New DIscovgRIEs.-Just below and
south of Old Man Mountain" in Excel
sior District, there have been, within the
past week, some very rich quartz lodges
discovered and located, among which we
will name the Elliot and Mountain Rose
lodges. The quartz from these lodges
show a fair sprinkling of free gold; but
very little metal Of any other kind is found
in it. This new discovery Of gold-bearlng
rock bids fair to rival in richness some Of
the older claims in that district. The
locators Of these claims will Immediately
90 to work 10 fully develop their mines.
No fear of snow to retard the work during
this winter is anticipated by them. An
assay of this rock in Virginia City shows
an average yield Of S247 per ton.
NEAR PERIsHIN0.-D During the last
snow storm on the mountains, a party
consisting Of three white men and a
C~hinamau, started from Summit City to
go to Weber's station, on the Heness Pass
road, and were caught in the terrific storm
of hat day, and anne near perishing.
The white men finally got through during
the night, in a sad condition, leaving the
Chinaman behind TO perish. He was
rescued, however, the next day, by parties
who vent in search of him. He is now
kindly cared for by Mr.. Taylor, OF the
station. with fair prospects of getting over
the injuries sustained by being almost
frozen to death.
LoSr ONE OF HIS "PETs."-For tho last
few days, our Chinese community have
been somewhat excited by the non.appear-
ance OF one Of their number-a wood
packer. II is supposed by them that the
Indians have "nipped" this young moon
eyed rascal in the bloom Of his youthful
ness. George Downey, the Great Father
and protector of the Celestials, in Virginia,
is much sorrowed at the loss Of one of his
flock, and refuses TO be comforted. II the
guilty "red man " be found who hath
taken this life" it will be made very
warm for him BY the opium-ea,ers and
friends OF the missing man.
WILL WoRx.-The old idea that a SOL
der will not work, has been exploded BY
the disbanded ones, late of Fort Churchill.
We find them at all kinds of occupations
since their dircharge from the service of
Uncle Sam. We are glad TO see it, and
hope that our mill and mining men will
help the boys in their efforts to procure a
living among US as citizens again. Pro-
tect the soldier in peace. and he will pro-
tect US in time of war, il we don't happen
to be on the fight.
FOUND DEAD.-A man by the name of
Thomas Li,ecat, an Englishman, was
found dead in Il shaft back Of the Ophir
works this morning. As the shaft is only
worked in the day time by the Ophir Com
pany, it is supposed that the unfortunate
man fell into it some time last night. A
c~oroner's inquest will be held upon the
body this evening.
GoEs FOR Ir.-From the friends Of
Lieutenant John Littletield we learn that
John will make a tremendous break for
the position Of Sergeant-st-Arms of the
House, at the meeting Of this body in our
State this Winter. The Lieutenant would
make a first rate one, and we cannot see
any reason why he should not have the
place. His capabilities to fill the position
cannot be doubted.
ANOTHER Rich SrRIXE.-Some Of our
Virginia prospectors have lately found, in
Red mountain. near the famous Enterprise
claim, q fine ledge Of quartz, some eight
feet in width. The rock showed TO US, as
coming from there, is literally sprinkled
with free gold. and from the appearance
Of it, we should judge that it would assay
high up in the figures.
OPERA HousE.-The burlesque play OF
Mazeppa," at this popular place Of
amusement, has been let out" for a
season. Tonight an entire new bill will
be presented. The burlesque Of the
"Darkey's Motto" will be produced for
the first time here this evening. \ rich
time is expected, as the piece will be put
upon the stage in splendid style.
MURDERED The lost Chinaman, Of
whom we speak in another item, was found
BY his countrymen. on the west side OF
Mt. Davidson, this morning, with his
head nearly severed from his body-it
having evidently been done with an axe.
No clue has as yet been found by which
the murder can be traced.
GREAT Observation-Disclosures is called

stock of watches, ~jewelry, ETC., is offered

Losr.-The man who was seen yesterday
to pick up the pair of horse blankets, be-
tween Gold Hill and Silver City, and who
does not know the owner, can get a re-
ward Of ten dollars by leaving them at
the Devils Gate toll house, or a. this
Office. The owner wants them.
Nor DEEP.-We are informed by a let
ter from Summit City, Excelsior, that the
snow there at present does not interfere
with the travelling upon any Of the roads
OF mountain trails. At no time has the
snow exceeded three feet, and at present
II is but two feet.
IxNocENr.-rhe parties arrested a few
days since by officers Lackey and Edwards
on a charge of stealing some money and
other valuables, were ~honorably acquitted

Judge Meagher.
