, which Capt. Hassctt has |
determined shall be the ranking one of the |
regiment. Capt. Briggs Company is about /
half full. The Companies Of Capts. Wallace, /
Kelly, Paul and Blake, are rapidly filing up. |
Those wishing, for the futures sake, to be /
able to saw that they had hand in this ''cru- /
81 war;" should hasten to enroll themselves |
in this crack regiment. |
Paul PRY.-This claim is located in Blue
Sulphur Springs District, near the Carson
road. They sunk on their lead to the depth I
of about ten feet, when they were driven out /
by water. They then started tunnel, which !
is now in TO the distance of forty feet II Is I
supposed that it will be necessary tn 90 one !
hundred feet further, when they expect n /
strike their lead at the depth OF one hundred |
feet below the surface. The rock from their /
vein contains considerable amount OF lime, i
and presents the notified appearance COM /
monty exhibited by rock from that district.
PrenIsTIc.-Bin Davis and Patsey Da-
lev, two "pugs" who honor our community /
with their presence, are making arrange |
ments we hear for a prize fight. They are /
/" big 'uns'' and have a large ring expert |
ence. The match between Bill DIVER and |
Mike Bradley has struck stump in its pro- |
gress. Dryer refusing to fight in California,
as Washoe's climate affects him disadvan-
tageouSly. while Bradley refuses to fight ex-
cep, in washoe, though he expresses viii |
lingness to compromise BY leaving the choice |
of place to toss.
SouArrER's TRoUBLEs.-There is likely to
be serious difficulty in the Truckee Mead
ows, from the fact that the land is coming |
into market, and outsiders have commenced |
jumping ranches, under the impression that !
tn, persons in possession, who have them |
enclosed, cannot hold more than one hun
dred and sixty acres. The question is an in |
tricate one, and its discussion will perhaps |
lead to riot and bloodshed. Parties go armed
and are ready to engage in the conflict at a
moments notice.
DIscHARGED.-F. Alton Wheelock, the
"Major," had hearing at l o'clock, this |
afternoon, before Judge Leconey. The evil |
dence against him, not being legally con-
elusive, he was discharged with a fatherly |
admonition. He has been very sick in the |
Station House, and his treatment has put the |
city to an expense of over 800. So Jack |
says.
ANOTHER VIGILANCE CoHHITTEE.-A
meeting of men to form Vigilance Commit
tee to drive away jumpers and "to protect |
old settlers in their rights" is called for to-
morrow evening at Huffaker's Ranch, and |
at washoe on the same evening, where they |
will meet in the Old PiIee Office. Poor |
Lovejoy, his promised end is just retribu-
ton I! |
LEcTrRE.-Rev. NJ. C. Briggs, of Saera-
mento, will deliver a lecture in the new
church of the Methodist Episcopqlians, cor
ner Of E and Taylor streets, this evening, on |
the subject Of Human Nature Read Back !
wards" The lecture will be for the benefit |
of the church. An admission Of one dollar |
