Enron News The signs of the times
seem to indicate o new life in Esme-
ralda county, and I propose from time
to time to inform your readers of what
facts of interest appear here-sought for
with the utmost avidity by our ever
changing population. The streets Of
u town are, and have been for some
weeks past, crowded with teams unload
ing the winters supply Of goods bust
ness Is improving the mines yielding
the precious metals to the exercise of
muscle, and the yield paying we'll for
the investment Of capital where enter
prise has accompanied the same. Since
1868 we have been watching o setting
sun, and once more our eyes are turned
to "Aurora," "The Pride Of the Morn
ing" and there Is no doubt that the
bosom Of Mount Braly has imprisoned
in her safe as rich mines as the world
ever saw We got o bad name, and have
suffered the same tethat the dog which
we read of that got q bad name.

Besides, our section is, unfortunately
for us, placed farther and farther from
speculative sight by the range and
course of sectional Improvements, actual
and contemplated; and our people, with
a few exceptions, have helped to riret
their own chains. The Pacific Railroad
Company, of course, having selected
their own line and set about its con-
struction, desire not only to build the
road but also to make II and keep 1t the
only road. They spend their money and
time to destroy us-and why2 Any
tyro knows thatit..is insaid and further
ance of their plans; and yet, by their
representatives inthe Legislature, Es-
meralda, with one or two exceptions,
Douglas and 0rmsby, unanimously, are
found working side by side with that
corporation-the completion of whose
plans will reduce us still further for
years. They must have noted the daily
depreciation In the value Of property;
whilst the counties promised to be
crossed by railways, are even on the
promise alone becoming more populous
and wealthy. We must, and wiit, arise
from our lethargy, and learn that "God
helps them who help themselves"
EsxERALDA MINING DISTRICTS.
A new District, or, rather, q very
large lode of gold and silver bearing ore,
has been recently discovered at the base
Of Castle Peak, about 80 miles from
Aurora. Some few hundreds OF the
shares, have recently been sold to Vir-
ginia capitalists ; and from the latest
news, the expression Of the Queen OF
Sheba, when beholding the glory OF
Solomon, would seem appropriate: "Ihe
half has not been told"
The new mill at Pine Grove has just
been received by cheever, Blasdel, Pray
& Todmau, and is ready for more ex-
tended operations. Wheeler has sold
seven hundred feet of his mine for
$l0,500.
The mill at Washington was started
last Monday, and runs beautifully: They
are said to have an abundance OF GOOD
ore. With such men as are connected
with this mill, practical business men,
it cannot fail. The ores they had
worked at Dall's mill yielded an aver
age per ton of $244 81, as returned to
tho Assessor Of our county. This is
good enough.
Silver Peak, in the southeast part Of
our county, is attracting q large share
of attention. They are working some
sixty or eighty men, erecting machin-
cry, building roads, etc.
Columbus, also, is known to possess
valuable ores and there is q mill In
process Of erection,
All of the above named Districts are
situated fayorablyt for working, being
located contiguous TO fns agricultural
districts, with plenty Of fuel and water.
Next year, Esmeralda county will defy
all attempts to keep her down. She is
bound to "rise."
