OF 6UO oZs. was oePoSlteos yesseruayi ~
Theall S Co.'s, for assay, from this dis
trict. We. learn, from the party who
brought it, that it came from the Jersey
ledge, and was worked at the Nevada
Mill. The mines there are being worked
with good succsss-the rock yielding good
returns. High hopes and anticipations
are INDUCED in by the parties interested.
Three mills are at work there at present
the Nevada, of l0-stamps, built BY q New
York company, under the superintendent
Of Charles II. Tompkins, formerly Of the
Mexican Mill, Of Virginia City this mill
is now crushing rock from the Montana
ledge, which is yielding well it is the
finest mill of the three. costing upwards Of
$4,000. The Weber Mil. Of 6-stamps,
with facilities for five more, is at work on
Montezuma rock, yielding very rich re-.
turns to the ton. The Chrysopolis Mill is
working rock from q mine Of the same
name ; this mill, we believe, is of the style
called the " Alligator Crusher !" but from
what we can learn it is not a success, a
fair trial will be given il, however, to test
its practicability. The miners Of the dis
trict are very much elated at their future
prospects, and we think with good reason,
as the rock looks well, and the returns
are such as will warrant them in their
belief. r'
STARTED WoRX.-By invitation of F.
A. Mars,on, Superintendent, we visited
the tunnel Of the United States Mining
Company, this forenoon, and found that
work is being prosecuted with vigor. Tho
company have erected a workshop and
made other Improvements at the mouth OF
the tunnel. Workmen are now engaged
in cleaning out the tunnel, and newly
timbering where necessary. II has been
already run in a distance of more than
1000 feet. At about 1920 feet from the
mouth the ledge is visible, with a pay
streak Of two feet in width. Il has the
well known Comstock " indication " of a
blue clay casing for the east wall ; the
west wall we could not see on account Of
a cave. A double shaft is sunk, some rs
feet east Of the ledge. q distance OF 90 feet.
Mr.. Marston informs US that he expects
to strike the ledge in the shaft by sinking
from ten to twenty feet.
SHoor1xo.-About one o'clock to-day
a difficulty occurred at a house on c
street, Virginia, near the Ell Dorado sa-
loon, between two men, named Morris
and Hammel, about some dirt that was
thrown on the premises. Hard words
passed between them, when a young lad,
son of Morris, procured q pistol and shot
at Hammel, hitting him in the f1eshy part
Of the arm, near the shoulder. The wound
is no serious. The boy was arrested, but
is now out on bail, and will have his trial
on Monday.
SrrLrs.-Boys round own are getting
to be very expert in walking on stills.
They p~erambulate up and down our
streets like seven-league-booted magicians.
An occasional slip and carslump in the
mud does not appear to disconcert them
much /; though mother may be q trife put
out at the sight Of returning-sonny's trow-
sers, after a march Of unusual number OF
downfalls. Well; boys will be boys
won't they ma
