Reese River Items.

The following items of mining intelligence
are from the Reese River RereiHe of last
Saturday:
VICTOR EMANUEL CoMPANY.-At recent
meeting of the stockholders of this company,
S. P. Roberts, of this place, was elected Su-
perintendent. The appointment is good
one as Mr.. Roberts is an energetic and relia-
bic business man. The stock of this compa-
ny is held by some Of the wealthiest capital
lists in San Francisco, and they have great
confidence in the richness of their ledge.
The Victor Emanuel is situated near Tesoro.
DIyIDESD.-The Perseverance Company,
Warner & Wells ledge have declared divi-
dend Of 10 cents upon every share of their
capital stock. Their claim was located only
few weeks since, and this dividend is the
result of the crushing Of only 2, l60 pounds Of
top rock. Pretty good that.
MORE BrLLIoS.-White & Bonestel ship
ned between 100 and l 200 ounces Of bull
lion on Thursday. The bars were made by
Veateh & Co The metal was taken from
ore from the North Star and Black lodges.
Veatch 4 Co. inform US that more bullion is
sent below at present than Mt any time here
tofore. They have about 800 ounces at pre-
sent to melt.
Bay City company are down with an incline
l6 feet and have ledge fully two feet in
width. This claim is situated about one mile
south of town and is supposed to be an ex-
tension of the Tesoro, so we are informed by
the acting Superintendent, Mr.. Millchops.
RrxSISG.-Yesterdaya and the day before
nearly all the mills in the canon were hard
at work crushing rock fromvarious claims.
GoLD.-We were Yesterday shown very
fine specimen of gold quartz from Washing
ton District. 1t showed gold about the sur
face in large quantities.
WATER STRIKE.-Water was struck YES
terday in the Florida incline, at the depth Of
about eighty feet. 1t has not yet entered in
sufficient quantity to retard work.

A Letter from the D sert District.
DEsERr DIsrR1cr, Jan. ga, 1864.

DESERT DISTRICT, Jan. I'd, 1864.
EpIToRs GOLD HILL NEws:- As this
new district is creating quite an excitement,
! it will no doubt be interesting to your readers
to know something of the country and its
locality. The main lcdges Of this district are
situated in the first range Of hills west of the
Forty-mile Desert six miles west of Bate
mans Station, or the Slough Ferry, and
about twenty-five miles north of Cutters Sta
ton, known as the Centeryille House, on
Carson river; and have learned from re-
sponsible men that it is about twenty-five
miles south of east from the Lower Crossing
| of the Truckee river on the old emigrant
road. There is no water nearer than Bate
mans Station, and no water privileges suf-
| ficient for miles, nearer than Carson or
, Truckee rivers, which is about twenty-five
miles to the nearest point of either. The
water privileges are the best on Truckee, but
Carson has the advantage of roads.
We have no wood here except greasewood.
The nearest timber is on Carson river the
only kind there being cottonwood, and that
not very plenty. l have been told that there
is plenty of timber five or six miles west of
Truckee river, which makes it that muCh
| further from the mines.
The mines have every indication Of being
extensive and permanent, and all the lodges
that have been proSpectcd ut all have proved
very rich. The Almaden Company had
about one ton Of quartz from the Enterprise
Ledge worked at Gold Hill, which yielded
well. The Peytonia Company are now work
ing quartz from the Peytonia Ledge with an
araStra, with every indication of a large yield,
and many other lodges have asSayed largely,
but | know of no others that have had any
quartz worked. Two town sites have been
SURVEYED, and several houses have been built
and are building in each. The town adjacent
and in front of the main lodges is called Su-
perior CITY; the other, which lies Immediate
" north of Superior City. is called Desert
CITY. There are wells being sunk in each
town, but no water has been struck up to this
date. There are men now making topo-
graphical survey of the country from the
mines to Truc6ee river. for the purpose of
carving water from that river through to the
mines. At this date there are some two
hundred men engaged in prospecting and
working on the lodges in this district.
Mr.. James Say, the discoyerer of this dis
trict, showed ME some specimens OF coal
groupings, which he discovered some fifteen
or twenty miles north of these mines, which
old coal miners say indicate rich coal fields.
There has been extensive locations made for
coal mining purposes in that vicinity, but
being myself ignorant of coal mining, shall
not give my opinion on that point.

Two Men KILLED.-We have been in
formed that two men, Henry Elkins and his
nephew, were shot at place known as Hack
ett's Canon, in Pine Nut Valley, locality
about IL miles this side Of Carson City, on
Saturday last, under the following circum-
stances, as near as we can learn: 1t appears
that the two men shot owned wood ranch
at the place, on which company Of charcoal
burners had cut down number of trees for
burning. The two men, in company with a
third, went to the place to drive the charcoal
men off the ground. Elkins and his nephew
were both killed, the other man, whose ma ne
we did not learn, made his escape.-BulIetin

To INFLUENCE YORKSHIRE despatch in
to-day's news, relative to the report that
LongStreet has made overtureS to the Gov
eminent TO surrender, is, without doubt,
manufactured out of whole cloth BY the Cop
perheads. After stating that Longstreet was
willing to lay down his arms, the despatch
says that the agent or commissioner Of our
Government insisted on terms so harsh and
degrading that the rebel General declared
he and his people would fight to the last
rather than submit to them. The object Of
circulating so transparent roorback is plain.
The Opposition hope, by this unfoundcd re-
port, to bolster up their oft-repeated asSer-
ton that the Administration desires to
lengthen out the war that it will not live up
to the spirit of its proclaimed amnesty, and
that it will follow all the Rebels-those that
are penitent as well as those that are con-
tumacious-with fire and sword. We don't
believe, in the first place, that Longstreet
ever made any proposition to surrender; and,
if he did, it was accompanied with terms
that were altogether inadmissable on our
parts. F. Call, Jan. %.

CHOICE OF DEATHs.-A singular law ex-
lists in Utah Territory, granting to criminals
under capital sentence choice Of deaths.
They may elect to be hanged, to be shot, or
to be beheaded. In the case Of Jason R.
Luce, who was executed at Salt Lake, on the
18th instant, for the murder Of Samuel Bun
ton, the prisoner declined, at the time of SEN
tence, to make any choice, so the presiding
Judge had himself to determine the mode Of
execution. He ordered him to be shot, and
and, at the hour appointed, he was taken
to the Courthouse yard, and yolley Of five
shots were fired at him from the windows of
basement, where the executioners were con-
cealed from view. All the shots penetrated
Luce's breast, and he fell over, corpse.
Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1864-01-26

REDUCING ORES.-The present method of
working ores in our best mills docs not sue
coed in saving more than proportion of the
metals they contain, and the tailings which
float down the various ravines below these
establishments bear with them an almost in
credible amount of mineral. We are in
formed by gentleman who was engaged in
extracting silver from tailings in Gold Hill
Canon about two years ago, that he could
have made the business very profitable one,
sometimes realizing fifteen or twenty dollars
to the ton. But the proprietors of mills
above his establishment refused to let him
have their tailings, not wishing to have it
known how much silver was lost in their
process of reducing rock. One hundred dol
lars per month was not a sufficient induce
ment for them to allow him to proceed, and
he was compelled to abandon the business.
Facts like these show what is evident even
upon casual observation, that the most APP
proved processes now in use here are very
crude, and that there is at least room for IL
provement. Thousands, and perhaps millions
Of dollars are lost annually now, which might
be saved if working rock was thoroughly
understood. There is but little doubt but
that inventions in this line will keep pace
with other improvements, and that in few
wears, quartz which now yields only twenty
five dollars per ton will then yield ffty, and
that rock which is now absolutely worthless
will then pay for crushing.-tmon.
