FROM MEADOW LAKE.-We were this
morning shown a specimen of ore from
the California ledge, in this district, by
Mr.. Roberts, which was nearly pure gold.
He says that plenty of the same kind is
found all through the ledge, and thinks
that all the companies having locations
upon it have got as good ore as has ever
yet been found. Much work is being done
upon the ledge by different companies,
and considerable ore is already taken out
and ready to be hauled off and worked.
Great difficulty, however, is yet expert
enced by the miners for want OF tools.
The employees of the Lincoln Company
have had to suspend work on the ledge
for want Of the necessary tools to work
the hard quartz. The men, are, however,
at work sinking down by the side OF 1t
where the ground is less hard, and where
they can make some Roadway with the
tools they have. Mr.. Roberts considers
this one of the best claims in the district.
1t is owned by a Gold Hill Company,
who. we think, would greatly serve their
own interests by furnishing their miners
with a good supply Of tools.
An ELABORATE OpINIoN.-Judge K. 5.
Mesick delivered a very long and able
opinion, yesterday, in the case of James,
who was before him for a new hearing on
certain processes. It will be recollected
that James, some time since, killed one z.
H. Dowd, was tried, convicted, and SEN
fenced but his sentence was committed
to imprisonment in the Penitentiary.
subsequently he was p%ardoned by Gov.
Nye, and set at liberty a few months
since by the Warden, who, thinking he
had acted illegally, telegraphed to James,
who had gone to California, to return and
save him trouble. James returned at
once; was handed to the custody Of
Sheriff Clark, and a motion for judgment
on the verdict made by the District At
torney. Judge Mesick has had the matter
under Amusement for some time, and yes
terday delivered an opinion restoring
James to his liberty. The opinion was
an able one.
The GIANT PROJECT BEGUN.- Last
evening a meeting was held at the office of
Hon. VIM. NJ. Stewart and a preliminary
organization effected of the Sutro Drain
Tunnel Company, by the election OF the
following officers: President, VIM. NJ.
Stewart; Directors, D. E. Avery, Louis
Jenuin. H. X. Mitchell and A. h. Sutro;
Treasurer, VIM. B. Thornburg; Secretary,
D. y. Anderson. The entire officers
elect are excellent business men and Of in
domitable energy, and work will soon be
commenced on one Of the grandest con-
cep,ions of the mining history Of the Pa
cifc. Sutro Drain Tunnel-this work
once thoroughly commenced will never be
allowed to falter, for the necessity for just
such O means of drainage doubtless ex-
lists, and the earlier measures are taken to
enable the working of our immense min
eral deposits at the lower depths, so much
the more prosperous will our mines be-
come at an earlier date. We welcome the
project, and wish it success.
Jusr THE THING.-We to-day received
the present of a typographical map of the
range of mountains containing the Com
stock lode. 1t includes Virginia City,
Gold Hill and American City, and shows
the location of all the claims, mining
works and mills along the line of the great
Comstock lode. We have given it a crit
ical examination, and are much pleased to
be able to state that in every respect we
have found it accurate. We pronounce
it Just the thing for every person to have
who own interests IN mills or mines along
the Comstock lode, and the most reliable
map to 90 to for information concerning
their location. The map was prepared by
Hugo Hochholzer, civil and mining en-
gineer, Virginia City, and is published by
\. Gensoul, No. oil Montgomery street,
San Francisco. Bernhard Franz is the
agent for the sale Of them in this State,
and keeps a supply constantly on hand.
WE learn from DR.. Bronson, the at
tendant physician, that the condition Of
Mr.. Kelly, who was so severely injured
Sunday evening, remains unchanged.
The base of his skull has doubtless been
fractured, and the chances of his recovery
are very slim. DR.. ]. G. Tucker, the con-
sulting surgeon, agrees with DR.. Bronson
in the opinion that the injuries are of a
very serious nature. The patient is being
subjected t a vigorous treatment, and
every known remedy will De applied.
Kelly is an energetic business man, a good
citizen. ard q gentleman whose loss,
should he die, will be severely felt by a
large circle of acquaintance.
OPERA HousB.-Last evening, Dan
Setchell appeared as Asa Trenchard in
American Cousin, and evidently pleaseda
good audience. Tomorrow evening, Mr..
Setchell receives q benefit, on which occa-
sion he will appear as Madam Wander
pants, in the farce Of Wanted q Thousand
Milliners, this part is said to be Dams win
ming hand, and we feel confident that the
house will be crowded at this last chance
to witness the i~mpersonation so highly
spoken of by the best critics at San Fran
cisco. Besides this there will be present.
cd two other plays in which setchell is
King.
