THE EVENING NEWS.

was had among miners, brokers and bust.
ness men in Virginia and Gold Hill, rela.
tive to the reported discovery of several
rich quartz lodges in the desert range Of
mountains beyond the Truckee. We re.
Trained from publishing any of the thou
sand flash rumors that were current: bu,
last evening we had the good fortune to
meet Mr.. Osborn, the Recorder of the dis
trict, from whom We gather the following
particulars, which we have every reason
to believe are the simple truths relative to
this new Ell Dorado: About the first OF
January Mr.. James Say, of Virginia, and
T. Williams, Of San Francisco, while
prospecting, found and located series Of
lodges, the principal of which is styled
the Rothschild. These lodges are situated
in a range Of mountains about six miles
west of the famous Hot Springs, well
known to all who have passed over the
old emigrant road, and about twelve miles
east of the Truckee river. This range of
mountains runs nearly north and south,
and the lodges are situated west of north
and east of south, the groupings being
well defined, and the lodges being from
four to six feet in thickness on the sur
face, and showing large amount of ore
to the proportionate quantity of quartz
assays made from the same giving a work
ing basis of from 1925 to $500 per ton.
Two miles north of the Rothschild Co. 8
ledge, MeSsrs. Fisher and Osborn, about
two weeks since located four lodges, named
the Pacific series, which bear close re-
semblanee to the one first found in that
district, and which assays equally as well.
Abou one year since the Indians brought
some iery rich quartz to the Truckee set
item, ats, and were sent back by three
white men to make location; the requi-
site notice being furnished them and all
instructions as to driving stakes for the
lines. and other usual preliminaries for
securing the claim. Those Indians never
reported their work. but less than month
since Mr.. Sickles run across the ledge,
found the original notice sticking on the
stake, and of course located the ledge,
styling it The Little Natchez, which in
size is superior to any yet found in the
district. 1t IS located on the western
slope of the mountains, and is owned by
parties in this town and Virginia. Mr..
Chaplin, of Virginia, gentleman whose
word is beyond suspicion, assured US that
from the ore of this ledge, taken at short
depth below the surface, he pounded to
powder twelve ounces, which, when as
saved, produced six ounces of metal
worth as by SAID assay the sum of two
dollars and twenty-seven cents. Speci-
mems of the ore which we saw, appear to
be very rich in lead, (or Galena ore) sill
Yer, iron. and sprinkling of andmony
and copper, and very closely resembling
ore that We have seen from the Galena
lode near Washoe City. Mr.. Osborn,
who has been selected as Recorder of the
new district, kindly furnished US with
these interesting particulars, and informs
us that he will, on Monday next, return
there and commence work on his claim,
taking with him men and utensils neces-
sary for the thorough prospecting thereof.
All the lodges viii at once be worked, and
as mill, spoken of yesterday, is to be
erected forthwith at Hot springs, we shall
soon know of the value Of those mines for
which so much are claimed by the owners.
At any rate, we will feel as sanguine as
any body of our future prospects, and
shall feel very willing to welcome good
portion of bullion from the Truckee dis
trict.
