rMprR1AL CONSOLIDATED CO.,
NV TRUCKEE DISTRICT.

The discovery of lodges of argentterous
palena, of almost unparalleled richness
within a comparatively short distance OF
this point, is exciting much interest; and
brief account of the principal lodges may
prove interesting to our readers. They
are situated about on the line of Humboldt
and Churchill counties, and are distant
from. Virginia about seventy miles. The
district is designated as the New Truckee.
The mines are about fifteen miles distant
from the Ttuckee river, to which a good
wagon road of easy grade can be construct
ed for about two thousand dollars. At
this point there is an abundance of wood
for smelling purposes. The mine of which
we have the most detailed information, is
that of the Imperial Consolidated company.
This company has located a claim, having
for its area l,600 feet wide by 1880 feet
long. The company claim all the lodges
upon this ground. The lodges thus far
exposed are denominated the Perley, the
Lambert and the Sickles. The Perley
ledge has been opened to the depth OF. ten
feet and is now five feet wide, gradually
increasing at the rate of three or four
inches per foot as it descends, with re-
markably and well defined walls. The
Sickles is now being opened, and appears
to run into the Perley. 1t is twenty-five
feet wide. OF the rock taken from the
Perley ledge, at the depth of ten feet, four
and three quarter tons yield, by smelling,
one ton of argentlferous galena, worth by
assay Sl,755 SO. Two certificates of assay
of the rock, by Harris of this place, and
Theall of Virginia, are before us. The
first shows 1882 81 per ton; the latter
1886 "a. A working process shows
result of S373 81. The galena thus OBJ
tanned, if shipped to Swansea for more
perfect working than can be given TO it
here. would give heavier returns, as the
lead and other metals contained therein
will very considerably more than cover all
cost of transportation. At the present
depth of the Perley, Mr.. Swenson, the Su-
perintendent, informs US that he can
easily take out ten tons of rock per day
with six hands. The ground of the Gold
Hill and Virginia Prospecting company
adjoins the Imperial ground. The lodges
in the vicinity, now opened and their
value demonstrated, stand in about the
following order of value: the Perley, the
Rothschilds, the Valley, the Northern
Light and Moonlight series, the Morning
Star series, and the Pacific series. There
are hundreds of other locations; but the
above named constitute all the lodges &C.
tually developed. The Imperial company
are driving matters with all possible dis
patch. They have no stock in the market,
and are doing their business quietly and
among themselves. A meeting of the
stockholders is to be held this evening,
and the Superintendent desires us to re-
quest full attendance.

Semi official accounts from Chihuahua of
the present state of the national government

is no foundation for the report which came
from the City of Mexico that President Jua-
rez was in Alamos, Sonora. The President

had no disposition to leave that city. He was
busily engaged i'll the reorganization of the
army to open new campaign in the present
year, which promises TO be more successful
than the former one. The important victories

THE Chestnut Street Society hold their
Leyee this evening at the City Hall. The re-
hearsal Of the Tableaux has exhibited scenes
Of great interest. We doubt if any Sculptor's
Studio ever exhibited more excellent group
ofstatuary than the "Orphans" and the "Ma-
DONNA" while "Burn's Highland Mary" is just
from the chisel of the artist. Would any one
wish to realize Longfellow's wild song of Hia-
watha, let him see the Indian brave wooing
the beautiful Minnehaha; or, if his fancy would
revel in Oriental scenes, he can have glimpse
of tae Harem of the Sultan; or see Grant
crowned by the Goddess of Liberty.
Besides the attraction of these living pic
lures, there will be an excellent supper for all
who wish to pay for what is served up from
the ample bill OF fare. A Post Office, Gift
Tree, and Fancy Table will present rich at
fractions.
Shaw's Quartette Club will discourse their
stirring melodies in the intervals If the coun-
terfeit presentment of sour Jewels" the
"War scenes of the present time,' &c.
