DESERT CoNPANIEs.-We understand,
says the Union of yesterday, that Mr.. j. W.
yelling, Superintendent Of the Cleopatra,
Mark Antony and Robert Ellis claims, Desert
District, will leave to morrow morning for
Desert City, accompanied BY several men
and load Of tools and provisions. 1t is the
intention Of these companies to sink shafts
on their respective lodges distance of fifty
or a hundred feet, in order TO ascertain If the
lodges are as rich below as on the surface.
II the promise of the groupings continue,
several hundred tons of the rock will be got
out and teamed to Dayton or Gold Hill for
milling.
WATER STRrcx. All interested in the
Desert District will be glad to learn that on
Friday last water was struck in well about
a mile from Desert City, at depth Of only
eight feet. The water is little brackiSh in
taste, but people out there cannot afford to
be fastidious in taste. This well, which
promises to be of itself a small fortune, is
owned by the Desert City Company. We
give the above on the authority Of Mr.. W. H.
Nichols, one Of the Desert City owners, who
received it in a letter from Mr.. c. l. Chaffee,
under whose superintendent the well was
sunk
The New 0ELEANs.-Tery excellent ore
has Just been struck in the New Orleans
claim. Specimens of the ore examined by US
seemed to be exceedingly rich in the Sulphu-
ret Of silver. These black patches and
streaks of ore occur in white quartz, exactly
similar in appearance to the quartz found in
the claims Of the Comstock. The shaft Of
the company is on Mount 0phir, almost di-
rectly west of the 0phir Company's works,
and is now down 2sS feet As soon as a suf-
fcient amount of ore is taken out for crush
ing it will be sent to 4 mill.
The WEEKS BuLLIoN.-The bullion sent
below BY MeSSrS. Wells, Fargo & Co., during
the past week, has amounted to nearly three
and a quarter tOnS-6,S:}S poundS-of the
estimated value of Sl73,059 80, being con-
siderable falling off in the weekly shipment
Of several weeks past. We are inclined to
81 hat hts i manner
connected with the heavy cost of freight by
this mode of shipment. Considerable guam
titles of bullion, we have reason to believe,
are sent BY other conveyanceS.-BHHetiR.
ANOTHER GIFT ENTERrAISNEST.-Mr Mr..
Wright is getting ready for another GIFT En-
tertainment, to be drawn on the 39th Of
April, in which the prizes will amount to
$4,000. The first prize will be two shares
in the Gould < Curry the second, 81 600 IN
gold coin; the third, 4 silver brick, worth
~, 900; and the balance to consist Of dia-
Inonds, watches, jewelry, &C., &c. He has
opened an Office on C street, Virginia, under
the International Hotel.
HEAyY.-The calendar Of Judge Leconey's
court was unusually heavy. MeManus, Tight
ing, discharged. NJ. Monoghen, for the same
HIS jail. ShiAthS
demeanor, fined S25. W. Baldwin, disturb
ing the peace, forfeited bail. W. Delaney,
do, fined $40. H. Black and James Camp

bail. T. Hanlon, diSorderly conduct, fined

MAYFLowER & ALIEN CONSOLIDATED
Some very good rock has lately been found
in this claim. The lead is situated short
distance below Silver City on the Hill west Of
the Phoenix Mills. When first struck, the
lead was only Ave to six inches thick, but it
has now, at a depth Of fifteen feet, widened
out to three feet.
FEARFUL ISJrRIEs.-Mr. Nicholson, the
man who fell down the shaft on the Nelson
claim, as reported in the Bulletin on Thurs
day last, sustained such fearful injuries thai
little, if any, hopes are entertained of his re-
coyery. The unfortunate mans spine was
broken BY the fall.
LIBERAL CoMaUNITY.-Aecording to the
Independent, Carson City did not give cent
dime, or dollar to the Sanitary Fund or cleo
ton day. The Carson Independent must
have power of infienee at home-orer the
left. 1t is now welcome to its glory in help
ing to defeat the Constitution.
DR. PERRY's CLAIM.-Work on this claim
is progressing as rapidly as possible. The
shaft is now down fifty feet, and as will be
seen by an advertisement in to-day's paper,
they advertise for contract to sink it to
water level. They expect to strike that point
at about one hundred feet below the surface.
FUNNY FELLows.-Two Virginia sports
having more of a desire to kill time than
themselves, had a mock duel late last Satur-
day. They exchanged four or FIVE shots
when one Of them fell, as if shot. The affair
was witnessed by hundreds, who were greatly
excited, thinking that it was real.
