Trade o yer the Plains During the Past
Year,

The Atchison (Kansas) Daily Champion pub.
fishes an accurate statement Of the amount of
freight shipped from that point across the Plains
for the past year, Twenty-seven firms and ind
yidual freighters are engaged in this trade. Dur
ing the year the aggregate amount of their ship
ments was q, 600 pounds assorted merchan-
disc, requiring for its transportation nearly
5000 wagons, over 1000 mules and horses, and
nearly $4,000 oxen, employing upwards of 5000
men. Over half of this freight went to Colorado,
and the remainder to different points in Utah,
Montana, Nevada, Idaho, New Mexico, Ne
braska, and Western Kansas including military
posts. The capital invested in this business is
over $6,000,000. The value OF the merchandise
and machinery transported is not definitely
known.
The overland coaches which leave and arrive
at Atchison daily have taken out and brought in
over 1000 passengers, and have also brought
here So, 100000 in specie, and carried out 46OO
pounds of freight. The Butterield Overland
Despatch Line has also carried large number
of passengers each way, but as that line was es-
tabllshed late in the seaaon, no accurate state
ment Of its business is made. FIeighting bust
ness in this city is times greater this year
than in 1861, five times larger than IN 1862, four
times larger than in 1868, and 100000 pounds
larger than in 1864 The most experienced
ireighters think that the trade in 1866 will be
nearly double that of the past year.

The Immense Resources of Nevada.

The Immense Resources of Nevada.
THE vast wealth of Nevada is only beginning
to be understood. Recent reports from that
region prove the existence of immense
deposits of silver-bearing lodges that have
not, as yet, been opened by the hand of man.
The whole amount of silver taken from the
mines of Nevada during the year 1866 will
reach the enormous amount of fifty millions
of dollars. In 1854 it was about forty mil
lions, thus proving that the productiveness is
gradually upon the increase. 1t is estimated
that, with the present limited means of pro-
duction, three tons of solid silver are taken
from the mines of Nevada every day. Twenty
ledges alone produced between three and four
millions of dollars worth in the short space of
the three months ending in April, 1866.
The Reese River district which is, perhaps,
the richest argentiferous region Of the world
is being rapidly developed, the mines of
Lander Hill, in the immediate vicinity of
Austin, having averaged $204'50 dollars per
ton during the year 1865, which is greatly
above the productions of any silver mines yet
discovered. The Revenue Extension Com
pany, who own nineteen distinct lodges, are
tunneling their property with eminent success
1t is situated at the end of Lander Hill, and
by boring two hundred feet have already
struck a ledge that is yielding remunerative
returns. Mr.. d. S. CHILDs, the Superintend-
ent, who is practical engineer, and upon the
spot to oversee the operations. reports that
within the coming six or eight weeks the
work will be in state OF progress
that will guarantee the production OF an
immense amount of ore, that can be profit
ably reduced. 1t should be observed that by
the making of tunnel the entire wealth O.

DRs HUNTER s. RAMsAY.-The readers of the

sumption and its Cognates which have appeared from
time to time in the Press and other local papers The
simple style OF these articles rail to tavorably
impress the reader while the research and wide ex
perience OF which they give evidence make them
douby valuable to the public But there is one point
to which we wished more particularly TO call atten
ton, believing it to be of the deepest interest to
thousands VIZ The curabihtY OF Consumption
This question has formerly been so involved in
doubt that the public was perhaps justified in
entertaining skepticism as to the suhiciency
of any medical skill to heal the lungs after once they
became the.seat of tuberce. These gentlemen, how
ever contend with great force and skill (producng
numerous instances of cure to prove the same) that
by means of medcated inhalation-i e., by bringing
the necessary remedies in the form of medicated
vapor directly in contact with the parts diseased
these parts being sOothed, their normal and

however, will appear in to-morrows Press and we
bespeak Tor 1t careful perusal. At all events al
the light that possibly be thrown upon the ma.
ture, causes, and treatment of pulmonary ccnsump

gratefully received by the public.

Revenue Extension Company, they having
the earliest outlet for the ore to the surface,
and are privileged to extend the tunnel to an
unlimited extent. They consequently hold
the key to the whole range of lodges with
which the hill abounds, supposed by Mr..
CHILDs to number at least flve hundred. The
stock of the Revenue has been disposed of so
rapidly that it is the intention of the Com
pany to close their subscripHonl books in the
course of ten or fifteen days, and
persons desiring to invest should do SO imme-
diately. There can be no reasonable doubt
of the fact that the Revenue stock will pay.
1t is in the hands Of well-known business men,
who are devoting their time and attention to
their property, and are determined to make it
an undeniable success. Nevada is our
youngest State, but promises to be one of our
richest. The following returns made by the

idea of the success which is there attending

A CHEERING SPIRIT OF ENTERPRIsE.--
The difficulties experienced from the scarcity of
tenant houses, during the past year especially,
has awakened a spirit of enterprise which, in the
building season, will go far towards supplying
the demand for houses in Camden. Several
capitalists, we learn, design putting up a num-
beI the coming season, besides those to be put
up for individuals in different portions OF the
city, Mr.. Jarvison, the extensive lumber dealer
OF North Ward, will build row OF three.story
brick houses on his grounds on Front street.
There will be quite a number erected, also, near
one or two other large business establishments
in North Ward.
Now that capitalists find that there is no hope
of procuring building material any cheaper for
years to come at least, they are disposed to in
vest in such improvements as viii benefit the
town and add to its gro with. Lots, although
still held at too high figure are, of course, tar
more accessible to poor Iuen than those on the
opposite side of the river, and our facilities for
crossing the river have become so perfect that
mechanics can reach the workshops in Philadel-
phia much sooner than from the suburbs OF that
city, and thus save great tax for car hire:
Aside from this taxes are now, and always VIII
be, much lower on this side of the river. TO
those who desire to invest in real estate we
know of no place that offers better inducements
than Camden.

THE GERMANTOWN TRAGEDY. This
morning, Chief Detective Franklin and Detec-
tiVes Taggart, Levy, and Tryon, started for
Germantown, in order to further investigate the
horrible tragedy committed at that place on Sat
urdaV morning last. Christopher Berger, who
has been arrested charged with the crime, is
about u years of age, has been married about
ten months, and has one child aged two weeks
The prisoner is locked up at the Germantown
Station House. The detectives have obtained
considerable circumstantial evidence which
points towards him as being the murderer
These facts are withheld until the Coroner re-
sumes his Investigation on Thursday next. Ber-
ger has resided in Germantown about six months,
and is by trade wool sorter. He is not believed
to have done anything in particular since he has
resided in that town.
In reference to certain matters which needed
explanation, and which very much jeopardize
his life and liberty, he has told different stories,
and upon being cornered has acknowledged
that his statements were faIsehoods. His
acknowledgment would be followed up by
another tale, which upon investigation would
also be found to be untrue. The prisoner is per-
fectly calm and collected, although he is very
communicative, but what he says in regard to
his whereabouts, etc., has been found to be
without the least shadow of truth There is
considerable mystery to be unraVelled, and for
that reason we are compelled to withhold facts
which, if published, might Interfere with the
ends of Justice.
