From our friend w. W. Shelhv, We
CLEAN the following news of WaShoe and
vicinity. Business for the Spring opens
very finely, and activity in the variou-
branches prevails to an extent which
makes all residents feel thar better days
are coming.

crue in the valley are milk for the reduc-
zion of silver ore. The Buckeye mill. run

ATcHrSsON's MILL.
This mill is located on the creek near

owned by the New York Mill and Mining
Company. and superintendent by Col. D.
E. Avery, Is a tr>t-class mill. l. has
twenty -four stamps, sixteen OF NarneYS
pans, and eight settlers. The motive
power Is by both steam and water. the
water being furnished through a ditch
from the lake. and a ;ir>t-clasS sixty-horse
power engine furnishing the requisite
power whenever water becomes scarce, as
Il sometimc,imcs does during the Summer

j. run by both st-am and water power.
IL runs sixteen stamps, twelve wheeler
pans, and six settlers, and is. in all re-
spec:s, a frst-class mill.
COAL PROSPECTS.
y company has been formed at Washoe
20 prospect for coal, and shaft has been
sunk 10 considerable depth. without.
however. striking the vein. At the pres
cIt time the company are boring for the
LEAD, with no very brilliant prospects OF
success, and the probability is that coal
will never become a staple product. The
mines around Ws>hoe are not proving ~
r!ch IN mineral a could be desired. and
the famous Ghlena lode has suspended
operations for the present. AT Galena,
four miles from Wa-hoT, the lumber trade
hs- been quite prosperous during the
winter months. but IS little dull at pres
snr.
RAScHIS6.
The prospects OF the farmers IN the
whole valley. from the Fruckse TO Frank
iowa. were never better, and large crops
have been sowr. which will doubtless
simply repay the hu>bandmen. In fact,
the general appearance of all kinds Of in
dustry IN Ws>hoe county Is most fatter-
ing. aud ha~ our be>, wishes for success
