MINING EXCITEMENT.

There was considerable excitement in
Gold Hill and American Flat yesterday,
caused by the miners in the Rock Island
mine, out at American Flat, having struck
ledge of very rich rock. The Justice
mine also struck some rich rock; and a
few others are daily expecting to develop
something rich. We have plenty of mines
in this neighborhood which are partially
developed. like the Rock Island, but
which have been lying idle, owing to the
want of money to go on with the work.
Stocks in many of these mines can now
be bought reasonably cheap, and which it
would do well to invest in, rs most Of
them will commence operations next
Spring, and their stock will accordingly
enhance in value. The Comstock lead,
upon which many of these undeveloped
mines are located, has hardly begun to be
fairly prospected; at least such is the
opinion of many of our practical miners.
Those who are DESTROYS of making invest
ments in our mines, could never have had
a better opportunity; and as the presen,

corpse can be readily detected.

to confess that. except a Fourth of July
celebration, there can hardly be more
pleasant entertainment than Burns Fes-
tival; and we expect the one to be given

THE NEW COUNTY.

Petitions for the division of Storey
county. and the creation of new county
on, of the present territory of Gold Hill,
are now in circulation. and are being
signed by our citizens without exception.
The bill for such law win, as matter Of
course, be referred to the Storey county
delegation. and the Legislature will be
guided in its action by the report of that
delegation, There being perfect unan-
unity of sentiment in this community, the
representatives of Gold Hill will undoubt-
edly act as an unit in the matter. There
appears to be no objection to the measure
in Virginia. On the contrary, the Union.
which is the only paper in that city which
has given expression upon the subject in
Inmates that separation would meet the
views Of the people of Virginia. Under
these circumstances, we may reasonably
expect majority, if not unanimous, re-
port of the Storey delegation in favor o
the measure. We have not yet seen thu
bill as prepared by Mr.. Bishop. Wher
we last communicated with that gentle,
man tine bill was not complete in all par
ticuiars. We shall obtain copy Of it al
the earliest possible moment, and lay ii
before our readers that al may be in
formed of the plan upon which it is pro-
posed to conduct the affairs of the new
county.

until June, is disagreeable announce

Cain and t,.iuare.

The interest which has been for many
wears displayed in this country in the
study of our own numismatic history con.
tinues undated, and it is remarkable
fact that many new discoveries have been
made In the subject. Itwould seem that
the brief period during which we have
been nation or people, distinct from
other nations of the world, could not have
left in obscurity any portion Of our nu-
mismatic history. Yet the fact is, that
coins have been in use in this country
within hundred years, of the origin Of
which no man can give any information.
1t is important therefore, that every one
who possesses, either in manuscript or in
family tradition, any trustworthy informa-
ton with regard to an American coinage,
should communicate it to some person
interested in the subject, to the end that
it may be permanently preserved. The
study devoted to this subject by gentle.
men within the past few years has elected
much valuable information. ~
We are in receipt of many letters asking
questions about Washington cents" and
there seems to be peculiar interest fel,
in these coins because Of the universal
veneration of the people for the Father Of
his Country. We can save number Of
our readers and correspondents consid-
cradle amount of trouble and anxiety by
giving them briefly some information,
which will answer many questions.
No Washington copper coin, bearing
date 1888, is very rare, or especially worth
keeping. One variety is very common,
the dies being in existence in England
now, and the coins constantly produced
to order. The Washington cent Of 1871
with large eagle reverse, is valuable, and
the price of it varies from three to seven
or ten dollars, according to the condition
of the specimen. If the reverse be what il
called the small eagle, it is much more
rare and valuable, the price being from
Sl5 to $25.
The copper Washington coin Of 1892,
which is of the highest rarity, is not 6
cent, although often called the cent o.
1892. 1t is a pattern half dollar, nevel
adopted for use. In silver it Is called thu
half dollar, and in copper it is about
equally rare, bringing, when sold. vari.
GUS prices according to the fancy of col
| lectors.
These are the only copper coins o.
Washington which will be at all likely tc
fall into the hands of any of our readers
who are not collectors of coins, and THU
information, properly borne in mind, viii
render unnecessary numerous letters ad
dressed to US on the subject.
But why can we not have the head o
Washington on our coinage nows Tn,
cent is the coin in most common use, anC
on that it ought to be placed. We re
spectfully urge it on the attention Of thu
director of the mint. Let US have a few
patterns with the head of Washington
submitted to the Treasury Department,
and do good thing by thus adopting tn,
memory of Washington as a special ma
tional object of veneration.-N, Y. Joerna

GALL RIGHT IN THB SPRING. THE S,
F. Cal, in an article upon the "dull
times" says:
1.-THE interior roads are impracticable I;
miners have their winters stores in ;
mountain traders are selling of their sup.
plies. and Washoe is almost sealed re-
gion. But with the opening of Spring,
trade will revive; merchandise win be
bought by interior merchants with the
money they are now accommodating from
the miners; the lucky fellows will COM
mence to visit the metropolis and scatter
their loose change around, and Washoe
may again condescend to forward her sill
yer bars by the ton. Speaking of Washoe
reminds US that the present dull season is
made duller on account of the presence
here, from Nevada, of all or moot of the
surplus population of that State. This
creates an over-supply of labor for our
market; and hence there is more than the
usual number Of idle men paradlng our
streets at the most inauspicious season of
the year at which they could possibly
strike our city. When spring sets in,
however, they viii all scatter; Just equi-
librium will he restored business will
become brisk; improvements will in
crease the foundries will be in full blast;
work OF all kinds win become active, and
every branch of industry will prosper ex-
cepting one, and that is, as everybody
knows, the ever-to- be-requited toll Of
publishing newspapers. That is an in
dustry for which

EASTERN FINANCES

AT latest Eastern dates the Stock Mat.
ke, at New York had been dull, and rail-
way and miscellaneous We're much lower.
Government securities, however, had un-
dergone decided improvement and con-
siderable rise took place in the gold bear
ing portion of the debt, owing partly to
the supposition that Secretary Fessenden
would soon withdraw all loans from the
market except the currency seven-thirties.
Subscriptions to the ten-forties (slx per
cent. bonds, interest payable in gold) had
been very brisk and 81, 0OO,0 900 were taken
at New York alone, in two days. Some
$4,000, 900 of the 5000, 600, 900 author
lied by Congress had already been SUBJ
scribed for and it was believed that no
further subscriptions would be received.
1t seems to be the intention of the Gov
eminent to stop the further issues of gold
interest bonds. Mr.. Fessenden, in his
circular issued the 18th of December, re-
marks that desiring to avoid any fur
Their issue Of bonds, the interest of which
is payable in coin, or any further increase
of paper circulation, I ask your special at
tention to the seven and three-t enths notes
now offered to the public" He also re.
proaches the National Banks for their
want of patriotism in not pushing this
currency loan, and says that in extending
to National Banks authority to obtain
subscriptions and the offer of liberal COM
missions for services performed it was ex.
pected that, especially connected as they
are with the Government, and pro6tins
by that connection, they would have been
stimulated to such exertions as would in
sure success. Before resorting TO Other
agencies. the Secretary therefore appeals
again to the National Banks, in the hope
that they will undertake this most neces-
sary work with spirit and energy which
will demonstrate that the reorganized fis.
cal agents of the Government may at all
times be relied on for adequate exertions
to procure the means necessary to its daily
wants.

FLUCTUATIONS IN GOLD.

II may be of some interest to note the
extreme fluctuations in Gold since the
first year of the war. In January, 1862,
Gold was at premium Of Il f cent,
but soon fell to only IF cent. above par.
From this point it advanced TO 1871 r.
cent, or 81 u cent. premium en- the LIST
of October, and closed on the Slst De
cember at 1874 If cent. On the Gath OF
February, 1868. it further advanced to
l724; but on the 26th of March Favorable
news having been received from the South
west it went down to l40A; and in
twelve days, on the receipt Of less favor
able news from that quarter, it rose to
l5si.
A few days later, upon the report OF the
iron-clad attack upon For Sumter it fell
10 lag, and on the receipt of the iutelli-
gence Of the surrender of Port Hudson to
1884. On the 10th of October it advanced
TO l54. but reached no higher point dur
ing that year (lS63). On the lst of Janu-
ary, 1864, it opened at l52, rose to lss on
April l4th, and fell to l67 on the 18th Of
the same month. On the passage Of the
Gold bill, June ed. it rose to 230, and
fell next day to 2l5. On the lst Of July
it went up to 2s5, but on the following
day, the Gold bill having been repealed,
it fell to 220. On the 1lth of the same
month i, rose again to 2si. and on the
18th it receded to pa. and after various
fluctuations dropped September 18th to
1877. advancing on November Sth to 254.
then declining to 2lO as above stated. and
rallying December 23d to 225. At latest
telegraphic advices It stood at about 200.
